Good video.
It certainly shows that podcasts can be used effetively in the classroom. I think the best ones are the ones where studets make their own. I didn't really see that the teacher reading at the front of the classroom had a huge benefit, but it was certainly something a bit different.
I would worry that if I podcasted allof my classes and posted them on itunes that my students wouldn't listen in class as they could just get the information at home. It also doesn't allow for interaction and group discussion.
Podcasting projects however, I think are excellent andcan really make students think outside the zone.
