Create-a-Podcast

Source: www.altimiramiddleschool.org 1. Make a folder in your Documents and call it Podcasts. Save everything you plan to use in your podcast into this folder. 2. You (or you and your partner) need to write a script - that is absolutely the first thing you must do. Don't lose it! You will be turning it in later. 3. Your podcast should be at least one and a half minutes long. 4. Find images that fit your script. SAVE them in your Podcast folder. 5.

Sometimes two web addresses are shown if the page with the download link is on a separate site to where the file was actually stored. See the screenshot below for an example.

Tougher rules for foreign students (Tire 4)

10 February 2010 Foreign students from outside Europe wanting to come to the UK to study will be required to meet stricter entry criteria, the Home Secretary announced today. The new regulations will ensure that students studying below degree level have a limited ability to work in the UK, and that their dependants cannot work here at all. It will be even harder for bogus students, whose only aim is to work in the UK, to come into the country. Home Secretary Alan Johnson also confirmed that the government will implement plans to introduce a points test by 2011 for those who wish to earn British citizenship. The new measures for students include: a good standard of English (equivalent of holding just below a GCSE in a foreign language) will be needed to come to the UK and study to improve English language competency further; a good standard of English (again equivalent of holding just below a GCSE in a foreign language) will need to be demonstrated in order to study any other course bel...
