CALL class - 3 Sept 2009

Today we learn about podcasting.
A podcast is an audio file that you download from the internet.
Podcasting is the publishing of audio or video via the internet.
We learned how to use the Audacity and how to create a podcast. It's a new thing for me and i think that podcasting is very useful for teacher to create a lesson to improve their students' listening skill.
