I have been using podcasts through itunes for a couple of years. I love listening to them as I walk to school on my ipod or on my computer when I have time. I can catch up with world music, NPR music stories, and topics that interest me. I did not realize I could do this through the RSS reader. Thanks for teaching me that. My absolute favorite part of thing 17 was the link to 100 ways to use your ipod.
Who knew there were ipod lesson plans??
highlights:
- ijourneys
walking tours of different countries - Merriam Webster dictionary
check on a definition while teaching - notepods think cliff notes
- ipod lesson plans
Check out the site to find 96 more ideas……..
I also found “freeware” which is a relatively new concept for me. In the podcast Making Music W/OSX there were too many offers to check out in one sitting. I downloaded a really cool sound called the duni hammer. I’m glad to learn more about podcasts, and I even put a few more on itunes and my RSS reader.

All,
I am just getting into connecting education and technology and I was wondering if any of you had any tips for getting started. I want to incorporate it first with my honors classes and work out all the kinks, then have my entire section podcasting about historical figures. What would be 3 essentials to help my classes make the transition pretty smoothly?
