Chapter 8 Response

Before reading the chapter and creating our own podcasts in class, I barely knew what a podcast was. I had a general idea but I didn't know exactly what they were and that they were becoming so popular. I was very excited to read about the free podcasts that you can subscribe to through ITunes. After doing as the author suggested and looking through some of the top podcasts in Education, I found some that I think could be very beneficial to a teacher in the classroom. What I love even more is that I can subscribe to these podcasts and they will just automatically come to my account, almost like the RSS feed. It makes things a lot easier and we all know that teachers have A LOT on their plate, so anything that can help make the load lighter, is a really good thing!
