PODCASTING
What it is?
Podcasting is a series of digital media files that can be either video or audio. These series of digital media files can be downloaded through the internet or web.
What it does?
A Podcast allows you to download somthing such as a radio show or something of the sorts. Someone who makes a podcast is called a podcaster. The podcaster usually updayes their podcast with episodes that you can download one by one or you can subscribe to someone's podcast.
How is it Useful?
A podcast can be useful in many ways. I have used a podcast in some of my lecture classes. The teacher can record the whole lecture and post in online in oncourse. You can then download the lecture to your IPOD or computer and listen to it and take more thorough notes. I would listen to the lecture again on my way to school so the information would be fresh in my mind for the upcoming lecture.

podcasting has become very helpful in the education world.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of links and resources. You have created a very informative blog about podcasting!
ReplyDeleteYou really broke down the info for the reader. I agree that it is easier when a professor podcasts a lecture and posts it. It lets you listen to it on your own time and you can get more out of what they are saying because you can listen to it as many times as you need to.
ReplyDeleteThe way you broke down the information and described it, I would never have guessed you wanted to be a teacher haha. Very educational and great use of links and resources.
