Audio files contain purely voice and music; there is no visual to it. Audio files can be easily imported onto a computer from a phone, digital camera or even a webcam. A podcast is a combination of “iPod” and “broadcasting”. Teachers and students can download free podcasts through Apple’s iTunes as there are many types of educational podcasts that can be found online. For example; Grammar Girls’ Quick and Dirty Tips can be used during English Language Art lesson time. Students can be engaged while listening to this podcast.
Students and teachers can easily create their own podcasts if they wish as a final assessment in a unit. Examples of audio editing software that can be easily accessible are Audacity and Apple’s Garageband. Students creating their own podcast and publishing these podcasts online for others to listen to can increase a LoTi level from a four up to a level five. Creating podcasts can be very engaging and motivating for students.

Please listen to my sample audio post, using Audacity, about reading Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You? By Dr. Seuss. The song used in this audio post is Le Cambio by Juan Bustamante Lopez.
