The "Definition of"...

 The New Oxford American Dictionary defines podcast as “a digital recording of a radio broadcast or similar program, made available on the Internet for downloading to a personal audio player.” ² In other words, it’s a digital audio file that’s created, shared, and heard.

Podcasts are portable. Although accessible via computers, they can also reside on MP3 players and go anywhere. This is a real plus. Science teachers can capitalize on this portability by creating a walking science-lab podcast for students to carry around on an MP3 player, following instructions as they learn about different science tools, procedures or elements of science resources.  Or while doing research on a field trip, students can use a digital recorder to document interviews, observations, notes, and other information and then come back to the classroom to produce their own podcasts to share what they learned.
