Making Podcasts
Tuesday, November 15th - 5PM Eastern Time
In this session
Giving students the opportunity to create a podcast gives teachers a chance to learn from their students. When teachers create podcasts it gives them 24/7 access to their students ears. In this webinar we'll discuss how to make podcasts using FREE web-based resources, what sites will host your podcasts for free, and how to download the podcasts onto iPods or MP3 players.
