Podcasting+with+Macs

===A podcast is a free video or audio series — like a TV or radio show — that you download from iTunes and play on your computer, iPod, iPhone, or Apple TV. Like the term //broadcast //, //podcast// can refer either to the content itself or to the method by which the content is syndicated; the latter is also called **podcasting**. A //podcaster// is the person who creates the content. The term podcast usually refers to an audio file (or audio with pictures), whereas the term vodcast simply means that actual video is incorporated. There are 2 basic ways to include podcasts/vodcasts in your classroom. One would be to access or subscribe to podcasts/vodcasts that have been created by others. Apple's iTunes Store is the most popular podcast content provider in the world. The other way would be to create the podcast/vodcast yourself (or by your students). GarageBand (for Macs) and Audacity (for PC's) are 2 of the most used applications in education today.===

===Podcasting (or vodcasting) is accomplished on a Mac platform by utilizing the iLife suite. The iLife suite consists of Garage Band, iPhoto, iweb, iMovie, and iDVD. Although iTunes will be used, it is actually a seperate application that can be downloaded free at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/. For a better understand of how to use any of the iLife applications please see the Apple Tutorials at http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials.===
