Lloyd provides excellent coverage of the podcasting conference in London. Fascinating insight into a variety of different factors within the podcast scene.
Personally found the overview of Milverton Wallace's talk very informative. I have been trying to encourage my wife to use this with her infant class. Must point her at this.
As an ex-teacher it always fascinates me how people learn and perhaps more importantly how people learn outside of conventional approaches. This type of approach would have been excellent for the type of Open and felxible learning that I wished to advocate, particularly if you could mix and match topics that interest you whilst still gaining a good coverage of curriculum areas.
feedback loop does seem to be an issue but I am sure it could be overcome.I know I always learn more explaining something to other people - firstly becuase it clarifies it for me and secondly because they always have a different perspective and ask the questions I've missed - fascinating to do this via podcasts or comments around a lecture. An informal seminar. Brilliant.
Think I should try this...
