Podcasting Myth #1 “I need an iPod to podcast”
Myth #2 “Podcasting is a revolutionary new idea.”
Podcasting Possibilities Teacher Podcast • Creative way to present material • Recurring updates for students and parents Student Podcast • Distribute book reports beyond the room • Create a Show • Point of View Podcast
Podcasting Potholes • “Let’s just make this a podcast” • No easy way to scan for content • Good info + bad presentation = boring • “Why’d it take me 4 hours for a ten minute show?”
Examples • San Diego EDTEC • Mr. Mayo • Connect Learning • iTunes • ODEO - odeo.com Directories
Podcasting is a mix of.. Radio + Take-Out + Tivo + Blogging
2 parts of a Podcast Audio file + RSS feed
(.mp3 + RSS) = Podcast • RSS shows changes to a webpage. • Not viewable in most web browsers. • Software helps you subscribe to an RSS feed. • Newsreaders • Podcatchers
My advice • The Pancake Rule • The first minute is the hardest. • Music and Effects? • Is it a single message or a series? Many topics, or in depth look at one? • 1 host, co-hosts, panel discussion? • Length of the show? • How long until the next one? Questions as you plan
To start making shows • Hardware: A microphone, computer, & webspace • Software: Use Audacity (Windows) or Garage Band 3 (Mac) • Geek Wizardry: Set up a free account at ODEO.com • They make your RSS feed and give you badges to play the files on your site
