History
• ‘Podcast’ has been around since 2001 where it was
first mentioned as a new term.
• On February 5, 2005, Shae Spencer Management,
New York, trademark application, rejected because
Wikipedia's podcast entry already described the
history of the term
• 8 June 2006, the German chancellor Angela Merkel
became the first head of government to launch a
regular video podcast
© Delphian eLearning 2007
Who uses podcasting?
• Anyone with an Internet connection
• Professional broadcasters for content
distribution as podcasts
• Amateurs share content and opinions
• Schools and tertiary campuses make
content available

Podcasting project
Research project:
iPodagogy: using iPods and Vodcasting for Learning
What’s it all about? Teacher 1 vodcast Teacher 2 vodcast
Student reflects Student 2 Student 3 Rocks Student 4
The capacity of iPods, that synchronise audiovisuals
with an integrated LCMS
• to enhance student engagement
• to embed innovative teaching practice
• the use of ICT outside the classroom
© Delphian eLearning 2007
What the research says
Impact on student learning
Half reported that they learned better by doing things and liked to be
active learners - “I’m more of a hands-on person – I liked listening to
them [podcasts] and watching as well”
• Viewing the podcasts had improved their performance or test
scores: “I watch and learn everyday so podcasts helped me”
• Avoiding distractions, iPods were useful as “you can learn at your
own pace while the class is being silly”
• Socially isolated learned that they can perform well as part of a
group
• Those who cope well with traditional print literacy struggled with
technologies
• iPods meant too much homework and more work than other Year
8s; impact of higher-order thinking
• Reality - “improvements in all curriculum areas and also in
behaviour, motivation and responsibility by the end of the project
© Delphian eLearning 2007
What the research says
Impact on teacher pedagogy
Teachers confident in routine applications but little experience with
blogs, podcasts and handhelds
ICT skills and confidence have increased overall
Use of online services has increased overall
Changed teaching practice
‘Enriching, rewarding learning curve’
‘made me think outside the box’; ‘love working in a team’
‘ ‘helped our relationship…the power dynamics have changed. It’s
empowering for them as they can help me’
‘changed the way I think about my teaching…how to use technology to
recall and manage what they learn’
‘gave me an insight into what I’m capable of and what the kids are
capable of’
‘stretched me personally’
© Delphian eLearning 2007
Conclusions
• Personal, portable, handheld devices provide flexibility,
accessibility and frequency of use, despite small screen size
and limited battery life, increase engagement, motivation,
organisational skills, active learning and independent learning.
• They provide 1:1 access in schools leading to more engaged
students and their portability extends learning into the home –
the concept of m-Learning
• It is essential when introducing emerging technologies to have
pedagogical discussions before it is introduced, especially if it
is planned as a school-wide implementation
• Strong school planning and support for teachers
© Delphian eLearning 2007
Implications: T & L
• Enables students to use their own MP3
players for learning
• Broadens educational opportunities to all
• Teachers, academics can develop lessons
• Students can demonstrate their learning
• Reflective tool for teaching and for
learning

What the research says
Impact on teacher pedagogy
Teachers confident in routine applications but little experience with
blogs, podcasts and handhelds
ICT skills and confidence have increased overall
Use of online services has increased overall
Changed teaching practice
‘Enriching, rewarding learning curve’
‘made me think outside the box’; ‘love working in a team’
‘ ‘helped our relationship…the power dynamics have changed. It’s
empowering for them as they can help me’
‘changed the way I think about my teaching…how to use technology to
recall and manage what they learn’
‘gave me an insight into what I’m capable of and what the kids are
capable of’
‘stretched me personally’

Conclusions
• Personal, portable, handheld devices provide flexibility,
accessibility and frequency of use, despite small screen size
and limited battery life, increase engagement, motivation,
organisational skills, active learning and independent learning.
• They provide 1:1 access in schools leading to more engaged
students and their portability extends learning into the home –
the concept of m-Learning
• It is essential when introducing emerging technologies to have
pedagogical discussions before it is introduced, especially if it
is planned as a school-wide implementation
• Strong school planning and support for teachers
© Delphian eLearning 2007

