April HillandContains a great graphic organizer around how podcasting can be used in a school.

As reported in Education Week (Published: December 7, 2005) here is an excerpt of "How to create a podcast" (see inset to the right)
1: Record sound using a digital audio recorder or an MP3 player with a recording function, such as an iPod, and a microphone. Or, you can skip this step by recording directly onto a computer’s hard drive via the machine's imbedded microphone.
2: Transfer the sound from your recording device to a computer.
3: Edit the sound and add music, voice-overs, or other audio elements using production software such as...open-source software like Audacity.
4: Compress the finished product into an MP3 format.
5: Post the audio on a Web server.It can be a simple as those 5 steps, and I'm sure in the near future it will be made much simpler.
Some of the physical things, or "Hardware" you will need are:
1) A computer with an internet connection and a large enough hard drive to hold your podcasts hard drive. Most computers come with a sizable hard drive, but if you're using older equipment you may want to get a larger hard drive (over 20 gig at least). If you want to keep things portable and simple, many laptops also have microphones built in. Keep in mind a 20min podcast can take up about 18megs of information. -
2) A microphone. Like I said many laptops come with built in microphones, but the sound quality is low. As the authors of "Podcast Solutions: a complete guide to podcasting" suggest, "Many would argue- and rightfully so- that the microphone is the single most important piece of equipment piece of hardware...". If you want your podcast to sound REALLY good you can spend a REALLY large amount of money (some are as expensive as $4000!!). Your best bet is to purchase a USB microphone for around CDN$50 and under. A suggested microphone by the authors of "Podcasting Solutions: a complete guide to podcasting" is the Audio-Technica AT2020 Microphone cost: CDN$125. But consider that you'll need a mixer to run your high end mic through, like the Alesis Multimix 8 USB sound mixer costing about CDN$215. To avoid use of a mixer think of using the Samson CO1U USB mic, the first affordable studio condenser mic with a USB interface.

is also an option you may want to take if you plan to do allot of recording "in the field", i.e. away from the computer itself, on location interviews, or recordings on field trips. Handheld Digital voice recorders are now out that record voices very well, and convert the voice into files your computer can read (MP3). There are also many MP3 players (including the iPod) that have voice recording options and attachments. All you need to do is to transfer your recordings onto the computer you'll be editing your sound with. The authors of "Podcast Solutions: a complete guide to podcasting" suggest the iRiver line of MP3 player/voice recorder.

Audacity is a piece of sound editing software that is used by many if not most Podcasters. As quoted from the book "KidCast: Podcasting in the Classroom", "What is Audacity? Audacity is a free, easy to use, software-based audio recorder and editor. It is cross-platform so, it does not matter whether you are using Windows, Mac OS X, GNU/Linux,. With Audacity, you will be able to record live audio using your computer's sound input and then do some simple editing to the recording and then export it as an MP3 file so that it can be placed on a web server..." Audacity is available at "ttp://audacity.sourceforge.net/ . I won't go into how to use Audacity here because the site provides an excellent set of tutorials, click here. I found the tutorial by Dan Eliot and Daniel James particularly good and very simple.BUT WAIT! You're not done, once you've got Audacity downloaded and ready to go, you need to down load a feature that lets Audacity make MP3 Files (what is an MP3?). It's called a LAME MP3 Encoder. Here is how to get it and what to do when you get it....Thanks to "KidCast: Podcasting in the Classroom" for some guidance on this.On a Windows Computer to get the LAME MP3 Encoder:1. go to: "ttp://lame.sourceforge.net/index.php2. When you have the LAME on your computer, UNZIP it (decompress it) and save the file "lame_enc.dll" somewhere on your computer. I saved mine in the Audacity file, it doesn't matter, as long as you don't accidentally delete it later.3. When you first use Audacity to "Export as MP3", Audacity will ask you where the lame_enc.dll is saved. S

On a Mac OSX computer to get the LameLib file:1. Go to: spaghetticode.org/lame2. When you have downloaded the file, use the Stuffit Expander to extract the files.3. When you have the LameLib file on your computer save it somewhere on your computer. I saved mine in the Audacity file, it doesn't matter, as long as you don't accidentally delete it later.4. When you first use Audacity to "Export as MP3", Audacity will ask you where the LameLib is saved. So remember where you saved it!

o remember where you saved it!
-
Other than Audacity, if you use a Mac OSX, Dan Schmit of "Kidcast" suggests GarageBand (part of the iLife Suite). As a user of iMovie, the use of GarageBand is not too steep of a learning curve. If you would like an excellent "how-to" on Audacity or GaragBand "KidCast: Podcasting in the Classroom" has tutorials on both of these programs.
