What is Podcasting? Additional Resources

Podcasting is a new and popular technology so there are numerous resources out there that describe what it is. For this post, we have pulled together the resources that we found to be particularly helpful as we began learning about podcasting.

Educause

Educause, "a nonprofit association whose mission is to advance higher education by promoting the intelligent use of information technology" has created and collected many outstanding resources that address new educational technologies like podcasting.
