Podcasting- BLOG #6

This article was interesting. I have never made a podcast or listened to one before. The idea of pod casting sounds like something that I would definitely enjoy. I think it would be most enjoyable if it is on a subject of our choice. I know as a student that each person learns very differently. Some people can simply read something and understand it. I am jealous of those people- because I learn best through audio and writing and re-writing stuff. Others learn visually. Pod casting can really assist in the audio part of learning. Listening to highly complicated ideas has the potential to really help students. For those students who don't learn through audio there are plenty of other resources that they can use. Judging from the article it seems like a technology that can be accessed fairly easily and the information can be streamed onto MP3 players and Ipods. As a student a Fort Lewis College I would definitely use this technology for say- review for at test as I walk across campus to class. I feel like the structure of a podcast may be just a little different than a radio show. For one the likely hood of the podcast being interrupted by commercials would probably be very low. Depending on the nature of the podcast the need for different voices and actors would be lower than that of a radio show. In general I think podcasting is a great idea for access to information and has the potential to be very beneficial to students.
