Podcasting

• Pod-casting is a short audio description or introduction via the internet.
• It is a great tool for teacher as they can prepare their students for what is coming up as well and keep parents informed as to what their child is learning.  When parents are aware, they are more likely and more able to help at home.  
• Students can use pod-casting in the classroom through projects.  A great way for students to inform their teacher or their peers about what the topic of a certain project will be is through pod-casting.
• Pod-casting adds a lot of advantages to a wealthier school where the majority of the students have a computer at home, but for a more impoverished district pod-casts could potentially be more of a burden than a benefit.  
• Embedded to this blog post is an example of the potential of pod-casting.  In it I summarize an episode of Teen-Babble Podcast called "Are you Independent."
