Note: As Tracy did, you can create simple “pseudopodcasts” – recordings that play directly on your website rather than productions that the audience can download or subscribe to – by having your students create their projects in Photo Story (PC) or iMovie (Mac), save them as a WMA or QuickTime file, and uploading these files to your website.
