Podcasts

The Finatic found the Shins music video on a podcast site. The Finatic also wanted to include some other podcasts, especially one from a jazz station in Florida, but it was more difficult than expected to load/link the podcast to the blog. This was a very fun exercise for the Finatic because even though the Finatic owns an iPod, the Finatic has never really played with podcasts. The Finatic hopes to learn more about podcasts.

Because the Finatic is also a college student, the Finatic hopes that professors can use the technology in the Web 2.0 program to make sitting through lectures a thing of the past. The Finatic especially hopes that the Finatic graduate program can use this technology to make classes more accessible for students who have awkward work programs. A podcast (either audio or video) would be great for a class, and if it was used in conjunction with Zoho writer and blogs, professors could still follow a student's progress and contributions to the class. Plus, this is great for the adult students who have work, family, and other commitments that may take away from the time spent in a physical classroom.
