Break down the classroom walls and give them access to you as a resource anytime, anywhere. Don't feel comfortable making your own? Take advantage of the millons that are out there and connect your students in a way they operate and relate. ||
 * Pod Casting: ** A **podcast** (or non-[|streamed] [|webcast]) is a series of [|digital media] [|files] (either [|audio] or [|video]) that are released episodically and often [|downloaded] through [|web syndication]. The word usurped [|webcast] in common vernacular, due to rising popularity of the [|iPod] and the innovation of [|web feeds].
