Using Podcasts #1

Podcast = iPod + broadcast
  • A podcast is an audio and/or video file that is 'broadcast' via the Internet and can be downloaded to a computer or mobile device such as an MP3 player for listening/viewing.
  • The word podcast comes from combining iPod and broadcast, iPod being the brand name for the Apple portable MP3 player
  • Can be set up and used by teachers and/or learners
  • Can be used to connect learners to other communities of learners, for example to a class in another country
  • The ideas and content can be generated and created by learners, either individually or collaboratively
