Podcasting" seems to be as popular a buzzword today as "mp3" was in 1999 when it became the number one search word on the internet. However, just as in 1999, many still do not know what this new technology is or how to take full advantage of it in an academic setting. The Implementing Podcasting in the Classroom web conference will examine how existing technology infrastructure can be used in conjunction with podcasting technology to reach students in new and meaningful ways. Join us to examine a fully-deployed classroom podcasting program and explore how this new technology could be deployed on your campus.

Who Should Attend:

This event is designed to demonstrate how to effectively implement a podcasting program to technology administrators desiring specific details on existing implementations in classroom settings. This includes vice presidents of instructional technology and chief information officers deciding on how to best implement a new podcasting program, distance learning support staff, library technology administrators, and audio-visual and multimedia support staff.
