Podcasting can be used effectively in various classroom settings. It allows teachers to create audio recordings of lectures for students to listen to online or on mp3 players. Students can also create podcasts to conduct interviews or deliver monthly newsletters. Teachers in different subject areas like music have found that podcasts help students learn outside of class by listening to music examples and artist biographies. Podcasting provides an inexpensive way for both teachers and students to integrate technology into the classroom in a creative manner.
