Podcasting

Tonight I went on to ITUNES to download some music to put on my IPOD. While I was there I started viewing podcasts. I was amazed. I am a video teacher and I was thinking...what am I missing..why aren't my students creating one of these. I always thought for some reason that you had to have an IPOD to create a podcast. I did not realize that you could create a video or audio...in almost any video program or window media player etc. and post your podcast to itunes. At that point it becomes available for people to download. And some people choose to download podcasts to their IPODs. A podcast is just a video or audio file created and posted on Itunes to share you information to the world. You can also share info via video through YouTube another internet based program. I am excited to try to make a podcast or youtube clip for a project in one of my classes this year.
