Podcast Internet Information (that I find interesting...ex. qoutes)

I found that in 2005 the word podcast was added to the dictionary as a word. This shows that pod casting has a made a huge impact on the technology world. Many teachers throughout the world have commented on the fact that it is easy to use even if you are not that good with technology. On the website that I am going to list later in the blog there are several different quotes from students and even teachers about pod casting. There are so many I am only going to choose a few to include in my blog entry. One teacher is quoted as saying that pod casts are essential in a classroom setting. They can be a pain in the butt, but when used right they make the classroom come alive. Pod casting gives students a better understanding of the material that is used in class and one example from the website would be listening to lectures on political science and history. They also like it because they can listen to it and pause it if they have to do something else. This is a good feature because they will not end up missing anything important to the class lecture. Another teacher has reported that the ability to combine sound and images makes the learning process go even faster! There are so many things that I find interesting in these quotes from teachers. I like things that are said from users and not just the company that created them. I find that they sell better when people that have experience tell you the facts about them instead of some Joe Shmoe that makes a profit off of it!
