2 Types of PodCasting: (1) audio only-MP3, (2) audio/video-MP4. Either one of these formats can be downloaded to a computer for individual or whole classroom use OR downloaded to an iPod for individual use.
To create an audio podcast all you need is a computer, microphone, and Audacity (free download) software to edit and save your file. Lame 3.96.1 encodes your audio so it can be used on the PodCasting Server.
To create a video PodCast all you need is a video source (digital video camera or document camera or Apple Laptop). Once you have created your video, you may want to edit it using a variety of editing software (Movie Maker, Adobe Premier, Photostory or iMovie). Once you have a great product (video lesson) you will need to upload it to the PodCasting Server. These steps are detailed here--QuickStart Manual
