A Bit About Podcasting
Podcasting can be a fun activity for students to explore new ways of interaction and communication around the topics you are covering in class. In most cases, all you need to produce a podcast is a smart phone, a computer or a tablet. There are many free editing softwares available to you via downloads or free subscriptions. Most video softwares can also edit podcasts by editing and exporting "audio only" files such as MP3 or WAV.
