Thing #22

I listened to "Philosophy of Education" from the Education Podcast Network, very insightful as far as how educators are supposed to pull all the subject matters into a cohesive way that students will be able to understand and take something away from the lesson.  The people had pleasing voices, which is pretty important because I don't really want to listen to an annoying voice.

I liked EPN the best because of the organization of the categories and it didn't have a lot of advertisements on the sidebar.  I think if I ever teach an online class, podcasts would be an invaluable tool, but I prefer face to face instruction, especially with elementary children.  Maybe podcasts would be more appropriate for older students.  I get really bored listening to people talk without visuals, so I don't think I'll regularly listen to many podcasts.
