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.
