The Podcast Aquatic

New opportunities for education and outreach through easy-access Internet technology

11:15am, Room H 513

Podcasting offers schools, zoos, museums and research centers a new opportunity to create and distribute timely information to the public. Through the online distribution of syndicated audio and video content it is possible to create readily updated audio tours of aquarium exhibits, nature trails, public programs and more. Learn how to harness this new technology through a demonstration of the ever increasing and easy to use technology available for creating and distributing online video and audio content.
