Podcasting

I thought that I would share some of my graduate course lessons from Wilkes University entitled - Utilizing Emerging Technologies to Improve Learning, Wilkes University, (Clark, 2010). Please feel free to collaborate and add knowledge to our wiki pages.

Introduction
Podcasts can be considered as Internet radio for the masses, a way to subscribe to audio and video content of your choosing and listen to it whenever you wish. Beyond that, it utilizes the power of Web 2.0 technologies such as RSS feeds to make this process simple. Podcasts are available in museums to take audio tours, as a supplement to radio and television shows as well as giving voice to thousands of ideas and concepts. Podcasts are easy to create and open up a world of possibilities for use in the classroom, allowing students and teachers to become broadcasters to a worldwide audience.

This unit will introduce you to the concept of podcasts, their use in education and how to create a podcast.
