What is Podcasting? The process of capturing an audio or video event, song, speech, video or mix of these media and then posting that digital object to a Web site Using specialized podcast receiver/aggregator (software) like Juice, iTunes, users can subscribe to a Web page with audio or video files (*.mp3 or *.mp4) and automatically download these files directly to the computer. When a user synchronizes their portable device with their computers the podcasts are automatically transferred to that device (MP3 or MP4)

Pedagogical Implications Audio recordings of textbook or lectures would allow students to review texts or class lectures while travelling Students could record and post project audio and video interviews or discussions which could be automatically downloaded to teachers’ MP3 player or PMA for review, especially for language lessons Oral/video reports recorded challenge the “chalk & talk” model of teaching ? Do we need to keep students in class? Can all our students afford to own a MP3 or MP4 device (compare to PDA or notebook computers) … many others with your creativity
