Step 6             

Use a service like Apple iTunes to make the podcast public.

Step 7             

Do some PR to let everyone know it's available!

Step 8             

Revel in the admiration and respect of peers!  Watch as kids beam with pride when they show mom, dad, grandma and grandpa what they did at school that day!

Keep in mind the CIPA laws and always get signed Internet release forms from your student's parents.
