Resources and Examples

Apple - Podcasting in Education
http://www.apple.com/education/solutions/podcasting/
"In its most popular form, podcasting is a way for people to selectively subscribe to audio content over the Internet. This audio content can then be automatically downloaded to a computer or mobile device, like iPod. Think of it as a radio show that you can listen to whenever and wherever you want - only it's much more than that. Podcasting uses RSS (Really Simple Syndication) to deliver the content, providing a summary for new content on a website."
