Things 19 and Thing 20

I am not sure I understand enough about pod casting, but I have spent a grueling amount of time on Thing 19 and 20. I really like the idea of pod casting and think it is fantastic for today's students, but it seems to take so much time! EPN was not user friendly and I didn't like podcastalley at all. It just seems like on both of these sites I had to play "go fish" too much. I tried to search for pod casts using yahoo and again did not find it easy. I did stumble upon Videomathtutor.com which I think could be useful for some of my students having difficulty in their math classes. I also found LearnOutLoud.com which would be helpful for some of my students who need things read aloud. I went to Mystorynory.com and think this is very good, seems elementary but it did have Greek Myths which I thought played well for a middle school student. I was much more successful using ITunes. I subscribed to PrincetonReview.-VocabMinute I really, really like this site and I know I will pass it along to my colleagues, my students, and my friends! I am not a classroom teacher so I think what I would find most beneficial about pod casts is just helping my students find some that will help them with what they may be having difficulty with. There is a teacher in our special ed department that puts information on pod casts, so now at least I know what she is talking about!
