Thing 20

Subscribing to podcasts...

Of the two sites to search for podcasts, I definitely preferred The Education Podcast Network. I found Podcast Ally to be complicated. What I liked about EPN was the list of categories on the side of the page and when you clicked on one, such as mathematics, the podcasts related to math were listed right there. Very user friendly.

To complete this "Thing" I only used iTunes to subscribe to a few podcasts. When I do further searching I might try using Bloglines because I don't have iTunes on all of my computers. Also, since I've never used iTunes before, do you have an iTunes account that you log into, because I didn't need one or see one on my husband's laptop. If I subscribe to something at home will I see it at school? That is why I am thinking that I might try using Bloglines instead.

A couple of podcasts that I subscribed to were "This American Life" and "The Math Factor". Next, I need to learn how to load them on my mp3 player so that I can listen to them on the way to school, or when I'm out for a walk.
