When I first saw what the topic for this week's assignment was I was not to sure what Podcasting was. I knew it had to do something along the lines of broadcasting. When I found a website that fit perfect for this topic I realized what podcasting was. Podcasting is a way to post and distribute electronic media files online. It is an easy way to get engaging multimedia content out to a dispersed group of peole. People can listen to the podcast whenever and wherever they want. Podcasting is easy to make and easy to access. Podcasting can be posts such as radio broadcasting, episodes of a television series, entries in a personal journal, etc. You might think that podcasting sounds expensive but it is not at all. There is amateur and professional podcasts too, so you do not have to be a genius at podcasting to cast something. You can download everything from news to food, politics to education, or personal journals to sports. When you download something it does it automatically, there is no waiting around time. You can listen to podcasts with a desktop computer, laptop computer, MP3 players, palm and windows mobile handheld, and even cell phones. How is this week's topic of podcasting rel event to education? Podcasting addresses different learning styles, it is highly mobile, and it delivers content just in time. Some examples are as follows, a teacher can use their cell phone to create a podcast with daily homework assignments and other classroom information.Parents can download information as well so they can keep up with their child's homework assignments. The school board can podcast their meetings and other events to increase community involvement. A class can take a virtual field trip somewhere, which is called a sound seeing tour podcast.
All you need to have to get started to create your pod cast is a microphone, recording and editing software, music clip library (optional), and a way to publish it when you're all done.
