Podcasting

This past week I have been experimenting with Podcasting. I can see how this tool would be very beneficial to see if students have gained an understanding of a topic. I know many people download Podcast lectures to listen to. I do not think this would be too exciting considering that there would be nothing to look at. I am such a visual person. On the other hand, this could be a great tool for students to listen to if they need information on a topic, and are unable to talk to a person directly. I could see this being a good alternative to reading a lot of material on a topic. Students could listen instead. I didn't find it too difficult to tape it or edit it. I could see how material to be edited for either understanding, or to create a misunderstanding, could easily be accomplished. I do not currently use this tool, but I could see how it would be beneficial for educational purposes.
