Thank you for your comments! I wanted to hear your thoughts first before I shared with you mine. Here's a short presentation where I talk about various options for how you might consider using Podcasting in your teaching.

Here's the link to my page on Podcasting in case you want to see the examples and resources I've mentioned.

Creating a podcast is not very difficult, as you can create really excellent podcasts using a program like Garageband, and it's not that hard! And Apple has great tutorials to help you. Then, you can upload your podcasts to a Blogger Blog so people can subscribe to it in iTunes or with Google Reader.

However, if you want something easier to just get your feet wet with, try Audioboo.fm. It's as easy as click the button and start talking!

After considering some various options, how do you think you might use podcasting in your classes? Which of these kinds of podcasts (or others that were mentioned by your peers!) do you think would be most helpful for you?

P.S. You probably didn't know, but in Canvas, you can make a module a podcast! So I have actually enabled that option with every module in this class, and if you wanted to, you could subscribe to it and get IPT 286 on your mp3 player! It would come across as text, except when there were video comments embedded. Notice the RSS icon on this page, which you should recognize from the RSS in Plain English video I shared on the previous page.

What did you think about some of these ideas for podcasts? Could you use any of these in your content area to teach specific content? What would be the pros/cons? Do you have any other questions?
