Tune In: Education Podcasting Network
September 19, 2007
Podcasts are forcing themselves into the mainstream, but most of the time, the choices of what to listen to look like a college radio station’s line-up. If you like podcasting, or the idea of podcasting, or maybe you just want to see what all the fuss is about, why not do something useful at the same time? EPN is the Education Podcast Network, and allows you to actually put some useful information into that brain of yours.
You may remember a poster that featured a famous cartoon orange cat with a book strapped to his head. A caption underneath read: “I’m learning by osmosis!” or something to that effect. Now you can do essentially the same thing by utilizing that expensive iPod for something other than Amy Winehouse’s gentle crooning. EPN allows users to download subscriptions of podcasts ranging from Language Arts to Math, and a bundle of helpful subscriptions specifically to help teachers. The site is easy to manage, and you’ll find something fun and useful no matter what subject you teach. –JEREMY S. GRIFFIN
