Podcasting: the New Educational Technology Tool


Podcasting is a new educational technology tool. Although it started as easrly as 2004, I got seriously involved in it until January 2007 when one of my colleagues introducing the tool in his class.


I see the great potential of the tool in education, and believe it can be a very effective tool in enhancing teaching and learning if an educator knows how to integrate the technology efficiently. Therefore, I decided to teach a a class with such technology. I chose the class EDUI6315, Current Technologies, because the title and theme of the courses match the topic of podcast quite well. To teach the course in Spring 2007, I created an audio podcasting file to introduce podcast technology first.
