Introduction to Podcasting

Podcasting is a good tool to teach your students new material. Once the podcast is created, students can download it to their iPod or other such device (that they already listen to anyway) and listen to it whenever they wish. They do not have to sit at home or school to have access to their assignments. They can listen to the podcast on their way to or from school or their friends' homes.

To get an idea of what podcasting is, view the following video: Podcasting in Plain English. I would suggest you right click the link and select "Open in new window" so you don't have to lose your current screen.

Please continue to tune in to get more tips and instructions on creating and using podcasts in your classroom. You can also view the podcasts listed under "Podcast Resources & Examples" in the column to your right. Once again, right click the link and select "Open in new window" if you want to maintain the current page and avoid having to press the back arrow several times to get to this page.
