Pod Casting

For those jumping into the digital age this something that you could do very easily for your students. A podcast is just an audio broadcast on the Internet. A good service to develop a pod cast is called Gcast and it allows you to make a broadcast right from your own home phone. This service allows you to review daily lectures, homework assigments etc.. Furthermore it develops a code that allows you to review things and leave a broadcast on your blog. Great for lectures, book readings etc..

I have included this because this video correlates to the school environment and school of choice. If you just change the pickle concept and replace it with the school concepts such as school of choice, IB program, CPC, Butcher, On-line credit recovery, etc.. then it makes all the sense in the world to do the things that we are doing.
