Podcasting

Podcasting Resources:
"A podcast is a method of distributing multimedia files, usually (but not limited to) audio in the MP3 format, over the Internet to subscribers. Anybody can be a subscriber — all you need is the proper software to receive the subscription, just like you need a mailbox to receive your magazine subscriptions." >>Branzburg, Jeffrey.

 * [|Podcasting and All That Jazz] blog by Julie Lindsay at International School Dhaka (read the [|Three P's of Podcasting]): "The purpose of this blog is to provide a forum for discussion and review of podcasting in education. It is a vehicle to explore podcasting as it releates to education and to share these discoveries. I welcome your comments and contributions as well."
 * [|Create Podcasts] by Tony Vincent: "Creating podcasts has many educational benefits. Students are able to create a product to share with a potentially world-wide audience! The process of putting together an audio recording is extremely valuable and is certainly a cross-curricular experience. I've divided up the process into four parts: preproduction, recording, postproduction, and publishing."

Podcasting Ideas: [|20 Ideas: Podcasting your lessons/revision materials] from [|Teaching Mr. Belshaw] in the UK "Podcasting is basically delivering an audio file via an RSS (web) feed. The producer of the content posts it to a website whereupon ’subscribers’ to the podcast are notified that there is a new program available. In many podcast-enabled programs (including iTunes) these audio files can be set to be downloaded and synchronised with a mobile device automatically. This makes podcasts a perfect format for educators. But audio files are not the only types of files that can be delivered via an RSS feed, as I hope to explore below…"

[|Where in the World] from [|KidCast] "This podcast is a global podcasting geography quiz that is being collectively produced by students all over the world. Students and classes from all over are recording podcast episodes that describe their communities **without** giving away its name or exact location. Listeners can use geography and deduction skills to use the clues and discover the exact location. An email is given at the end of every posting, so you can email them with your guess. If you guess correctly, you'll get a postcard back from the producers!"

[|Our City Podcast] //Our City Podcast// is an audio program **for kids and by kids.** Students from around the globe are invited to submit a recording all about the city they live in (with the help of their teachers or parents).
