9.21 Podcasts

I found several podcasts I would like to listen to, including ones on literature, and history. I think the ones I would listen to the most right now would be news related, especially the political ones.

I think podcasts could be used as an instructional tool by the reference librarians to reach more students, especially incoming freshmen, in various classrooms. However, I still think face-to-face instruction would be better. But a podcast that could be refered back to may be helpful.
Personally I am a visual learner and would prefer some kind of videocast over an audiocast.

I do think all these different tools could be helpful in aiding students, like myuself, with different learning styles.
