I have learned a lot of information about pod cast that I had no clue of. Podcast are shows that are recorded and can be listened to for your enjoyment. You can even go online and listen to shows that have been missed. A majority of the podcast are free and some must be paid for. You do not need a broadcaster or anything to create your own pod cast. All you need is a camcorder computer and a web connection. There are plenty of sites that let you upload them to subscribers for free. Once there online you can listen to them on a computer or even down load them onto an iPod or MP3 player so you can listen to them anywhere. I would use this in my classroom for teaching lessons and putting them online for students to maybe go back and review what was taught. You also can make podcast to show your parents what and how you are teaching your students.
Podcast or similar to web 2.0 applications based on individuals being able to listen to your podcast online just like you can show any of the 2.0 applications to anyone online. Just like voice thread you can view sound to your audience and also have a place where you can get feedback or comments from others. With bookmarking you can place your favorite web URLS in groups in which you want to categorize them. With podcast you can also save them and move them about your page as needed. You also can view any of these applications including the podcast on any computer. You do not have to be on one computer to see any of them but in difference you may be only allowed to download certain podcast on one computer. The difference between the pod cast and the 2.0 applications is you can put the podcast on mp3 and iPods and you can’t do that with any of the other applications.
I am IPod owner and I absolutely love it! I carry it every day with me and listen to music that I have downloaded on it. I also have it to where I can receive videos and podcast. I have never used podcasting because I never knew what it was and I thought it might have been very expensive to use. Now that I know what podcasting is, I will be working on recording lesson for my classroom. Students will be able to down load them for free and go back over information they may not have understood or maybe need a little more help on. That way they can carry school along with them and watch some of the lesson they have learned and review. This is also a way for parents to listen to what their children are learning while in class and also how much it will help when their children need help. They may can listen and learn from the podcast and also be able to help their children with their lessons.

Your right when your talking about the differences. My first point was about how we can dowload stuff on mp3 players and take it with us. But, I think a big difference is also that Web 2.0 seems to be more community based. Where groups of people are free to share and use things. Podcasts are more direct to the student.

I am with you.. before this weeks assignment I didn't really know exactly what podcasting was! I also agree it would be a great idea to record your lessons and provide them for your students to study for test with and things like that.

I’ve know what podcasting is for quite a while, but I’ve never really been interested in using it on a daily basis. I too would like to use podcasting in my class to help my students with demonstrations and even send them home with individualized lessons or verbal reviews structured for the whole class. It is amazing how you can transport something so small and have such large benefits. I’m glad you’ve learned what podcasting is and how to use it and I’m sure that you will enjoy using it in your class.
