      Using Podcasts to Teach the History of Scottish ClansClan organisationsA podcast is a powerful medium for passing information. Podcasts have increasingly become the go-to channels for passing information either for entertainment or educational purposes among content creators looking to engage their audiences effortlessly but in an interactive way. For the audiences, podcasts have over the years become the preferred choice of consuming information, and for good reasons; they are engaging and so easy to listen to. Benefits of Using Podcasts One of the most outstanding benefits of using a podcast to disseminate information is its uptake and appeal that cuts across different demographics. Whether your podcast’s target audience is Gen X or millennials, all that matters is how you package the information. Here are some of the benefits of using podcasts for educational purposes. Podcasts can be listened to wherever and whenever. One of the reasons why podcasts are common among audiences is because it easily fits into daily routines. You don’t have to stop cooking or washing dishes to listen to a podcast, and all one needs to consume their daily dose of information is a mobile phone. On the other hand, podcasts are downloadable, which means one doesn’t necessarily have to be connected to the internet to consume the content. They are immersive and quite interactive. Podcasts are more engaging and capable of sparking the listener’s imagination, just like reading a book. It isn’t very likely for one’s mind to wander off when listening to an interesting podcast. Keep your listeners’ attention in check by dramatizing the conversation. You don’t need a huge budget to accomplish your dream of starting a podcast. Also, creating a podcast is not rocket science; you can learn how to make one through simple online research. You don’t need fancy recording and editing equipment; you will need to start with a USB microphone and a laptop. With podcasts, you can accommodate different types of listeners. People have different needs when it comes to learning. If your goal is for your content to appeal to different types of learners, then using a podcast is your best bet. Bottom Line! If your dream is to teach different generations about cultural diversity and the history of different Scottish clans, podcasting is one of the best ways to accomplish this. Podcasts are easy to make and quite effective for taking in information....
    • How to Organise a Successful Clan Event
      How to Organise a Successful Clan EventEvents and Projects / Scottish clansOrganising a successful event is no mean feat. Whether it is your first time or not, things don’t always turn out as you intend. What matters is having an open mind and reviewing your plans every once in a while, to get rid of what might not work and focusing on what will make your event successful. As you may already have discovered, this blog is dedicated to giving you valuable tips on organising successful events and projects for your clan. Here are key points to keep in mind right from the beginning. What’s Your Purpose? You might think it’s pretty obvious what the event’s purpose is, but always have it written down somewhere and share the information with everyone involved in the planning process. Be specific with what you want to achieve as much as you can. Define your goals right from the start and share them with the people who matter in the project. This way, everyone will pull their weight in working towards achieving the goals. Draft a Working Budget List down your tasks and needs, then estimate the amount of money required to accomplish each of them. Remember that events might have unforeseeable situations that may require you to spend more than you had budgeted for. Always reserve some cash in your budget for such moments. For example, you might plan for an open-air event, and then it rains on that day. You might also be required to change the venue or make a few adjustments which will need more money. The Devil is Always in the Detail Don’t make any assumptions, and always pay attention to every little detail during the planning process. Events are about experiences; offer your guests something to ponder on during and after the event. Think of exciting activities the guests can participate in, for instance, during the registration process. Finally, have a clear picture of how you want the event to turn out. Final Word Never be afraid to change plans and always be open-minded; events come with many good and bad surprises. Always focus on what you want to achieve and work towards hitting the finish line with a positive mind....
