Congratulations to Allanah King, teacher at Appleby School near Nelson, whose Appleby Showcase Podcast (on Pod-o-matic) has been nominated and is a finalist for the 2007 Edublog Awards- best educational use of audio.

Allanah’s Appleby Showcase podcast is an excellent example of the use of this technology to showcase or celebrate the everyday learning and events of the classroom, allowing parents, grandparents, friends etc to keep up with what is happening, providing an authentic audience for students as they share their efforts.

Please vote for the Appleby Showcase at http://edublogawards.com/2007/best-educational-use-of-audio-2007/
I’m sure Allanah would appreciate the support – as would her pupils (including my nieces who attend Appleby School!)