History
• ‘Podcast’ has been around since 2001 where it was
first mentioned as a new term.
• On February 5, 2005, Shae Spencer Management,
New York, trademark application, rejected because
Wikipedia's podcast entry already described the
history of the term
• 8 June 2006, the German chancellor Angela Merkel
became the first head of government to launch a
regular video podcast
© Delphian eLearning 2007
Who uses podcasting?
• Anyone with an Internet connection
• Professional broadcasters for content

• Avoiding distractions, iPods were useful as “you can learn at your
own pace while the class is being silly”
• Socially isolated learned that they can perform well as part of a

History
• ‘Podcast’ has been around since 2001 where it was
first mentioned as a new term.
• On February 5, 2005, Shae Spencer Management,
New York, trademark application, rejected because
Wikipedia's podcast entry already described the
history of the term
• 8 June 2006, the German chancellor Angela Merkel
became the first head of government to launch a
regular video podcast

Student reflects Student 2 Student 3 Rocks Student 4
The capacity of iPods, that synchronise audiovisuals
with an integrated LCMS
• to enhance student engagement
• to embed innovative teaching practice
• the use of ICT outside the classroom
© Delphian eLearning 2007
What the research says
Impact on student learning
Half reported that they learned better by doing things and liked to be
active learners - “I’m more of a hands-on person – I liked listening to
them [podcasts] and watching as well”
• Viewing the podcasts had improved their performance or test
scores: “I watch and learn everyday so podcasts helped me”
• Avoiding distractions, iPods were useful as “you can learn at your
own pace while the class is being silly”
• Socially isolated learned that they can perform well as part of a
group
• Those who cope well with traditional print literacy struggled with
technologies
• iPods meant too much homework and more work than other Year
8s; impact of higher-order thinking
• Reality - “improvements in all curriculum areas and also in
behaviour, motivation and responsibility by the end of the project
© Delphian eLearning 2007
What the research says
Impact on teacher pedagogy
Teachers confident in routine applications but little experience with
blogs, podcasts and handhelds
ICT skills and confidence have increased overall
Use of online services has increased overall
Changed teaching practice
‘Enriching, rewarding learning curve’
‘made me think outside the box’; ‘love working in a team’
‘ ‘helped our relationship…the power dynamics have changed. It’s
empowering for them as they can help me’
‘changed the way I think about my teaching…how to use technology to
recall and manage what they learn’
‘gave me an insight into what I’m capable of and what the kids are
capable of’
‘stretched me personally’
© Delphian eLearning 2007
Conclusions
• Personal, portable, handheld devices provide flexibility,
accessibility and frequency of use, despite small screen size
and limited battery life, increase engagement, motivation,
organisational skills, active learning and independent learning.
• They provide 1:1 access in schools leading to more engaged
students and their portability extends learning into the home –
the concept of m-Learning
• It is essential when introducing emerging technologies to have
pedagogical discussions before it is introduced, especially if it
is planned as a school-wide implementation
• Strong school planning and support for teachers
© Delphian eLearning 2007
Implications: T & L
• Enables students to use their own MP3
players for learning

What the research says
Impact on student learning
Half reported that they learned better by doing things and liked to be
active learners - “I’m more of a hands-on person – I liked listening to
them [podcasts] and watching as well”
• Viewing the podcasts had improved their performance or test
scores: “I watch and learn everyday so podcasts helped me”
• Avoiding distractions, iPods were useful as “you can learn at your
own pace while the class is being silly”
• Socially isolated learned that they can perform well as part of a
group
• Those who cope well with traditional print literacy struggled with
technologies
• iPods meant too much homework and more work than other Year
8s; impact of higher-order thinking
• Reality - “improvements in all curriculum areas and also in
behaviour, motivation and responsibility by the end of the project

What the research says
Impact on teacher pedagogy
Teachers confident in routine applications but little experience with
blogs, podcasts and handhelds
ICT skills and confidence have increased overall
Use of online services has increased overall
Changed teaching practice
‘Enriching, rewarding learning curve’
‘made me think outside the box’; ‘love working in a team’
‘ ‘helped our relationship…the power dynamics have changed. It’s
empowering for them as they can help me’
‘changed the way I think about my teaching…how to use technology to
recall and manage what they learn’
‘gave me an insight into what I’m capable of and what the kids are
capable of’
‘stretched me personally’

