Podcast

About Podcast:
==A podcast is a type of digital media file that can be used to record audio or video. It is saved as an mp3 file and be synched to an iPod or played from the computer. ==

How Teachers Use This in Education:
==Teachers can record their lectures or important information on a podcast and allow absent students or students who are behind to download and listen to them. They can also use podcasts to let substitutes play if they know they will be absent. They can be beneficial when conferencing or can be used to record student presentations for later grading. ==

How Students Use This in Education:
==Students can record anything that could normally be written in a podcast. For example, personal narratives, research reports, lab reports, etc. Speaking is a different type of communication than writing, so this works on verbal communication. This is especially helpful for students with diverse learning styles because some students have trouble writing or cannot write. These students would still be able to do these assignments using a podcast. ==
