PODCASTING! (my favorite idea)

WOW idea! Eliminate in-class lectures, use class time for hands-on activities. Use lectures as HW.

OR create study guides, recorded by teacher. Post a link on class website for students to review.

Addressing the digital divide:

no internet? – copy the podcast to a flash device

no computer? – burn podcast to DVD for TV use
