This week in class we learned all about podcasting and how it can be used. Podcasts are audio files that are recorded and can be downloaded onto an MP3 player or played on a computer. Many podcasts are recorded as a series and can be automatically downloaded to your computer. There are podcasts about all different sorts of materials, from TV shows to music to news. You can find a podcasts about almost any special interest, even a podcast that gives you new workout music every week!
Podcasts are a great resource in my field. They can be used to relate to students by giving them new weekly updates with interesting facts, for example. I could also use podcasts to communicate with parents and keep them up to speed with what is going on with their children. There are so many uses for podcasting! School administrators could use podcasting to alert staff members of weekly changes instead of having many meetings.
The resource I found for this post is this video that shows how to create a podcast. It is extremely helpful and gives a basic overview of how to do it on your computer. Since many people are not accustomed to creating podcasts, this can help very much for any new beginners.
