The document discusses using web 2.0 technologies like blogging and podcasting for an English as a foreign language writing class. Specifically, it describes projects where students' blog posts were converted to audio files using text-to-speech and RSS mixing, and compiled into podcasts. This allowed students' writing to be listened to and discussed on iPods and iTunes. The author details various tools and websites used over several years to implement blogcasting and podcasting of student writing.
