Technology in the classroom

Apple's Podcasting in Education

K-12 teachers wanting to know how podcasting will enhance the learning environment should first take a look at Apple's Podcasting in Education site. The main page gives a quick and easy overview of podcasting in the classroom, and provides the steps for podcasting. A Sample Podcast section offers links to podcasts produced by real teachers and students. Note that you will need iTunes on your computer (a free download for PC or Mac and available via a link from the Apple site) to listen to these podcasts. Also, two free PDF guides -- Podcast Backbone and Podcast Creation -- provide detailed instructions on how to create or support (for the tech staff) a podcast. These guides do assume that you have Mac-specific software and hardware, but the remainder of the resources here are cross-platform, so be sure to dig around!
