Podcasts

I feel that a podcast creates a more interesting way of learning and teaching. Different formats, like audio only, enhanced formatted podcasts, and a video podcasts feed into all students' learning styles. Whether it be the teachers lesson, or a student's project, you can record your own audio and post it on whatever footage you want to relate to it.
I agree with the Kidcast that this could really boost student's confidence, because instead of standing in front of the class on the spot, you can present something that you have already perfected. KUDOS!
A podcast is your creation, a high quality recorded audio file. It can be listened to anywhere like right from a web page (like My Yahoo) or from your computer using iTunes or other software, or from your iPod.
"Researchers at The Diffusion Group predicted this week that the U.S. podcast audience will climb from 840,000 last year to 56 million by 2010. By that time, three-quarters of all people who own portable digital music players will listen to podcasts, up from less than 15 percent last year, the digital entertainment research group said," Gilbert reports. What a very nice, new form, of digital entertainment!
