Podcasting (audio files), Enhanced Podcasting (adding still images) and Vodcasting (video files) are all emerging technologies that are being used more and more in an educational setting.
Podcasting
Podcasting, or placing an audio file online, is a great way for students and teachers to share information and classroom activities with the world outside of the classroom. It allows us to learn from each other and gives us another avenue of communication with parents and the community.
In this podcasting class, participants will learn about the educational uses of podcasts, will listen to examples of some created locally and around the U.S., and will have the opportunity to create a short podcast of their own. The tools are very simple to use and participants will be up and running in no time.Participants will also be shown how to upload podcasts to websites, wikis, and blogs.
