One would think that veinte cosas into this thing, that I would read ahead and just combine posts. Nonetheless, I have not. I wrote about my success with DiscoverSpanish in my last blog. I really like the elementary approach to Spansih that the podcast takes and I am hoping to find some supplementary information to combine with the podcasts so that I can use them in class.
I found that ITunes was the most user friendly podcast browser. Visually, the ITunes search was the most visually pleasing. The Avatars for each podcast give the consumer an idea of the crowd that the podcast is targeting, while the ranking and reviews explain the quality of the podcasts. These features allowed me to invest my time more efficiently. Using the Education Podcast Network, I found that it was more difficult to measure the utility of a podcast because there was not a ranking system and the actual search was quite difficult. Using search engines like Google and Yahoo, I struggled to find good podcast because many of those podcasts required a fee in order to access the content.
