Thing #19 - Podcasting

Spent several hours looking around at podcasts. I had trouble subscribing outside of itunes - could subscribe but not sure where the subscription went to - I'll have to look around on my computer to see where they went.

I did not come across anything yet that I feel I need to listen to everyday. I already frequently just delete the emails that come to my mailbox everyday to read about the new latest and greatest educational invention. I wonder when I would make time to listen to 5 different podcasts?

Here is one I found interesting - about good teaching strategies. I always think there are good ideas out there and I just need to be reminded.

I have used podcasts that I have found on the web as supplementary material for kids who have been absent for a lecture or need more resources. The kids seem to like having a backup to listen to. I have also toyed around with the idea of vodcasting my labs for kids who are absent - they can watch the vodcast instead of having to leave the lab set up for them. I know MACUL was offering stipends for teachers to produce podcast to put on ituneU. So many ideas - all need a fair amount of time!
