Using Web resources, students capture "scraps" of information about a piece of literature. Students then create a scrapbook using PowerPoint or another presentation software and share their online scrapbook with the class. During their presentation, students defend their choice of scrapbook entries: why is the entry important to the understanding of the topic?"
Podcasting Podcasting is a method of publishing audio programs via the Internet, allowing users to subscribe to a feed of new files (usually MP3s). It became popular in late 2004, largely due to automatic downloading of audio onto portable players or personal computers. Podcasting is distinct from other types of online media delivery because of its subscription model, which uses a feed (such as RSS or Atom) to deliver an enclosed file. Podcasting enables independent producers to create self-published, syndicated "radio shows," and gives broadcast radio programs a new distribution method.
