Podcasting has become a part of the distance learning program at Broward Community College in FT. Lauderdale, Florida. On Friday the second of February David Shulman and I presented a workshop presentation at the College's Professional Development Day entitled "Becoming a Podcast Professional at BCC". Professional Development Day is a day of workshops and activities designed to help the staff and faculty of the college sharpen their skills and knowledge in many different areas. We were honored to be included in the line up. As a service to those who missed the presention by attending other activities or for those who just could not get enough of podcasting the first time around we have included the entire workshop as a bobCast podcast. This podcast runs almost an hour in length but it includes all of the workshop from beginning to end.In the workshop we show you what a podcast is, and discuss how podcasting fits into the world of education and even take a quick look at commerical podcasting. We cover podcatching software programs such as Apple's iTunes and explain RSS technology and show how this technology can be used to deliver information by "pushing" the data to the student. And a bonus, we show several examples of how other faculty at the college are using the technology and creating their own podcasts for use in their classes.
