I liked the idea of the Education Podcast Network but many of the links I clicked on were dead ends. Also, many of them were over a year old and no new ones posted recently. Podcast Alley seemed okay until I started exploring more and then the word sex came up every where (or at least it seemed to). I don't care for the big search engines like google and yahoo so I'll be honest I didn't even try that. (Plus, I have to get these done by Friday and I was busy downloading iTunes)
iTunes is a bit overwhelming until I remembered from the video to click on podcasts (I started by searching TV Shows). So a thing not mentioned is that some of the stuff on iTunes is free while others is not. But again this reminds me a lot of the blogs. Why do I want to subsrcibe to these podcasts? I don't even have time to watch the news. I did subscribe to the book talk podcast listed in Thing 12.
One of my kids has an MP3 player and one has an iPod. I have been trying to figure out the difference between them because I know I would like to download books to listen to, I know my sister does this, but just random podcasts that I have searched for? I'm not sure if I would do that. Although, I would like to try the booktalks out on students next fall.

Wow, you're really moving along.
I like iTunes a lot because I think it has much better quality podcasts than some of the other search tools. You mentioned that you wondered about the difference between an iPod and an MP3 player. An iPod is one brand of MP3 player. Either would work with downloaded books as long as the files are MP3 files.
I didn't mean to indicate that everything on iTunes is free - just the podcasts.

Thanks for the clarification.
