Podcast:
There is a free online service for podcast from audioblogger.com
The step to set up is simple: create a free account --> specify the address of one’s blog --> call the phone number specified and then record (up to 5 minutes of audio). The recorded audio is then converted into mp3 format and a link to the mp3 file is automatically put in a posting to the blog. One doesn’t have to do anything except to make a phone call and talk! Imagine what this means. This means that one can record a podcast from a cell phone while walking or driving down the road. This also means that students in an online class can post audio responses.
Please give it a try. The following are various ways to create podcast and applications of podcast.

Wiki
Create a wiki space
Wikispaces.com is a good site to create your wiki. It is free, easy to use and has lots of help menus to learn how to add and change your site. The group should decide on a title for your wiki space based on your project and one person should set it up. Since this is project space, you might want to limit those who can edit your wiki to the members of the group. All can still view your work, but only the members can make changes to your project.
