The flu season is upon us. Inevitably, many students will miss important lessons in the classroom due to sickness. Teachers can take steps to help the students who are absent. Many teachers simply send home the assignments that the students have missed for the students to complete on their own. There is a better way. Teachers can create a Podcast that covers the lesson that the students have missed while absent. A Podcast is an audio broadcast that is formatted for playback in a computer or digital music player (Sharp, 2009) All that is needed to create a Podcast is a computer, microphone, and simple software for editing. After the podcast is recorded, the teacher can post the file on a Web page so that the absent students can easily download and listen to the information. This is just another example of how technology can have a positive impact on education.
