Up until recently, the term podcasting was foreign to me, and then I found out it is a fairly common method of sending messages via the internet. Podcasting is the concept of downloading and streaming an online audio or video broadcast. It enables communication for personal, professional or educational purposes through a more proficient way. It allows one to save content digitally and replay it at their convienence, even when not online.
In the fall of 2004, Duke University issued all of their incoming freshman a new ipod with the idea that it would allow their students the opportunity to have access to learning in a non-traditional way. Having the flexibility to listen to lectures and take notes other than regularly scheduled class times gives the students added assurance in succeeding in school. Learning in this nature definately gives the student added marketability when it comes time to execute a career.
I think that more schools, businesses and individuals should look at the advantages of staying on top of the current technological trends and get involved early instead of being forced to learn what everyone else already knows. This class has opened my eyes into the amazing and exciting options we all have at the tip of our fingers.

I agree that this will be an advantage for students when they do begin their career because it will give them the chance to multitask and be aware of how all sorts of technology works.
I also agree that it will force them in a way to use the technology provided rather than have it just as an option.
