PODCASTING

===A podcast is a series of audio files, usually in MP3 format and organized into episodes that can be easily retrieved and played on an iPod or MP3 player. Episodes can be downloaded automatically for the end user’s convenience through a feed aggregator or subscription service such as iTunes. While podcasting is to iPods what broadcasting is to radio, the Internet allows users to capture the latest episodes and listen to them at any time on their own computer or MP3 player. The model of publish-and-subscribe is similar to that found with magazines. Podcasts are also relatively easy to create and publish with free or inexpensive software and equipment. Audio podcasts can be connected to video files such as PowerPoint slides or movies as well. The “vodcasts” can also be distributed and captured easily through the Internet.===

===I will use this in my class but it will not be of my voice. Audio files of others will show to be a great tool for the audio students and may give them a sense of what kind of person we will be talking about that day.===

The main focus for my podcast is the importance of extra curricular activities for high school kids. Such as, sports, clubs, band, or anything that brings all students into a group. I strongly believe that when students are involved with more than just school they are less likely to be bullied. ====
