pre-podcasting

I have never really pod-casted before nor am I to familiar with what it is or how it works. I am under the impression that pod-casting is just a set of media files that can be audio or video. I feel that technology is a very important part of teaching today. Pod-casting will make it easier and more interesting for the students to learn. One disadvantage about pod-casting is that like myself not all students do well with using the internet or different computer programs. Pod-casting is a lesson on its own for myself because I have never really been introduced to it. However, I am looking forward to pod-casting in the future because it will be helpful once I start teaching.
