  1. The History of Podcasting By Laura Griffin

  2. Pre-WWW • Radio Computing Services (RCS) began offering both music and discussions in digital format to radio stations. • Audio and video files were distributed in digital format using Multicast Network

  3. 1990s • Some online jukeboxes and websites offered music cataloging services as well as audio file sorting and selection services. • Carl Malamud started “Internet Talk Radio” which allowed users to download audio files “one by one.” • Some website provided subscription services for their audio files.

  4. …and then came napster • Napster allowed users to download audio files without paying subscription fees. These files were downloaded to the Personal Jukebox and later as MP3s. • i2Go was the first to allow downloading and storage of files to PCs and individual portable devices in 2000. • Dave Winer who helped author the RSS format was asked to help those who wanted to “audioblog.”

  5. The ipod changed it all • In 2003 Winer and friends demonstrated a way to script RSS enclosures so they could be passed to iTunes and to an iPod. • The term “podcasting” became one of a few for listening to audioblogs. • As of September 2004 there were 24 results for hits on Google for the word “podcast.” By October 1,2004, there were 2,750. That number doubled every few days and by October 18, 2004 it surpassed 100,000.

  6. It sure has grown! • 2005 – “Podcast” is named the word of the year by the New American Oxford Dictionary. • 2006 – Lance Anderson is the first to create a live tour based on a podcast. • 2006 - Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper issued a podcast and became the first major world leader to do so. • 2006 - The Guardian newspaper’s website makes it into the Guinness Book of World Records by averaging 295,000 listeners per podcast.

  7. Uses in education • Podcasting allows teachers to record their lectures and lessons and have them heard by distance learning students. • Teachers can allow students to hear lectures and lessons from other adults. • Students can create podcasts to showcase their learning. • Podcasts are a great way for students to begin to learn about journalism and how to conduct a good interview.

  8. resources • Go to iTunes and look up “Morrison Academy.” This K-8 school has begun its own weekly “Sharkcast” in their tech class. They review books, do skits, and interview teachers and other students. A great example of how to make podcasts work! • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_podcasting • http://www.how-to-podcast-tutorial.com/history-of-podcasting.htm • http://www.podcastblaster.com/history-of-podcasting.html
