Thing 19: Podcasts

Podcasts are an excellent tool for those who are auditory learners. In school they would be very valuable for those students who are distracted by visual stimuli. Many students could re-listen to the content of a class and learn much more. Podcasts would be great to listen to while on a car trip.
I particularly enjoyed Education Podcast Network, finding a number of podcasts that had valuable information. This would be another avenue for personal development which would be easy to access. Podcastalley was another pod cast directory I found easy to use, especially when just browsing.

At this point in time I cannot foresee using podcasts in my classroom, at least not in the next year.
