WHAT’S A PODCAST?
• Simply an audio or video (radio/TV) presentation that airs over the Internet and is easily accessible.
• It often involves multi-tracks.

WHY IS IT USEFUL FOR EDUCATORS?
• Administrators can “get the word out”on school events and present the school’s vision.
• Teachers can involve students and provide a very solid project tool that can be shared with the school and outside community.
• It can become, essentially, your radio station.
• REMEMBER: Start simple!
