Instructify

Sure, podcasting sounds awesome, and after listening to the Education Podcast Network, you’re excited about creating one of your own for students and parents. So you sit down at your computer, ready to record, and find there’s no microphone. Now what, big brain?

Gcast can get you out of this fix. Using their ad-supported service, you can create and publish podcasts free, and here’s the best part: you can do it from your phone. We know you’ve got one of those. (At least, we’re pretty sure you do.)

Here’s how it works: Visit Gcast’s website and sign up for an account. Give them the phone number you’ll call from, so their caller ID can match you with your podcasts. Call toll free. Record. Send people to your new podcast so they can marvel at your brilliance.

With a tool this easy, you no longer have any excuses for not podcasting. (And don’t try to tell us you have nothing to say. We know that’s not true.) So holler at us in the comments section and let us know the URL for your new classroom podcast. – ROSS WHITE

[UPDATE 4/3/09: As of April 1, podcasting by phone on Gcast requires a yearly subscription fee of $99. However, Gcast will still host podcasts for free.]
