Podcasting is a way for educators and students have on-the-go access to audio ranging from curriculum-related content to professional development materials via the Internet. This audio content can then be automatically downloaded to a computer or mobile device, like iPod.

Think of it as a radio show that you can listen to whenever and wherever you want - only it’s much more than that.

Podcasting uses RSS (Really Simple Syndication) to deliver the content, providing a summary for new content on a website.

Taking Podcasting to School

Imagine a science instructor posting daily assignments and recorded lectures from classes to a website that provides an RSS feed. Students can subscribe to the feed from home and have their class assignments and content sync with their iPods, taking them wherever they go.
