//A podcast is a series of audio files, usually in MP3 format and organized into episodes that can be easily retrieved and played on an iPod or MP3 player. The podcast (above) that I created is an example of something that can be integrated into and used within the classroom.// //Podcasts can be used to record lectures that students can listen to at home to supplement in class discussions or in case they are absent. Podcasts can also be used to review homework instructions or to verbally help edit and review compositions. There really is no limit to what you can do with podcasting.// //I think that podcasting is fabulous way of conveying intructions and thoughts outside of the classroom. I would warn against relying on podcasting as a means of communication because we do not want to completely lose touch with our students and we don't want our students to rely on podcasting and not come to class. That being said, I think that podcasting can be easily integrated into the curriculum and it is nice be able to convey information verballly and introduce music and sound effects as well. Personally, I will definitely use podcasting for reasons mentioned above.//
