Beginners
Guide to Using Podcasts in Language Lessons
Podcasting
This is another fabulous way of getting the students interacting
in their chosen language and is more accessible than blogging
as students do not need to have good written skills to feel
confident to take part. It can, of course, be combined with
a blog and is a great way for rehearsing and redrafting work
in class. Great podcasts can then be listened to again and again
and can become an effective tool for revision, especially if
they are posted to a class or school blog.

key factors.
The growth and rapid adoption of smart phones. You can now get
your podcast direct to your phone without having to hook up
your iPod to the computer.
The explosive growth of an online media portal where you can
publish and download your podcasts…. called iTunes

Is
This How You Really Talk?
New research shows the sound of a persons voice strongly
influences how he or she is seen. The sound of a speakers voice
matters twice as much as the content of the message, according

Podcasting Tips for Great Sound
What defines a good podcast? Make no mistake -- there is
a difference between a good podcast and a not-so-good podcast.
A high-caliber podcast is much more than just decent content.
The sound quality, and the way a podcast is recorded, will impact
the value of the podcast as well. Podcast structure and pre-planning
are also important; do not skimp on the production, as it too
can make or break a podcast.
Podcast production takes effort, but anything worth doing is
worth doing right. Use these tips to help produce a quality
podcast that will be distinguished above other related podcasts...

Ideas
You should not have to look far to find content or new ideas
for your podcast show. Look to your daily sources to find fodder
and ideas for new podcasting segments.
1. News
Both online and offline sources, from the Associated Press to
CNN, contain a deluge of news item each day. Scan headlines
on a regular basis to see what catches your eye. In addition,
explore your niche market to find any industry-specific news
portals that may warrant monitoring.

Trolls and Pastors
There are few things more frustrating than having someone
steal your idea, right? And yet, what if your idea is something
so broad and obvious that it is almost insane for you to have
even claimed to be the sole originator of the idea?
These are, essentially, the two-sides of the coin in an ongoing
patent battle between Personal Audio, Inc. and some of the larger
names in podcasting i.e. Adam Carolla and Marc Maron, among
others.

Tips
for Educational Podcasters
Podcasting is an intelligent and a creative method to encourage
learning and inspire students to take active part in curricular
activities or group assignments. However, when it comes to using
technology in any form, safety assumes center stage. This gets
heightened especially when vulnerable children are involved.
Educational podcasts are a form of accessing internet content
and must therefore be regulated appropriately to avoid any safety
issues.
