Pods4Schools

"Pods4Schools is a fantastic project which really gets children involved and thinking about wildlife and the wider environmental issues. Children have the opportunity to get ‘hands-on’ experience of making their own films. We might even be looking at the wildlife film makers of the future!" Gordon Buchanan (pictured)

Do you have the next David Attenborough, Gordon Buchanan or Al Gore in your class? The Pods4schools project gives children the opportunity to create their very own environmental films and audio podcasts, which are then uploaded on to a dedicated website for all to see. We can provide the knowledge, cameras, location and editing equipment all you have to bring is your imagination.

Schools and other groups can also be involved remotely by filiming and editing at school and simply uploading on to the pods4schools website - www.pods4schools.com

Workshops

A pods4schools workshop can be tailored as an add on to one of our existing education workshops or as a stand alone workshop.

Lower primary: The children take part in an existing workshop followed by a short filming workshop where they share their new found knowledge in front of a camera operated by a class mate. This will then be edited and uploaded on to the website by the Scottish Seabird Centre.

Upper primary & Secondary: Pods4schools workshops last a whole day; 10am - 2pm. They involve children researching, storyboarding, filiming, narrating and editing their own films. The workshops can be tailored to particular species, seasons and/or wildlife themes. Pods4schools is an excellent way for children to share their experience of EcoSchools or John Muir Award projects.