Conclusions
• Personal, portable, handheld devices provide flexibility,
accessibility and frequency of use, despite small screen size
and limited battery life, increase engagement, motivation,
organisational skills, active learning and independent learning.
• They provide 1:1 access in schools leading to more engaged
students and their portability extends learning into the home –
the concept of m-Learning
• It is essential when introducing emerging technologies to have
pedagogical discussions before it is introduced, especially if it
is planned as a school-wide implementation
• Strong school planning and support for teachers
© Delphian eLearning 2007
Implications: T & L
• Enables students to use their own MP3
players for learning
• Broadens educational opportunities to all

Why is podcasting important?
• Education has become portable
• Content is downloaded and listened to or
viewed when and where the learner
decides
• Easy to make podcasts or vodcasts
• Tools are affordable – MP3 player &
software

Student reflects Student 2 Student 3 Rocks Student 4
The capacity of iPods, that synchronise audiovisuals
with an integrated LCMS
• to enhance student engagement
• to embed innovative teaching practice
• the use of ICT outside the classroom
© Delphian eLearning 2007
What the research says
Impact on student learning
Half reported that they learned better by doing things and liked to be
active learners - “I’m more of a hands-on person – I liked listening to
them [podcasts] and watching as well”
• Viewing the podcasts had improved their performance or test
scores: “I watch and learn everyday so podcasts helped me”
• Avoiding distractions, iPods were useful as “you can learn at your
own pace while the class is being silly”
• Socially isolated learned that they can perform well as part of a
group
• Those who cope well with traditional print literacy struggled with
technologies
• iPods meant too much homework and more work than other Year
8s; impact of higher-order thinking
• Reality - “improvements in all curriculum areas and also in
behaviour, motivation and responsibility by the end of the project
© Delphian eLearning 2007
What the research says
Impact on teacher pedagogy
Teachers confident in routine applications but little experience with
blogs, podcasts and handhelds
ICT skills and confidence have increased overall
Use of online services has increased overall
Changed teaching practice
‘Enriching, rewarding learning curve’
‘made me think outside the box’; ‘love working in a team’
‘ ‘helped our relationship…the power dynamics have changed. It’s
empowering for them as they can help me’
‘changed the way I think about my teaching…how to use technology to
recall and manage what they learn’
‘gave me an insight into what I’m capable of and what the kids are
capable of’
‘stretched me personally’
© Delphian eLearning 2007
Conclusions
• Personal, portable, handheld devices provide flexibility,
accessibility and frequency of use, despite small screen size
and limited battery life, increase engagement, motivation,
organisational skills, active learning and independent learning.
• They provide 1:1 access in schools leading to more engaged
students and their portability extends learning into the home –
the concept of m-Learning
• It is essential when introducing emerging technologies to have
pedagogical discussions before it is introduced, especially if it
is planned as a school-wide implementation
• Strong school planning and support for teachers
© Delphian eLearning 2007
Implications: T & L
• Enables students to use their own MP3
players for learning

What the research says
Impact on student learning
Half reported that they learned better by doing things and liked to be
active learners - “I’m more of a hands-on person – I liked listening to
them [podcasts] and watching as well”
• Viewing the podcasts had improved their performance or test
scores: “I watch and learn everyday so podcasts helped me”
• Avoiding distractions, iPods were useful as “you can learn at your
own pace while the class is being silly”
• Socially isolated learned that they can perform well as part of a
group
• Those who cope well with traditional print literacy struggled with
technologies
• iPods meant too much homework and more work than other Year
8s; impact of higher-order thinking
• Reality - “improvements in all curriculum areas and also in
behaviour, motivation and responsibility by the end of the project
© Delphian eLearning 2007
What the research says
Impact on teacher pedagogy
Teachers confident in routine applications but little experience with
blogs, podcasts and handhelds
ICT skills and confidence have increased overall
Use of online services has increased overall
Changed teaching practice
‘Enriching, rewarding learning curve’
‘made me think outside the box’; ‘love working in a team’
‘ ‘helped our relationship…the power dynamics have changed. It’s
empowering for them as they can help me’
‘changed the way I think about my teaching…how to use technology to
recall and manage what they learn’
‘gave me an insight into what I’m capable of and what the kids are
capable of’
‘stretched me personally’

