The podcast are pre done audio sessions done by one or more people. Podcasts are not live and can be recorded at any time then able to be replayed when desired. The KidCast podcast says that, “podcast are like TiVo for a radio.” This means that it is pre-recorded and can be accessed at any time of day or night. Podcast can be found everywhere on the internet and can be downloaded to your computer, IPods, IPhones, or to a separate blank CD so that they can be heard where ever you are go to be.
KidCast talked about when it is appropriate to use podcasting or vodcasting. Vodcasting is a visual images as well as audio. If you used the right program when recording your podcast or vodcast, you can add music to the backgrounds as extra excitement. To me, podcast are just like radio news. You can record anything from current events to books. If you were doing more than one person on the podcast you can always record one person and add others later. It can make scheduling around others easier.
EdTech Talk podcast has useful information about a professional development in the education field. In one of the episodes, it talks about information on state requirements and certification and re-certification for different states. To teachers, it gets more student interaction and makes assignments and learning fun. Podcast can involve slide shows, pictures and movies to elaborate on different topics being discussed and to have a visual guide.
Like discussed in Connect Learning podcast, podcasting is causal and easy to understand. Podcasting is also very informative. For Example, in a classroom environment, podcast can be useful for teachers to communicate with their students. A teacher can record on a podcast about school assignments that were given that day or on previous days for the students who were sick or for the students that were there that day but needed to get refreshed in the assignment. This is also a good way that teachers and parents can communicate to each other. The teachers can keep separate podcast with school information that all parents need to know like school closing. They can also, give information about the classroom, like field trips and parties for the class.

It looks like we watched the same episode of Kidcast. And we got the same impression, Podcasts are more or less just like downloadable radio programs. I didn't know that before this class, and it seems quite interesting.
