Chapter 8. Podcasting and Images

Podcasting allows you to share audio files over the Internet. In recent years, as podcasting has increased in prominence and popularity, there has been an almost overwhelming amount of information about how to get started with podcasting: the technical requirements, the hardware, the software, and so on.

Sharing images creates a variety of ways for students to get involved in the class. In some classes, such as Photography or other Fine Arts courses, images provide a way for students to showcase their work. In other courses, online image sharing can be used to enhance the curriculum.

In this chapter, we will focus on cutting through the noise, and setting up your site to work as a podcasting and image sharing platform. This chapter will break down the technical aspects of publishing audio and images, along with ways of integrating podcasting into your class.