Conclusions
• Personal, portable, handheld devices provide flexibility,
accessibility and frequency of use, despite small screen size
and limited battery life, increase engagement, motivation,
organisational skills, active learning and independent learning.
• They provide 1:1 access in schools leading to more engaged
students and their portability extends learning into the home –
the concept of m-Learning
• It is essential when introducing emerging technologies to have
pedagogical discussions before it is introduced, especially if it
is planned as a school-wide implementation
• Strong school planning and support for teachers
© Delphian eLearning 2007
Implications: T & L
• Enables students to use their own MP3
players for learning

• On February 5, 2005, Shae Spencer Management,
New York, trademark application, rejected because
Wikipedia's podcast entry already described the
history of the term
• 8 June 2006, the German chancellor Angela Merkel
became the first head of government to launch a
regular video podcast
© Delphian eLearning 2007

The capacity of iPods, that synchronise audiovisuals
with an integrated LCMS
• to enhance student engagement
• to embed innovative teaching practice
• the use of ICT outside the classroom
© Delphian eLearning 2007
What the research says
Impact on student learning
Half reported that they learned better by doing things and liked to be
active learners - “I’m more of a hands-on person – I liked listening to
them [podcasts] and watching as well”
• Viewing the podcasts had improved their performance or test
scores: “I watch and learn everyday so podcasts helped me”
• Avoiding distractions, iPods were useful as “you can learn at your
own pace while the class is being silly”
• Socially isolated learned that they can perform well as part of a
group
• Those who cope well with traditional print literacy struggled with
technologies
• iPods meant too much homework and more work than other Year
8s; impact of higher-order thinking
• Reality - “improvements in all curriculum areas and also in
behaviour, motivation and responsibility by the end of the project
© Delphian eLearning 2007
What the research says
Impact on teacher pedagogy
Teachers confident in routine applications but little experience with
blogs, podcasts and handhelds
ICT skills and confidence have increased overall
Use of online services has increased overall
Changed teaching practice
‘Enriching, rewarding learning curve’
‘made me think outside the box’; ‘love working in a team’
‘ ‘helped our relationship…the power dynamics have changed. It’s
empowering for them as they can help me’
‘changed the way I think about my teaching…how to use technology to
recall and manage what they learn’
‘gave me an insight into what I’m capable of and what the kids are
capable of’
‘stretched me personally’
© Delphian eLearning 2007
Conclusions
• Personal, portable, handheld devices provide flexibility,
accessibility and frequency of use, despite small screen size
and limited battery life, increase engagement, motivation,
organisational skills, active learning and independent learning.
• They provide 1:1 access in schools leading to more engaged
students and their portability extends learning into the home –
the concept of m-Learning
• It is essential when introducing emerging technologies to have
pedagogical discussions before it is introduced, especially if it
is planned as a school-wide implementation
• Strong school planning and support for teachers
© Delphian eLearning 2007

