RPP #1 Introduction to Podcasting


This is my first blog entry and podcast, Rod's Pulse Podcast #1, an introduction to podcasting. This is a brief, 5 1/2 minute show and includes a definition of podcasting from Wikipedia.

Click on the title link above to hear the podcast.

Future shows will discuss:
1) how to subscribe using the Juice podcast receiver and iTunes (see download links to the right)
2) how to create your own podcast
3) reviews of other podcasts relevant to higher education
4) coverage of news about Blackboard

Let me know how it sounds. Hopefully, sound quality and the "production value" will increase as I get more experience with my podcasting tools.

I invite you to leave comments on this blog.

Enjoy,
Rod
