OK, so I had two students who I have felt were not quite sold on the value of podcasts and living in my virtual biology class 24/7. But yesterday one of these two students told me that he had spent some time using the podcasts, website and blog – and his quote: “It’s the best – It’s like having a teacher there with you all the time!” – (”no kidding – that’s what the rest of the class have been realising all along”). The other student – so I found out this morning – bought an iPod last night. Why? to listen to my podcasts. She had borrowed one of the ones Rita gave – i mean loaned – us for the weekend (she hadn’t wanted to, mind you, I had to practically force it into her hand and said ‘I really want you to listen to these this weekend’. – Anyway, all it took was one weekend listening to podcasts (there was nothing else on there to listen to) to convince her that she needed to have one all the time. No doubt now that she has an iPod of her own she will put some music on it as well. Aparrently some students use iPods for music! Who knew?
