This week I subscribed to PBS' podcast "Frontline". Listening to the series I am able to gain a better understanding of the happenings around the world. I teach both an American History course and a World Geography course where we incorporate current events. This subscription will help when I am in need of keeping updated on the events going on in the world. I have also found small pieces of the podcasts that could be used in the classroom as an alternative way to present the information. I can see myself utilizing this information quite often. I could plug my iPod in on my drive to work to update myself for the week/day.
I really enjoyed this program. My only "dislike" may be the fact that there are so many! I know that shouldn't be a bad thing, but I felt as thought I had to play catch up to hear all of the past posts. In addition, it updated to my iPod frequently this week, taking up a bit of space.
Overall, I enjoyed being subscribed to a podcast.
Nice selection and thoughtful response.
