I listen to podcasts almost every week about things that I am interested in. However, I have never considered using podcasts as a learning strategy for students. In the article linked below Brent Coley uses podcasts to his classes advantage. Having all of the students make podcasts of what they have learned helps not only the students by reviewing, but also helps other students in his classroom, and around the world learn as well. Because of the amount of hits these podcasts get the students feel like they are involved in something important. I think that this is a great idea as a teacher. Students are getting a sense of self worth all while learning and helping others learn.
