Thing 15- How to use Podcasts in Schools

I keep bringing up my 9th grade daughter, but she constantly has her headphones in her ears and we need to interrupt her "listening" to talk with her. I can definitely see the use of a podcast to supplement instruction and provide extensions to classroom activities. The typical teenager naturally uses this type of media for their enjoyment, why not make it educational?! I'd be most likely to have students help, as suggested, in finding appropriate and useful podcasts. The next step may be to share them in class, similar to the use of teacher tube, and then eventually have students responsible for accessing the information on their own. The potential for extension for students who are "gifted" or "bored" is limitless when using podcasts. The major hurdle continues to be accessibility. If it is required, then we must provide the access. This is the area that I could foresee any major issues with administration.
