At SIRikt this year, we have invited some students from nearby Slovenian schools to attend and create a small series of podcasts where they interview some of the key speakers and participants from their (a student) point of view. This was their first time planning, recording and editing and they split into two groups and created their podcasts using portable handheld recorders and editing in Audacity free editing software.

The teams were coached by Dom Graveson, an ex-BBC broadcaster. Their podcasts and summaries are below:

Thursday podcasts:

Title: E-learning: from iPad to classroom

Here we are :) 3 students making podcast with some interesting people with interesting presentations: producer Primož, recorder & editor Matic and interviewer Kristina (coming from Secondary school for wood science and technology and Drama High school).

Today we interviewed 3 people :

- the first one was Adrian Blight from Imagine education who was talking about technology and 21st century education
- then we talked to Špela Grum (working at the secondary school for wood science and technology) and she answered a very important question: Is the digital material for foreign language teaching interactive enough?
- and our favourite: Tim Rylands (UK), who presented iPad and iPad's apps

Naslov: Spletna generacija učencev
