So far from using the podcast and listening to other podcasts, I have found many positives and negatives. First, I do find that certain podcasts could be more interesting when the speaker only uses monotone. Also, since I am a visual learner, if there is only audio in the podcast, I find myself listening less and less to what is being said rather than seeing a visual of what they are talking about.

As for the positives, I do like being able to catch up on a math technique that I have forgotten and need a refreshment course. I also think that using the Garage Band to create my own podcast would be a useful skill for students in providing a presentation that differs from using Powerpoint, and therefore bringing students' full attention to the presentation. I could also get a better sense of how much my students understand the material and it keeps them engaged.
