Thing #14: Podcasting


This discovery exercise was the first time I have experienced Podcast.  Podcast allows you to download particular content from the internet which is made available for you to listen to.  The podcast are set up like albums/channels where you may go in and search for content that may be useful to download to listen to or look at.  You are able to view or listen to content without internet once the items are downloaded. As I explored through the application I realized that there were a lot of different things to discover.  The podcasts range from informational, to inspirational, to lessons, and etc.   In the Texas education search I found the channel "Technology and Education Today" which seems very useful to explore.  This channel has information on using technology for education.  Though the information is not up to date it does proceed to the year of 2012 and stills seems very resourceful.  Some of the videos are very long, luckily you are able to keep track of the time and go back later to finish.  There is no set time you have to be finished with listening/viewing content and you may continue to go back and fourth until you finish.  Once you are  finished with the podcast you may either erase it from your drive or mark it as read. You could also create your own podcast and submit it to iTunes.
