Thing #22

Out of the offered podcast directories, the one that I liked the most was the Educational Podcast Directory. The interface was a bit cleaner and subject breakdown was eaiser to search through. I chose to listen to a podcast from the Computer/Tech. Skills section. The title was Simulation and Gaming in Education, Part 1. It was about teaching in virtual environment and role playing environments called Metaverses. It highlighted the application called Second Life and the educational institutions that have a presence there. I did like Podcast Alley as well. It had a great resource section to help others get started podcasting. I think that I will look into using podcast to pass along tips and equipment information to my professors. I subscribed to the instructional tech podcasts with my Google Reader so I can keep up with what is posted.
