A podcast is a software and hardware combination that permits automatic downloading of audio files for our convenience. It must be downloaded and a podcatcher retrieves files in the RSS feed and adds files to each users media player or device. This can be beneficial to teachers through augmentation, material for presentations, a communication device and for our own professional development. It is being used today by people of all ages. Fifth graders are using it to tell other what they learned in class. Others are using it to post articles and some schools are using the podcasting to tell about things that are going on in their districts.
I like to listen to CNN news so I found a podcast that CNN has that informs others about the latest updated news. The URL to check this out is www.cnn.com/services/podcasting/index.topic.html. CNN podcastings also include podcasting from some of my other favorites Larry King, Anderson Cooper and Nancy Grace. I find this a great way to catch up on the latest information.