Podcasting project
Research project:
iPodagogy: using iPods and Vodcasting for Learning
What’s it all about? Teacher 1 vodcast Teacher 2 vodcast
Student reflects Student 2 Student 3 Rocks Student 4
The capacity of iPods, that synchronise audiovisuals
with an integrated LCMS
• to enhance student engagement
• to embed innovative teaching practice
• the use of ICT outside the classroom
© Delphian eLearning 2007
What the research says
Impact on student learning
Half reported that they learned better by doing things and liked to be
active learners - “I’m more of a hands-on person – I liked listening to
them [podcasts] and watching as well”
• Viewing the podcasts had improved their performance or test
scores: “I watch and learn everyday so podcasts helped me”
• Avoiding distractions, iPods were useful as “you can learn at your
own pace while the class is being silly”
• Socially isolated learned that they can perform well as part of a
group
• Those who cope well with traditional print literacy struggled with
technologies
• iPods meant too much homework and more work than other Year
8s; impact of higher-order thinking
• Reality - “improvements in all curriculum areas and also in
behaviour, motivation and responsibility by the end of the project
© Delphian eLearning 2007
What the research says
Impact on teacher pedagogy
Teachers confident in routine applications but little experience with
blogs, podcasts and handhelds
ICT skills and confidence have increased overall
Use of online services has increased overall
Changed teaching practice
‘Enriching, rewarding learning curve’
‘made me think outside the box’; ‘love working in a team’
‘ ‘helped our relationship…the power dynamics have changed. It’s
empowering for them as they can help me’
‘changed the way I think about my teaching…how to use technology to
recall and manage what they learn’
‘gave me an insight into what I’m capable of and what the kids are
capable of’
‘stretched me personally’
© Delphian eLearning 2007
Conclusions
• Personal, portable, handheld devices provide flexibility,
accessibility and frequency of use, despite small screen size
and limited battery life, increase engagement, motivation,
organisational skills, active learning and independent learning.
• They provide 1:1 access in schools leading to more engaged
students and their portability extends learning into the home –
the concept of m-Learning
• It is essential when introducing emerging technologies to have
pedagogical discussions before it is introduced, especially if it
is planned as a school-wide implementation
• Strong school planning and support for teachers
© Delphian eLearning 2007
Implications: T & L
• Enables students to use their own MP3
players for learning
• Broadens educational opportunities to all
• Teachers, academics can develop lessons
• Students can demonstrate their learning
• Reflective tool for teaching and for

Conclusions
• Personal, portable, handheld devices provide flexibility,
accessibility and frequency of use, despite small screen size
and limited battery life, increase engagement, motivation,
organisational skills, active learning and independent learning.
• They provide 1:1 access in schools leading to more engaged
students and their portability extends learning into the home –
the concept of m-Learning
• It is essential when introducing emerging technologies to have
pedagogical discussions before it is introduced, especially if it
is planned as a school-wide implementation
• Strong school planning and support for teachers

History
• ‘Podcast’ has been around since 2001 where it was
first mentioned as a new term.
• On February 5, 2005, Shae Spencer Management,
New York, trademark application, rejected because
Wikipedia's podcast entry already described the
history of the term
• 8 June 2006, the German chancellor Angela Merkel
became the first head of government to launch a
regular video podcast

What the research says
Impact on student learning
Half reported that they learned better by doing things and liked to be
active learners - “I’m more of a hands-on person – I liked listening to
them [podcasts] and watching as well”
• Viewing the podcasts had improved their performance or test
scores: “I watch and learn everyday so podcasts helped me”
• Avoiding distractions, iPods were useful as “you can learn at your
own pace while the class is being silly”
• Socially isolated learned that they can perform well as part of a
group
• Those who cope well with traditional print literacy struggled with
technologies
• iPods meant too much homework and more work than other Year
8s; impact of higher-order thinking

What is it?
• Podcasting (from iPod and broadcast)
– A podcast is a digital media file downloaded
from the Internet using syndication feeds for
playback on portable media players (MP3)
and personal computers.
• Vodcasting (video podcasting)
– the online delivery of video on demand &
video clip content (RSS, Atom).
© Delphian eLearning 2007
History
• ‘Podcast’ has been around since 2001 where it was
first mentioned as a new term.
• On February 5, 2005, Shae Spencer Management,
New York, trademark application, rejected because
Wikipedia's podcast entry already described the
history of the term
• 8 June 2006, the German chancellor Angela Merkel
became the first head of government to launch a
regular video podcast
© Delphian eLearning 2007
Who uses podcasting?
• Anyone with an Internet connection
• Professional broadcasters for content
distribution as podcasts
• Amateurs share content and opinions
• Schools and tertiary campuses make
content available

