The purpose of this blog is to provide teachers with information, resources, links, examples and how-to hints on using podcasts in the classroom. Podcasts are emerging as powerful tools that can be used either as a teaching resource or as an alternate way for students to communicate their learning.

First, record audio and store on a computer as a sound file. Then convert the sound file to an MP3 file, which makes it smaller and thus faster to download. Finally, edit it before posting it on the internet.
