Podcasts

A podcast is a software that allows the automatic downloading of audio and video files for listening and viewing. Programs such as Itunes will automaticaly subscribe to new material that you have selected and have it waiting for you to veiw when you get back on. Teachers can use podcasting in the following ways: curriculum, professional development, presenting material, and communicating with parents and the community.One of the main uses for podcasting is downloading material to be put on MP3 players such as Ipods. The only podcasting that I have really done is putting music on my Ipod from itunes, but it can be a great tool for students and teachers to get information to each other via the internet.
