Podcasting

A podcast is a series of audio or video digital-media files which is distributed over the Internet by syndicated download, through Web feeds, to portable media players and personal computers.

The method of podcasting is actually very simple. First, a podcaster (i.e. a podcast publisher) would create an audio content, usually in mp3 or mp4 format, and then have it uploaded to a server. The podcast is then published as a news feed in either RSS, XML or Atom format. The audience may then subscribe to a particular podcast they like using a news-feed aggregator, which in turn updates them whenever new episodes are released. The subscribers may then listen to or watch the podcast at their own convenience.

Teachers can use podcasting to give students access to different learning experiences outside of the classroom, inside the classroom. They can connect to various museums and archives so that students can interact with professionals and ask them questions about the particular subject.

Podcasting is being used to share information, meetings, and education.

I think that podcasting is wonderful because it gives students both students and teachers access to many different environments without the complications of field trips and other out of classroom activities. It also expands the students knowledge and gives them and opportunity to experience how advance technology has become.
