A Podcast is an audio or a video file delivered to a computer over the internet. Podcasting is a new emerging technology that is a web-based audio broadcast, known as the RSS news feed. We have messed with audio and videos on the internet for a long time, but the difference for podcasting is the way audio file is delivered to your computer. Podcasting is a mechanism for anyone to subscribe on the web but it’s all for free. Podcasting is a pre-recording that stays in your computer so you can listen to it as many times as you want. Podcasting today is popular because its distribution over the internet is efficient. Podcasting has allowed almost anyone to make a show about any good idea or talent that they are passionate about and they can share it worldwide.
Podcasts can catalog various podcast directories such as I Tunes to save on your computer. Podcasts are very user friendly for students and teachers. Teachers can download and save educational episodes and use them over and over again. Teachers can have students either listen or watch these episodes anywhere. Podcasts are available on sets of laptops, iPods, or any other devices. Podcast episodes can be downloaded on these devices directly at their desks, in the library, on fieldtrips, or at home. It’s Portable! You can travel anywhere and it would still be available to listen or watch.
Podcasting is a useful because there are multiple opportunities when teachers can integrate it in their classroom. Teachers can publish their daily lesson plans that students can receive at home and listen to as a daily reminder or if a student is absent and needs access to assignments and announcements. Some teachers doing a specific subject, such as “Social Studies, could have their students do oral histories or interviews or even have them do a reenactment of historical events. Science Teachers can have students narrate labs, dissections, or experiments to record their processes. Podcasts can be used by Music Teachers so they could record recitals or special events.” () This technology is a cross-curricular experience that is an accessible resource for students, families, and teachers.
Students can now record creative talents or ideas right on a podcast and share it worldwide to anyone on the web. This simple method to a podcast provides anyone to receive any episodes and it can provide anyone with some new information about a concept or topic and it might help another understand it.
I learned to use podcasting by looking up several YouTube Videos to get a clear idea of what podcasting was and how I as a teacher could use this software in the classroom. I found it helpful to first get the general idea of what a podcast was and how it worked. It is available to all users and anyone that has internet can subscribe and receive these shows. I discovered that if students are still struggling with a concept, I can use a visual presentation to make it relative to them. In my podcast I can use a talent or idea that is a clear picture for a student to connect and understand any concept. I also learned that I can subscribe episodes for free and saved it on iTunes. The best part is that I don’t have to spend any money or I don’t have to return these podcasts to the library or buy them online.