Research project:
iPodagogy: using iPods and Vodcasting for Learning
What’s it all about? Teacher 1 vodcast Teacher 2 vodcast
Student reflects Student 2 Student 3 Rocks Student 4
The capacity of iPods, that synchronise audiovisuals
with an integrated LCMS
• to enhance student engagement
• to embed innovative teaching practice
• the use of ICT outside the classroom
© Delphian eLearning 2007
What the research says
Impact on student learning
Half reported that they learned better by doing things and liked to be
active learners - “I’m more of a hands-on person – I liked listening to
them [podcasts] and watching as well”
• Viewing the podcasts had improved their performance or test
scores: “I watch and learn everyday so podcasts helped me”
• Avoiding distractions, iPods were useful as “you can learn at your
own pace while the class is being silly”
• Socially isolated learned that they can perform well as part of a
group
• Those who cope well with traditional print literacy struggled with
technologies
• iPods meant too much homework and more work than other Year
8s; impact of higher-order thinking
• Reality - “improvements in all curriculum areas and also in
behaviour, motivation and responsibility by the end of the project
© Delphian eLearning 2007
What the research says
Impact on teacher pedagogy
Teachers confident in routine applications but little experience with
blogs, podcasts and handhelds
ICT skills and confidence have increased overall
Use of online services has increased overall
Changed teaching practice
‘Enriching, rewarding learning curve’
‘made me think outside the box’; ‘love working in a team’
‘ ‘helped our relationship…the power dynamics have changed. It’s
empowering for them as they can help me’
‘changed the way I think about my teaching…how to use technology to
recall and manage what they learn’
‘gave me an insight into what I’m capable of and what the kids are
capable of’
‘stretched me personally’
© Delphian eLearning 2007
Conclusions
• Personal, portable, handheld devices provide flexibility,
accessibility and frequency of use, despite small screen size
and limited battery life, increase engagement, motivation,
organisational skills, active learning and independent learning.
• They provide 1:1 access in schools leading to more engaged
students and their portability extends learning into the home –
the concept of m-Learning
• It is essential when introducing emerging technologies to have
pedagogical discussions before it is introduced, especially if it
is planned as a school-wide implementation
• Strong school planning and support for teachers
© Delphian eLearning 2007
Implications: T & L
• Enables students to use their own MP3
players for learning
• Broadens educational opportunities to all
• Teachers, academics can develop lessons
• Students can demonstrate their learning
• Reflective tool for teaching and for

What the research says
Impact on teacher pedagogy
Teachers confident in routine applications but little experience with
blogs, podcasts and handhelds
ICT skills and confidence have increased overall
Use of online services has increased overall
Changed teaching practice
‘Enriching, rewarding learning curve’
‘made me think outside the box’; ‘love working in a team’
‘ ‘helped our relationship…the power dynamics have changed. It’s
empowering for them as they can help me’
‘changed the way I think about my teaching…how to use technology to

Conclusions
• Personal, portable, handheld devices provide flexibility,
accessibility and frequency of use, despite small screen size
and limited battery life, increase engagement, motivation,
organisational skills, active learning and independent learning.
• They provide 1:1 access in schools leading to more engaged
students and their portability extends learning into the home –
the concept of m-Learning
• It is essential when introducing emerging technologies to have
pedagogical discussions before it is introduced, especially if it
is planned as a school-wide implementation
• Strong school planning and support for teachers
© Delphian eLearning 2007

Why is podcasting important?
• Education has become portable
• Content is downloaded and listened to or
viewed when and where the learner
decides
• Easy to make podcasts or vodcasts
• Tools are affordable – MP3 player &
software
© Delphian eLearning 2007
The Challenge
“Children will soon be bringing
their own powerful networked
multimedia computers into
the classroom” (Sharples,
2006).
What will be the reaction from schools –
ignore, ban, embrace or manage?

