Podcasting

In my opinion, podcasting is the next generation of ham radio. It is audio used to relay a message on a topic of interest. The difference between Podcasting and Vodcasting is one is video (Video on Demand=vod) and one is audio.There are many advantages to using podcasting, including but not limitied to:

1. Preservation of content- Anything you make can be kept in perpetuity and redistributed as needed.
2. Proliferation of content- Once it is in a file format, a seemly infinite number of copies can be made and distributed to a wide audience.
3. Planning of content- Usually when something is recorded, there is more planning and thought given to production and thus some of the mistakes from spontaneity are reduced.


I am not sure to what extent I will be able to podcast in my room yet. Once I create a structured, standards-based curriculum, I would like to include podcasts to augment my curriculum.
