The World of Podcast

WOW! Podcast looks like an exciting way to make good use of digital audio recording. I'm a musician, arranger, composer, and I have used Finale, Cakewalk, Cubase, Home Studio and other audio digital recording programs and equipment down through the years. Podcasting is the most inexpensive way of getting your creations and material published. This is a great tool to use in the class room to motivate your class to want to learn. I was just talking to my students today about uploading music to our class room SCORE site and them downloading our concert songs to their IPODS so they can practice at home. Chapter 8 in Richardson's book, "Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, made mention of several ideas of using Podcasts in music. You can even do a music crtic show. The possibilites are enormous whether in a music class or other classes. Podcasts really have stepped up the Read/Write Web process.
