Podcasting is listening. Some have video, others don't. For me I need to see the podcast. I learn better visually. If you learn better with just audio than this could be for you. There is a large amount of material on iTunes in the Education section under podcasts. I think teachers need to pick and choose the casts that they would use. We will need to teach our students how to use podcasts. I think some students might not want to download a podcast to their IPOD. However, they might listen to it from a computer if they have a computer readily avaiable. Some teachers out there have done some fantastic things with podcasts. Look, listen, and learn.

I haven't yet reached Thing 19 but have subscribed to podcasts for several years. I subscribe to several that focus on Las Vegas (where I enjoy vacationing!) and also to a social work podcast. I find that the auditory component is convenient when walking, exercising, riding in a car. Radio broadcasts are so hit and miss and there are so many commercials that a podcast focusing on one thing has been helpful. Sometimes at night when I cannot sleep I listen to a podcast which usually puts me to sleep very quickly!!
ReplyDeleteiTunes has many (overwhelmingly so) podcasts and many more universities are podcasting. I have heard that many professor's lectures are also made available through podcasts. I wonder what that does to class attendance?!
Wasn't it in 2005 that Duke University gave every incoming freshman an IPOD to try and infuse technology into their courses? I wonder if they followed it up with any results? Maybe I'll do a little research later.
