Deeper Definition
A Podcast is rich media, such as audio or video, distributed via RSS or Atom feeds which provide updates whenever there is new content
“RSS is key to how people will use the Internet in the future by automatically delivering the information that is important to them,” Dean Hachamovitch, Microsoft, June 24, 2005

Interviews for news stories Oral History Subject material Review Student presentations Sound-seeing tours Advocacy Storytelling
Lesson Plans (from Apple)iPod ReportersUsing an iPod to record interviews for a newspaper story allows students to concentrate on an interview while it is happening rather than trying to take notes as they listen. This is especially helpful to younger students or those who face challenges with hearing, writing, or attending to multiple tasks.
Oral HistoriesDuring the course of study in American history, students investigate the theme of what it means to be American in a pluralistic society. One way students can explore this question is by conducting oral histories with a family member and creating a presentation of the interview. Students begin to develop a better understanding of their own family history as a means for framing a discussion and an understanding of who they are themselves.
Learning Math With MusicMany students learn number facts faster when they can use mnemonics, rhymes, and songs. Students love to create their own memory rhymes and songs, which allows them to personalize math facts. The portability of the iPod can help with developing these math skills by allowing students to listen repetitively to the math facts inside or outside of the classroom.
