A podcast's distributor maintains a list of audio or video files in a series on a server as a web feed,
and the listener or viewer uses special client application software, known as a podcatcher, to access
this web feed, check it for updates, and download any new files in the series. This process can be
automated so that new files are downloaded automatically, which may seem to the user as though
broadcast or "pushed" to them. Files are stored locally on the user's computer or other device, ready
for offline use.[2][3] Podcasting contrasts with webcasting (Internet streaming), which generally isn't
designed for offline listening to user-selected content.
EDUBLOG
An edublog is a blog created for educational purposes. Edublogs archive and support student and
teacher learning by facilitating reflection, questioning by self and others, collaboration[1] and by
providing contexts for engaging in higher-order thinking.[2][3] Edublogs proliferated when blogging
architecture became more simplified and teachers perceived the instructional potential of blogs as
an online resource.[1] The use of blogs has become popular in education institutions including public
schools and colleges.[4] Blogs can be useful tools for sharing information and tips among co-workers,
providing information for students, or keeping in contact with parents. Common examples include
blogs written by or for teachers, blogs maintained for the purpose of classroom instruction, or blogs
written about educational policy. Educators who blog are sometimes called edubloggers.
STORYTELLING
Storytelling is the conveying of events in words, sound and/or images, often by improvisation or
embellishment. Stories or narratives have been shared in every culture as a means of entertainment,
education, cultural preservation and instilling moral values. Crucial elements of stories and
storytelling include plot, characters and narrative point of view. The term 'storytelling' is used in a
narrow sense to refer specifically to oral storytelling and also in a looser sense to refer to techniques
used in other media to unfold or disclose the narrative of a story.
