EXAMPLES

• This blog, Sydneys People Podcast is and example of podcasts incorporated onto a blog.

• My other podcasting blog, Let's Talk, which I set up for my students to communicate with Portuguese students through recorded messages, is easier for students to use at home (the recording facility doesn't work at TAFE!) once they join.

* Our media has changed a bit recently, you should download SpinXpress also. It works much better than ourmedia by itself.
