Audio accessibility

July5


I’ve had several conversations this week with a parent about making content available in audio format. Not just website content but also things like word documents.

In doing some investigation I came across Odiogo and have decided to try using it to provide an audio version of my blog posts.

If you scroll down my blog you’ll see that the last few posts have an audio link at the top. For the rest you can click on the Odiogo button to the side to go to the podcast feed and either subscribe via RSS or listen to the individual posts. You can even download them as MP3 files.

One thing I’ve noticed already is that if my punctuation is incorrect it shows up in the podcast version!

Hope this is helpful for others.

I am a:

  • teacher
  • mother
  • musician
  • sci-fi fanatic
  • computer geek
  • geocacher
  • blogger
  • wannabe photog
  • …

I have a secret passion – well – maybe not so secret – teaching is not about feeding information into kids brains – it’s about creating a place where kids are inspired, enthused, excited about discovery and learning – so my goal as a teacher is to leave my kids wanting more and having the skills to find out more.

This year I’ve moved up a year level and am enjoying the more sophisticated conversations and explorations that we are having in the classroom. It’s exciting to see kids motivated because our classroom is using 21st Century tools for their everyday teaching and learning.

This blog is really for my reflective practise – about things that have worked (or not worked) in my classroom and to share these with others in my PLN.

I should also mention that I’m a Kiwi living in the North Island of New Zealand (just north of Wellington).
