Podcast and Voicethreads

I do believe that podcast would be beneficial in a classroom setting especially in a online class. Podcast are great, they allow one to cast their voice to literally millions of people. The podcast could be a great supplement to a teachers lesson plan allowing students to access more information on a specific topic designated by the teacher. I believe that information coming from a credited source other than a text book or lecture is a good change of pace for the student allowing them to come to the realization that learning can be achieved even outside the classroom. I myself love podcast, I love the fact that I can get a variety of opinions and facts on practically any subject I want to research. I do believe podcast should be another tool used in the classroom to provide more learning opportunities.
