Radiowaves: Fife Education's podcast station

Fife Education has for over 5 years worked with the Radiowaves online site to develop our own audio and video podcast stations for every one of our priamry and secondary schools.

This activity has proved to be invaluable in addressing the four capacities of the Curriculum for Excellence, enhancing our pupils' ICT skills and using ICT across the curriculum.

The site is moderated and offers up to date web tools in a safe, secure environment. It is a service we continue to use even though glow, the national intranet, offers some of the same tools now this has only happened inthe past year so we will continue to use Radiowaves for the reasons cited above.
