Podcasting- No iPod Necessary!

Have you caught podcasting fever yet? Podcasting involves creating sound files that can be saved, sent, and published to a website or blog. Students and parents can listen to the podcasts through their computers or even save the files to listen on an MP3 player, iPod, or other listening device. A few classroom ideas for podcasts include weekly spelling lists, class notes, readings from text books or other literature-kids can listen at their own pace and replay as often as needed. Because podcasts are simply sound files, not images, teachers can have students create recordings to be published to the web safely-no pictures or names of students need to be included.
