Podcasting

I've been listening to my favourite radio shows through podcast for about a year and a half. For me, it is a particular handy tool. Most often, I forget or don't have time to listen to my favourite radio broadcasts, so I download them and listen to them through my car, ipod and computer. There are a lot of educational programs out there to compliment teaching subjects, however, I have noticed that on long broadcast (around 45mins, or 1hr) I tend to start 'tuning out'.
On the other hand, podcasts are great because you can pause, and rewind. This could be helpful if your not a a strong auditory learner. If you are a strong auditory leaner, the podcasts are a good way to supplement the subject that you are learning.
Video's are also available as vodcasts, this allows for storage of good teaching programs or related videos on to portable devices. Students are very mobile these days, it makes sense to use technology to bring the education to them wherever they are.
