Podcasting - using online audio

Definition of podcast: A podcast is an episodic series of digital audio or video files which a user can download and listen to. It is often available for subscription, so that new episodes are automatically downloaded via web syndication to the user's own local computer, mobile application, or portable media player.

Podcasts are mostly used as a reliable source of information and high-quality language.

It is easy to listen to something the others prepared for you.
But what about actually recording some podcasts?

TASK: Create your own podcast on poetry.

1. Make groups of 3-4.
2. Each group will develop one chosen topic taken form your current literary programme. Focus on one poem only. Consider what YOU think about it, not what somebody else does! Do not copy analyses and summaries, anybody can do it.
Your task is to summarise your personal opinion and approach to the poem. 
3. Write a scenario to be recorded, OR pre-prepare a free discussion on the poem.
4. Record the podcast (minimum length 5 minutes, maximum length 2 minutes per person). Save it in mp3 format.
5. Add a catchy, informative title to your podcast. Choose some illustrations.
6. Submit the finalised mp3 and other materials to the administrator to upload. Tomas Holec was appointed the administrator: he will start a group account in Podomatic and upload all projects as podcasts.
7. Enter the link of your podcast channel + the title and group members' names into your personal website.
8. Enjoy what you and your mates created!
