Podcasting is hot, hot, hot

Everyone’s posting about “podcast” being selected as the Word of the Year for 2005 by the New Oxford American Dictionary. (This follows “blog” which was selected as the 2004 word of the year by Merriam-Webster Online.)

Podcasting was easily the hottest topic at the recent TIES Conference. My session, Podcasting 101, had nearly 300 attendees, and every other podcast-related session was full too. (It was really cool to present in one of the large rooms on a huge screen.) As I said in my talk, I haven’t seen anything catch the imagination of teachers and students like podcasting has in the last year.
