I found the pod casting interesting, and they seem like a good way to get students active in the classroom. I didn't mention in me last blog, but in my jigsaw group discussion my article discussed cross content vocabulary strategies. One of which was a list of academic vocabulary, that all content areas would try to work into their material. These podcast seem like a useful way to go about it. Having one of these podcast as a part of the morning announcements, a daily word, or something.
These podcast also seemed like a good length, I believe they would be an easy way the get even the shy student involved. They can work with an partner, they aren't an excess length. I also like how they gave a little context along with the definition. I feel that more important than having just the definition. It helps students build their schema and can connect with their prior knowledge.
