Funny video about podcasting on Teachertube.
During the job-a-like session at KORCOS, several people were looking for basic information about podcasts, vodcasts, wikis, and other resources. This post is in response to those questions and holds several useful links.
What is a podcast? It is a recording of a persons voice that is uploaded to the Internet and available for other people to download for listening. A podcast can be as simple or as complex as you like, but the important part is that the file is shared with other people. There needs to be an audience for it to be a podcast. Tools you can use to make a podcast could be GarageBand on a Mac, or you could download Audacity for a Mac or a PC. All the equipment you need is a microphone, which you can purchase at any Hi Mart in Seoul (Sorry to those in other countries). You can also create and post podcasts to PodOmatic.
What is a vocast? It is a recording using of a person that captures their voice and image and uploaded to the Internet for people to view. As a podcast, there has to be an audience in order for it to be a vodcast. You could use iMovie (Mac), Movie Maker (PC), or Photo Booth (Mac). You need a microphone and a webcam, both easily and cheaply purchased at any Hi Mart (again, sorry to those who live else where). You can create or post vodcasts to Youtube or Teachertube.
What is a Wiki? A wiki allows more than one user to edit/add content to a webpage. I answered this in my previous post, so take a look there for the sample wikis. You can build wikis at Wetpaint or Wikispaces.
