Bring podcast to life

Podcasts can be an invaluable education tool, but first you have to master how to make them. Here are the steps involved in bringing a podcast to life. Follow these steps yourself to create a podcast to share with your students, or share the steps with your students so they can create their own.

Research: Before you hit record, you’ll want to do your research on your topic.

Record: You can record a podcast just using the built-in recorder on a laptop or computer, or you could invest in a few tools — like a high-quality microphone — to improve the sound quality of your podcasts.

Publish then promote!: First you’ll need to host your podcast on an RSS feed or your own website, if you have one. Then you can publish your podcasts on a variety of accessible platforms like iTuneS.
