Understanding Podcasting: A New Era in Digital Media for Education

Podcasting is a series of digital media files distributed over the internet for playback on devices. Originating from "iPod" and "broadcast," podcasts offer audio or visual content, typically shorter than 8 minutes. Unlike TV, they provide deeper content, supporting diverse learning in classrooms. For instance, electrical trades students can access notes via podcasts while working, and math instruction diversifies through varied sources. The ease of use and accessibility of podcasts engages students, enabling multitasking and effective information retention.
