Podcasting+Assignment

Ancient Greece Podcast Assignment First, what is a “Podcast”? It is an audio file that can be downloaded and listened to. Most podcast are produced in a series and can be sent and downloaded automatically to an I-tunes account. It is like a blog in audio format. For our class, we will call it a “Podcast” but we will not include a RSS feed for web syndication. For this assignment you and your partner will create a 4 – 5 min audio recording on a topic relating to Ancient Greece. You may create the podcast as an interview or as just an informative talk on your topic. Here are some ideas to get you started: [] [] [] []