Research project:
iPodagogy: using iPods and Vodcasting for Learning
What’s it all about? Teacher 1 vodcast Teacher 2 vodcast
Student reflects Student 2 Student 3 Rocks Student 4
The capacity of iPods, that synchronise audiovisuals
with an integrated LCMS
• to enhance student engagement
• to embed innovative teaching practice
• the use of ICT outside the classroom
© Delphian eLearning 2007
What the research says
Impact on student learning
Half reported that they learned better by doing things and liked to be
active learners - “I’m more of a hands-on person – I liked listening to
them [podcasts] and watching as well”
• Viewing the podcasts had improved their performance or test
scores: “I watch and learn everyday so podcasts helped me”
• Avoiding distractions, iPods were useful as “you can learn at your
own pace while the class is being silly”
• Socially isolated learned that they can perform well as part of a
group
• Those who cope well with traditional print literacy struggled with
technologies
• iPods meant too much homework and more work than other Year
8s; impact of higher-order thinking
• Reality - “improvements in all curriculum areas and also in
behaviour, motivation and responsibility by the end of the project
© Delphian eLearning 2007
What the research says
Impact on teacher pedagogy
Teachers confident in routine applications but little experience with
blogs, podcasts and handhelds
ICT skills and confidence have increased overall
Use of online services has increased overall
Changed teaching practice
‘Enriching, rewarding learning curve’
‘made me think outside the box’; ‘love working in a team’
‘ ‘helped our relationship…the power dynamics have changed. It’s
empowering for them as they can help me’
‘changed the way I think about my teaching…how to use technology to
recall and manage what they learn’
‘gave me an insight into what I’m capable of and what the kids are
capable of’
‘stretched me personally’
© Delphian eLearning 2007
Conclusions
• Personal, portable, handheld devices provide flexibility,
accessibility and frequency of use, despite small screen size
and limited battery life, increase engagement, motivation,
organisational skills, active learning and independent learning.
• They provide 1:1 access in schools leading to more engaged
students and their portability extends learning into the home –
the concept of m-Learning
• It is essential when introducing emerging technologies to have
pedagogical discussions before it is introduced, especially if it
is planned as a school-wide implementation
• Strong school planning and support for teachers
© Delphian eLearning 2007
Implications: T & L
• Enables students to use their own MP3
players for learning
• Broadens educational opportunities to all

The capacity of iPods, that synchronise audiovisuals
with an integrated LCMS
• to enhance student engagement
• to embed innovative teaching practice
• the use of ICT outside the classroom

What the research says
Impact on student learning
Half reported that they learned better by doing things and liked to be
active learners - “I’m more of a hands-on person – I liked listening to
them [podcasts] and watching as well”
• Viewing the podcasts had improved their performance or test
scores: “I watch and learn everyday so podcasts helped me”
• Avoiding distractions, iPods were useful as “you can learn at your
own pace while the class is being silly”
• Socially isolated learned that they can perform well as part of a
group
• Those who cope well with traditional print literacy struggled with
technologies
• iPods meant too much homework and more work than other Year
8s; impact of higher-order thinking
• Reality - “improvements in all curriculum areas and also in
behaviour, motivation and responsibility by the end of the project
© Delphian eLearning 2007
What the research says
Impact on teacher pedagogy
Teachers confident in routine applications but little experience with
blogs, podcasts and handhelds
ICT skills and confidence have increased overall
Use of online services has increased overall
Changed teaching practice
‘Enriching, rewarding learning curve’
‘made me think outside the box’; ‘love working in a team’
‘ ‘helped our relationship…the power dynamics have changed. It’s
empowering for them as they can help me’
‘changed the way I think about my teaching…how to use technology to
recall and manage what they learn’
‘gave me an insight into what I’m capable of and what the kids are
capable of’
‘stretched me personally’

Conclusions
• Personal, portable, handheld devices provide flexibility,
accessibility and frequency of use, despite small screen size
and limited battery life, increase engagement, motivation,
organisational skills, active learning and independent learning.
• They provide 1:1 access in schools leading to more engaged
students and their portability extends learning into the home –
the concept of m-Learning
• It is essential when introducing emerging technologies to have
pedagogical discussions before it is introduced, especially if it
is planned as a school-wide implementation
• Strong school planning and support for teachers
© Delphian eLearning 2007
Implications: T & L
• Enables students to use their own MP3
players for learning

