Our next technology & Internet term is "podcast." According to Wikipedia's definition, "a podcast is a series of digital computer files, usually either digital audio or video, that is released periodically and made available for download by means of web syndication." Although it may seem like podcasts need to be played on an ipod, that's not the case! If you have a computer that can process digital audio/video files, you can play podcasts on that!
Check out this great video called "Podcasting in Plain English."

I think the "Podcasting in Plain English" was quite interesting in how the presenter used animations to explain how it works.

I have heard about about podcasting before, but did not know how the process works. Therefore, I was amazed at how the the website uses graphics to explain the process.
