podcast, vidcast and photocasting

I was doing research on podcasting, vidcasting and since I was interested in using photos and sound in my history class, I thought of calling it photo casting. Low and behold, it already exists. I was impressed with coming up with this idea even if it wasn't a new one.
I love teaching history. My students are learning to appreciate its' importance. (Some more than others of course.) When I explained their next project in which we will be using photos that they select and which they will explain via a microphone, they thought it was a great idea. They are very much looking forward to the challenge. Of we go to the computer lab tomorrow to start our journey into photocasting a history research.

Here is a site describing how to photocast even if you do not have an Apple computer.
