Today’s podcast is a sample review lesson created for first-year Spanish students (but you don’t need to know Spanish to listen!). My intent with this podcast is to provide a good example of podcasting as it can be used in education, along with some pedagogical guidelines for creating such content.

I don’t know how I ended up with so much crap.
Really, I don’t know how it happened. I mean, as a kid I never had any problem throwing things away and as an adult I’ve continued the habit.

We drove through the flatlands covered with red earth through the hills of Arkansas and on into the Appalachian mountains. On our last day, we crossed through eight states — Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts — all in a period of nine hours.

What are some of the ideas about online instruction and support that are now a part of the mainstream belief system (within education providers)? What does an analysis reveal?
