Podcasting in the Classroom

Through out my EDM310 class this semester I have become a big fan of Podcast and Videocast. I hope to incorporate podcast into my classes when I become a teacher. I feel that students will better react to having to listen to a ten minute podcast then having to read excessive amounts of material. I do not think that students today have the attention span to sit and read a history text book every night. I think that you still have to make them read, but by backing that reading with multimedia I feel that you enhance the learning experience.
