Oral history with podcasts
Phil Wood |
Tasmania in 1967 experienced devastating bushfires. They had a great impact on the community. Phil and his students decided that, because of the loss, there was a need to record the oral history of their local community to preserve it for future generations. This is an example of how podcasts can be used to help develop technological, organisational and project management skills, and how they can also create valuable resources for the whole community. Phil Wood is the Coordinator of the Woodbridge Online Access Centre – part of the Adult and Community Learning Services Unit attached to the Tasmanian Department of Education. Woodbridge is located at the D'Entrecasteaux Channel, south of Hobart in Tasmania. |
