About this event
Welcome to the first session of the Adorama Business Solutions Tech Speaker Series. In this new series of live conversations, experts share practical ways to bring creative technology into schools and organizations.
Podcasting is one of the easiest and most rewarding ways to get students creating. It's budget friendly, simple to set up and works in any subject or afterschool program. Students learn to plan, research, interview and speak with confidence, starting as young as kindergarten. When episodes go live on Spotify, families get to hear what their kids made.
Join Adorama Business Solutions and ClubCast for a free one hour session on everything you need to launch a student podcast program.
You'll learn how to:
- Connect podcasting to ELA and other subjects through research, writing, speaking and listening
- Help students find their voice and explore careers by interviewing real professionals
- Choose the right equipment for your space, budget and program size
- Purchase through cooperative contracts your district may already use
- Use ClubCast to guide students from idea to published episode
