Notes There are many types of podcasts available, such as education, sports, business. They can be placed on a server or on an iPod. School podcast examples for iPods include tests for Special Education, fluency readings, or book reports. Eagan High School (Minnesota) has done podcasts for Honors Chemistry as a tool for making chemistry more meaningful. The podcasts make learning more relevant and engaging. ESU 7 has a weblog server for podcasts, movies, or other documents to post (only). Also, schools can create their own.

Garage Band is one of the popular methods for creating a podcast. Podium is another option and a free program called Audacity.

When completed, it can be shared and exported. If pictures are to be added, they can be placed on the podcast track (says "Drag Artwork here")
