Podcasts in the Classroom

I watch a podcast from necc that was a presentation by  Craig Nansen and Camilla Gagliodo: Podcasts in the Classroom. The presenters are apple distinguished educators from the class of 2007. Nansen states that in education most uses of podcast are not really true podcasts because podcasts are produced on a regular basis. Although these recording are not true podcasts they can be used for recording field trips, Performances, science experiments and other special projects.  Their presentation went though what a podcast is, where to find them, tools used to create them as well some other areas of podcasting.  I felt that our tech cadre sessions through buhler schools have done a good job at covering this topic.  I was hoping for a bit more or something different from this podcast.  Although this session was not for tech cadre grads it would sure be a good one for beginners.
