Honestly, I have heard of internet radio and and Web television, but have not participated in listening or viewing. With this, the average person without training can participate. I can't see being successful unless the person has a lot of credibility or an unusual message. Even though it's open to the masses it takes a certain amount of preparation in writing, editing and videotaping to get a piece that will attract viewers.
I can see using it as a tool in the classroom to capture class presentations and skits to share with other classes or with parents. As a reading teacher, I can also see using it as an assessment tool for fluency. I am emabarrased to say we have been using the old recorders (really an antique at this point.). Students use to record their reading and track their growth in reading a particular piece.
I know I need some help from experienced podcasters as there seem to be so many steps involved and different equipment (I need microphnes and video equipt.). I wonder if Dan Williams films the school news show with this software? I will ask him. He's usually my technical go to guy anyway! A few cites and tools mentioned to note are:
