Don't you already know what Podcasting is? It consists of delivering audio content to portable media players, such as ipods, so that we can listen to our audio files whenever and at any time we want to! Because podcasts are typically saved in MP3 format, they can also be listened to on nearly any computer, your ipod, your mobile... 

Encara no saps què és un podcast? Els podcasts són arxius d'audio que es poden descarregar en dispositius  portàtils, com els ipods, amb la finalitat d'escoltar-los on i quan vulgam. Ja que solen estar en format mp3, també podem escoltar-los en quasi tots els ordinadors, ipods, telèfons...

This short film is called Peter and the Wolf. It is a musical story in which some instruments interpret each of the characters. The story is about Peter, who is bullied by other children. With the help of some animal friends, he chases the scary wolf and proves to be a true heroe.

This short film was awarded an Oscar in 2008, but the IES La Nucia goes further: in our project, 1st ESO B and E, 2nd ESO B and G and 3er ESO A and D add voices to this amazing story and make the comic version. Don't miss the making off, all these coming soon!

Thanks to all the students' participation in this project. We don't care about winning the contests: we care about communicating and expressing ourselves!
We hope you like it. Wish us good luck!
