Podcasting is becoming a valuable tool to many in the world of education. Podcasting is defined as the method of distributing multimedia files, such as audio or video programs, over the internet using syndication feeds, for playback on mobile devices and personal computers. Professors are already starting to podcast their lectures. It will prove to be invaluable to students are unable to attend class due to illness or some other emergency. The only down fall that I can see is students not seeing the purpose of attending class all together. If that was to happen students could lose the interaction, social skills and team work skills that are obtained in the classroom setting. However, the youth of today are so technological advanced that this may be the only to keep their attention.
