Podcasting
What exactly is Podcasting? Podcasts are like radio programs that you can subscribe to and download to your computer. From your computer they can be downloaded to most digital devices and accessed at any time. Many have RSS feeds attached to them so when a new version or new program is created it is automatically downloaded to your computer, or you are notified.

Mac Users:
To get accents on the Mac, hold down the Option key, and while holding it down, type the letter e; then release those keys and type the letter that you want the accent to appear on:
á = Opt + e, then a
é = Opt + e, then e
í = Opt + e, then i
ó = Opt + e, then o
ú = Opt + e, then u
For the ñ, hold down the Option key while you type the n; release and type n again.

To place the diaeresis over the u, hold down the Option key while pressing the u key; release and type u again.
ü = Opt + u, then u
