What is a podcast? The word podcast comes from cast as in
broadcast and pod from the famous Apple iPod or think information that is
Personal On Demand. (People automatically began to associate
podcasting with the iPod).
RSS Feed Podcasting is the syndication of audio files
using RSS. The only feed it subscribes to is audio
similar to a feed reader or news aggregator.
Today many websites have a RSS feed on their pages to notify others of daily or hourly updates.
Ex. www.podomatic.com
CNN Podcasting site http://www.cnn.com/services/podcasting/
Why podcast? Podcasts give you the opportunity to host
your own news, speak your mind, or broadcast your music to whoever wants to receive it.
Podcasts specifically with students give them the opportunity to listen to themselves, talk about what's important to them and speak in a language they understand or want to understand.
Misconceptions You do not have to have an iPod to listen
to a podcast. You can listen to podcasts or subscribe to
podcasts on your computer. These podcasts can be automatically sent to your podcatching site or application such as iTunes. Or you can listen to podcasts on anything that plays MP3s. A podcast is an mp3.
Podcasts can be used for: Music Training/Instruction Story Telling News/Information dissemination Self-guided walking tours How-to information Interviews Opinion pieces Book walk
Materials Needed A computer A microphone, digital recorder with USB Audio editing software, such as Audacity Something to talk about or a pre-written
script Optional music Podcast hosting site or ftp site with server
space
