This video is a great way to introduce podcasting to your students in your class. The “ninja” loosely explains what podcasting is and why it’s popular. While he’s obviously taken some liberties with his explanation (ex. the name podcasting is related to the invention of iPods, not a pod of whales), it’s a great way to capture your students attention and open up the discussion to what they could create.
