Podcasts have great potential in education! I loved that students can create their own (what better way to learn than to teach?) , and I thought the teacher who created study guide podcasts was really on to something!
As a language arts teacher, I really appreciated the Grammar Girl podcast. (http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/default.aspx) I didn't decide to become a language arts teacher because grammar came so easily to me...it's still tough! What a fun, quick way to help students understand grammar. I would also use The Princeton Review - Vocabulary Minute (http://feeds.feedburner.com/princetonreview). I always liked to have a Word of the Day, etc. in my class and usually used cartoon vocabulary books to help. Songs, though, really stick with kids, so I liked the presentation of the Vocabulary Minute.
