Podcasting

Podcasting is a way to publish audio broadcasts via the Internet, allowing users to subscribe to a feed of new files (usually MP3s and Video). It’s distinct from other types of on-line media because of its subscription model, which uses a feed (such as RSS or Atom) to deliver an enclosed file.

You may subscribe to feeds using "podcatching" software (a type of aggregator), wwhich periodically checks for and downloads new content automatically. Some podcatching software is also able to synchronise (copy) podcasts to portable music players. Any digital audio player or computer with audio-playing software can play a podcast.

We suggest using Apple's free iTunes program with its large selection of podcasts. Adding a podcast is as easy as clicking the 'Subscribe' button, but if you don't find the one you're looking for or have different podcast software, you can subscribe by copying and pasting the address of the podcast's feed, often shown by an orange RSS button

When subscribed, the software will check the feed, and downloaded Video Podcast to your computer only when a new one is posted. You can listen to it from your computer, or sync it to your portable music player, and take it on the run with you!

We hope you enjoy Broward Schools: News 2 Go! Video Podcasts, and our new Video Podcast BCPS Update.

Our feed is here.

We also have a link to our podcast on iTunes.
