Thing 21
Podcast are so cool! I got an iphone a couple of months ago and have a couple podcast fed to my phone all the time. I use Discovery Channel and FORA.tv Daily. What I like about them being sent to my phone is if/when I have some down time I can easily check a couple podcasts, since they are usually very short, for things that are current to use in class. I also use the lecture series that has casts of college classes so I can see what is being done at that level. I have found some that work for my physics classes and have put links to them on our class web site. Also what is nice about having them fed to my phone is I can access them at school, as long as I don't get caught with my phone;) There are many times when I'm eating lunch and listening to a cast. I think the next step is to make some of my own for those students that miss class or need to see/hear it again.

If you decide you want to start using podcasts with your classes, the district has a podcast server and some pretty easy ways to create them if you are on a mac.
Ditto to what Deb said, and we'll be talking about podcasting at the March meeting.
I'm impressed how you are using the podcasts to be up-to-date on your content area ... and I agree that they can be a great tool for helping students keep up or catch up in class. We'll check accessibility at school first ...
