IPODs and other MP3 players, most the size of a credit card, have created the opportunity to listen to thousands of songs at any place and any time. This innovative way to buy, download, and listen to music has revolutionized the music industry. Recently, however, it has begun to offer a new opportunity for educators to reach students. Teachers are creating curriculum and sending it directly to the students' mp3 players. Students can then listen to homework assignments, lectures, or notes at any time and any place.
Podcasting, a term combining the words IPOD and Broadcasting, refers to a specific way for someone to create content and then to deliver that content as a broadcast. Others subscribe to the broadcast and receive new content when it is created.
