A podcast is a sound file that can be uploaded onto the internet so that others can download the file and listen to it from their computer or other digital music (sound) players. I searched the internet for podcasts in general and it was interesting to find that the ABC radio station records their sessions into podcasts so that if you might happen to miss it on the radio you can always listen to it later on at ones own time. The podcasts relate to various issues but I enjoy staying up to date with the latest global news worthy issues, especially those that relate to business. Follow the link to find an ABC podcast about today’s news worth issues http://www.abc.net.au/pm/rss/pmrss.xml .This podcast would also be beneficial to business education students. They can listen to it to gain knowledge and stay up to date with the news and also use it as a source to find news articles if requested for any assignments in business education as well as any other classes such as social science and english. Business education students can also try to find a short clip from one of their favorite pop songs that deals with economics and base a message around that idea that they can then podcast whilst mathematics student can create podcasts to help each other understand how to work through problems and concepts (International Reading Association, 2011). Furthermore, students from any class can create podcasts about current events or classroom happenings at school so they can share this with their family and friends. I have created a SWOT table in my wiki to critically analyse the use of this digital tool in teaching and learning.
