All about the Podcast

Podcast are something that you can do for educational purpose or just for entertainment. There are so many different things that you can do while doing it. There is no one there to tell you what the podcast can or can not be able. It is a subject of your choice. And to make it better it is open to everyone! There is no one telling you who can do it and who can't. All you have to do is have the right tools and the time to do it and your podcast can become famous.

Although most of the podcast that I looked at were not very popular, and if they were it was probably because of a class assignment there is still that chance. Most podcast are free but anyone can decided to charge whatever they want for the podcast to be viewed. One of these days, probably soon, there will be nothing that is free in this world. But for right now there are still many podcast that you can view for free.

On most of the podcast I see that they all have one thing in common, most of them have music playing in the background of the podcast. Most of them also start off with the music as well. There are many different things that you can do in order to make your podcast unique and special. First like we just talked about you can specialize the music to fit the podcast. You can also add in pictures and sounds to it. And of course there is your own voice in the podcast. That's right YOU are the one that gets to do the talking.

Something that Podcast are being use for that I think is great is for educational purposes. Many times when children get home they forget how to do something that they learned in school and possibly that they need to be doing for homework. When this is the case, if the teacher does this, the student can get online and the teacher can have podcast up reminding the students of how the problem works. Also podcast can be made by other teachers for other teachers. I think this is a great way for teachers to share their ideas and technology. Oh where the future will bring us...
