More on Podcasts

Now that I have sufficiently recovered from my podcast experience, I can now reflect on the educational aspects of this technology. I see the big advantage being that podcasts are portable. You can download them to your Ipod and take them with you on your daily run, or in my case a quick walk with my outdated MP3 player. You can even play them in the car on the way to work.

Another aspect of podcasts is that they can help fill the gap for auditory learners. Being an auditory learner myself, being visually online all the time can be draining. Plus you can multi-task with podcasts, like fold laundry or cook dinner. Then, again, maybe podcasts aren't so wonderful. Wait, I just had another idea. Wouldn't it be great to play a podcast that gave directions to something and you could work along with the podcast instead of having to stop to read the directions at each step?

Podcasts do have their place, and I will probably try creating another one when life is not so hectic.
