Podcasting is the
latest on-demand technology that allows you to download audio
files over the Internet via an automatic "feed". The audio
files can be listened to on a computer or the files can be
loaded to an mp3 player, such as an iPod. This "on the go"
technology allows students to take audio files with them
wherever they go.
Do I need an iPod?
No. An iPod or other mp3 device is not needed to
subscribe to podcasts. The iPod adds portability to your
podcasts. A computer with an internet connection is all that
is needed.
How do I get
started?
Simply download and install the iTunes software onto
your computer. Then subscribe to the podcast following the
instructions within iTunes or provided by your instructor.
After that, check iTunes for the new podcasts of your
subscriptions.
