Summary: I’ve received lots of emails lately from teachers interested in “vodcasting” - short for video podcasting. I typically don’t use this term because, as people begin learning the concepts around syndicated media, I believe it throws an unnecessary term into the mix. Whether you use video, audio, enhanced or some variant of all three. It also sounds nearly indistinguishable from podcasting, which makes me a little crazy. So, for me, I say take the extra millisecond and give yourself the luxury of all six syllables - say it with me vid-e-o pod-cast-ing. See how nice that rolls off the tongue? Okay, now that we have semantics and pronunciation out of the way, I actually have a lot of ideas about video podcasting - - even for someone who is almost completely podcasts in a simple audio format. Check out this episode to hear me try to dispel some myths about video podcasting, explore some ideas about what makes a good podcast, and give you some ideas about managing the video podcasting process.
