Podcasting is a way to post and distribute electronic media files online
A podcast is generally a regularly-produced series of these posts, similar to a series of radio broadcasts, episodes in a television series, or entries in a personal journal
You can download podcasts about everything from news to food, politics to education, personal logs to sports, music to technology, and more.
Podcasts can be downloaded to you automatically as soon as they are available with no special action on your part.
So how is podcasting relevant to education? It is a powerful publishing platform that addresses different learning styles, is highly mobile, and can deliver content “just in time.”
A new development in this technology is the ability to podcast video — imagine students being able to download instructional videos or short “talking chalkboard” tutorials.
