Podcast & videothread

Podcasts are valuable because you can subscribe to a podcast about almost anything and therefore do not have to worry about the schools' audio and video resources having the content you want. The audio or video files are easily delivered to your computer via the internet and are prerecorded so you can look at them at anytime. One problem is they can be done by anyone so the person and information may not all be fact.

Videothreads allow people to show images, documents, and video. A great feature of videothreads are people can leave comments on the images, documents and/or videos in a variety of formats including voice(with a microphone or phone), text, audio file, or video. I think students would appreciate feedback in a variety of forms and they also might be more insightful because they could express their feedback in a preferred medium. Also the doodling is a good aspect to add emphasis, but potentially students could abuse it and be inappropriate so it would have to be closely monitored.
