Podcasting Principles

You can check out the powerpoint on podcasting made into a screencast with Jing (free screenscast software) which provides an overview of what podcasting is and what it entails: from software to pedagogy.

*Jing allows you to make quality screencasts and store them into its server and share them with your friends. The drawback to the free version is that there is a 5 minute limit on the length of the screecasts. The pro version allows you to record for more time, but you have to pay. An easy solution is to consider making shorter presentations.
