What is Podcasting?

Podcasting is a way to automatically download and synchronize digital audio files (online radio shows) from the Internet to iPods, Palm OS handhelds, Pocket PCs, or other devices that play digital audio files. These audio files are usually in MP3 format and can be recorded and distributed by anyone.

Podcasts can be created and published with free software available on the Internet.

Podcasting does not require an MP3 player!

Teachers see iPods as Educational Tool

Using little more than an iPod and a school computer, Gagliolo and her students have been making podcasts — online radio shows that can be downloaded to an iPod or other portable MP3 player. Avidly discussing their favorite iPod colors and models while they made recordings of their poems and book reports the other day, the fifth-graders bubbled with ideas for future subjects.

Tell Me a Story

"Among the hottest trends going, podcasting lets users download audio files from the Web, store them on digital music devices, and play them at one’s leisure. Commercial outfits and chatty bloggers alike are podcasting, and so are progressive educators, like Chauncey, who are beginning to adopt the communication tool to captivate their students.”

Professor in Your Pocket

Now course casting lets college students…download lectures onto their iPods. The general media has recognized that Podcasting is taking off in education. According to many, podcasting will be around for a very long time, as part of a new trend in the internet, where the user is in control of and creator of its content. Educators can bring their students into this new wave in technology very simply with very little added software/hardware that your average school already has.
