Podcasts

I thought that podcasting was a lot of fun. I like using them for my own personal use (listening to them mostly) and I saw some great examples of how teachers have used them in their class rooms ...and used them well. I have to think that they may have had some use as a tool for assessment in my class room, but with videos so easy to create and publish ... I wouldn't use a podcast. A podcast might be a better way to leave an assignment for your students, you could really explain the assignment in detail verbally as oppsed to writing, but I would cringe to hear my own voice! So I think I would use them only as a source of info, use them with a RSS feed, but would move towards Youtube as a better place for my student assessments.
