371.33 Podcasts as Projects: Looks Easy

Diane Chen, blogger at School Library Journal posted what looks like simple step-by-step directions for creating podcasts in the classroom...without spending money! She also included some sample student projects.
Her basic steps include:

• Establishing a free gcast.com account with a pin number.
• Using a telephone to dial in and enter the pin.
• Recording the podcast, pressing #, and publishing the podcast to the web (an option).
• Logging on to the computer with the password and listening to their podcasts.
• Exporting the podcasts as MP3 files.
• Sharing the URL or the MP3 file with others.

Diane has included questions for both the teacher and students to consider in planning and creating their projects.

Looks easy! Looks fun!
