Almost there! Thing 19 was about Podcasting...which I was really excited about because I often want to listen to Mike Flanagan's podcast. I listened to "This I Believe-attitude" which is from a school in Charlotte, MI. It was a motivational podcast.
I did not like the quality of some of the podcasts. It's hard to tell what the quality of a podcast will be by the tag/descriptor. I would combat this by compiling my own list of appropriate podcasts according to subject/topic and allow the students to use only those, or require one of those and allow students to use the web for another.
As teachers students often view us the teacher as the professional on the subject, when we know we are not! The best use of Podcast I can imagine is hearing true professionals on the topic begin covered. It's obvious through browsing through all the podcasts available there is a podcast on many topics and many subjects.
