Blended Edu: KidCast: Podcasting in the Classroom

Dan Schmit, an instructional technologist in the College of Education and Human Sciences at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, has just completed a resource book for educators on podcasting called "KidCast: Podcasting in the Classroom."

Whether you are a podcast producer or just a listener, KidCast will get you and your students started with easy-to-follow directions to help you:

Learn the basics of finding and listening to podcasts on the Internet
Organize your own podcast show
Find low-cost easy to use audio recording and mixing software
Create RSS feeds to allow others to subscribe to your show
Promote your podcast to build your listener base

So if you've been thinking about integrating podcasts into your curriculum or just interested in learning more about the "how to" of this new technology, Dan's book is an excellent (and timely) place to start. Be sure to check out the companion web site and podcast.

Good work Dan!