The capacity of iPods, that synchronise audiovisuals
with an integrated LCMS
• to enhance student engagement
• to embed innovative teaching practice
• the use of ICT outside the classroom
© Delphian eLearning 2007
What the research says
Impact on student learning
Half reported that they learned better by doing things and liked to be
active learners - “I’m more of a hands-on person – I liked listening to
them [podcasts] and watching as well”
• Viewing the podcasts had improved their performance or test
scores: “I watch and learn everyday so podcasts helped me”
• Avoiding distractions, iPods were useful as “you can learn at your
own pace while the class is being silly”
• Socially isolated learned that they can perform well as part of a
group
• Those who cope well with traditional print literacy struggled with
technologies
• iPods meant too much homework and more work than other Year
8s; impact of higher-order thinking
• Reality - “improvements in all curriculum areas and also in
behaviour, motivation and responsibility by the end of the project
© Delphian eLearning 2007
What the research says
Impact on teacher pedagogy
Teachers confident in routine applications but little experience with
blogs, podcasts and handhelds
ICT skills and confidence have increased overall
Use of online services has increased overall
Changed teaching practice
‘Enriching, rewarding learning curve’
‘made me think outside the box’; ‘love working in a team’
‘ ‘helped our relationship…the power dynamics have changed. It’s
empowering for them as they can help me’
‘changed the way I think about my teaching…how to use technology to
recall and manage what they learn’
‘gave me an insight into what I’m capable of and what the kids are
capable of’
‘stretched me personally’
© Delphian eLearning 2007
Conclusions
• Personal, portable, handheld devices provide flexibility,
accessibility and frequency of use, despite small screen size
and limited battery life, increase engagement, motivation,
organisational skills, active learning and independent learning.
• They provide 1:1 access in schools leading to more engaged
students and their portability extends learning into the home –
the concept of m-Learning
• It is essential when introducing emerging technologies to have
pedagogical discussions before it is introduced, especially if it
is planned as a school-wide implementation
• Strong school planning and support for teachers
© Delphian eLearning 2007

What the research says
Impact on student learning
Half reported that they learned better by doing things and liked to be
active learners - “I’m more of a hands-on person – I liked listening to
them [podcasts] and watching as well”
• Viewing the podcasts had improved their performance or test
scores: “I watch and learn everyday so podcasts helped me”
• Avoiding distractions, iPods were useful as “you can learn at your
own pace while the class is being silly”
• Socially isolated learned that they can perform well as part of a
group
• Those who cope well with traditional print literacy struggled with
technologies
• iPods meant too much homework and more work than other Year
8s; impact of higher-order thinking
• Reality - “improvements in all curriculum areas and also in
behaviour, motivation and responsibility by the end of the project

What the research says
Impact on teacher pedagogy
Teachers confident in routine applications but little experience with
blogs, podcasts and handhelds
ICT skills and confidence have increased overall
Use of online services has increased overall
Changed teaching practice
‘Enriching, rewarding learning curve’
‘made me think outside the box’; ‘love working in a team’
‘ ‘helped our relationship…the power dynamics have changed. It’s
empowering for them as they can help me’
‘changed the way I think about my teaching…how to use technology to
recall and manage what they learn’
‘gave me an insight into what I’m capable of and what the kids are
capable of’
‘stretched me personally’

Conclusions
• Personal, portable, handheld devices provide flexibility,
accessibility and frequency of use, despite small screen size
and limited battery life, increase engagement, motivation,
organisational skills, active learning and independent learning.
• They provide 1:1 access in schools leading to more engaged
students and their portability extends learning into the home –
the concept of m-Learning
• It is essential when introducing emerging technologies to have
pedagogical discussions before it is introduced, especially if it
is planned as a school-wide implementation
• Strong school planning and support for teachers
© Delphian eLearning 2007
Implications: T & L
• Enables students to use their own MP3
players for learning
• Broadens educational opportunities to all
• Teachers, academics can develop lessons

• Education has become portable
• Content is downloaded and listened to or
viewed when and where the learner
decides
• Easy to make podcasts or vodcasts

The Challenge
“Children will soon be bringing
their own powerful networked
multimedia computers into
the classroom” (Sharples,
2006).
What will be the reaction from schools –
ignore, ban, embrace or manage?
