Classroom 2.0 Conference - Pocasting

What is Podcasting?
Think of a podcast as a cross between a blog and a radio show

• regularly posted
• published in reverse chronological order
• focus on a particular topic or subject
• listen to on a computer, CD, ipod, mp3 player

How it works...
A podcaster (the person creating it) publishes content to a server and creates an RSS feed to that server. The listener subscribes to that RSS feed. The most popular way to do that is through iTunes.

Caution

• Don't say anything derogatory towards the community, the district, people
• Monitor content
• Listen to the full podcast before publishing
• Whatever you put out there will stay out there for a long time.

Where can you store your podcasts?

• On your school's or district's server - then ask someone who knows how to help you create the RSS feed
• iWeb has a built-in way to help you create the RSS feed.
• You could publish through iTunes U K-12
• The Internet Archive
• Anyone can post their podcasts to iTunes
• In Canyons district we are creating an easy district-wide place to publish and create your feed.
• You could also post things to YouTube and people can subscribe to you on YouTube
