For a variety of uses for podcasts, read Marc Fisher's "Podcasting Potential" in The Washington Post. Among the more unusual was the one for obituaries:
The need to have newspaper obituaries read to you via your iPod may not have struck you as an imperative for the new media technology, but audio obits nonetheless await your download at http://blogofdeath.com .
One professor (I forget where I read this), who drives more than an hour one way to work, uses the iPod for listening to an audio version of electronic texts, thus saving time away from the office.
The iPod of tomorrow will likely be the computer of today, and after that, perhaps human beings will become integrated with their technology.
This weblog is primarily to help focus my students on concepts, assignments, and technology that we are covering or eventually will do. It will cover what we have done and where we are headed. And it will chronicle my own learning processes with technology and writing. If you'd like to comment, please do. If you'd like to read more theoretical discussions, go to my blog Explorations in learning (see below).
