Wow! To be caught up in the new century finally. My kids have been doing MP3 Players and Ipods for quite some time and I always wanted to get one to use when walking (I'm getting one soon for sure!) I love the idea that you can download music galore. To download podcasts for the classroom is really exciting. Even in a preschool classroom setting, downloading a podcast about the letter "C" and having a different song to use with the children opens up opportunities for stronger learning. In our elementary schools, this would be a useful medium since they have the equipment to project their computer screens for view by the entire classroom. I think video or audio podcasts are fascinating for children, depending upon the topic discussed or presented. The teacher would have to thoroughly review the entire podcasts before using it as a teaching tool.
I listened to Hooked on Phonics - Letter C; Inside Story with Ana Marie Cox and Real Time with Bill Maher.
