I've been listening to podcasts through iTunes for a while now and enjoy searching for different ones. I use the Teachers' Podcast and ABC Radio National often but don't restrict myself to these two. Also listen to audiobooks from time to time.
We are trying to encourage the use of podcasts at my school but most students prefer to use visual materials. There is a need for good listening skills and concentration with podcasts and this does not suit many of today's students!
The media teacher at our school is doing some work with vodcasts and iTunesU. There seems to be lots of resources available and we will be inserviced shortly in this area.
