Podcasts...
I really like podcasts. I have looked at a few of these before (my favorite being CraftSanity), but I have not thought about it recently.
While I was searching through some of the podcasts, it was nice to have one playing in the background while I was looking for others. I love to listen to audio books while I am working on the computer, and this would be just as easy.
The two that I found I would like to follow are mathgrad.com and the state superintendent's podcast. I think that the math site offers interesting "shows" on various math topics. I found the math behind sudoku particularly interesting. I would also like to follow what is going on with the state of our schools here in Michigan.
One of the assignments that I have assigned in the past for my environmental science students is to have them find science in the news. Having students use podcasts to find examples of science in the "real world" would give more variety and could become more interesting and relevant to themselves. I found the WWF site to be a good example.
Now, I'm off to find some podcasts to subscribe too.
