Miguel Guhlin found this video and I thought it makes a powerful statement about using podcasts as a professional development tool. Watch it here
I truly feel that podcasts are an easy way for teachers to develop new skills, hone established one, or just find out what other professionals in education are doing. I was doing that when Bob Sprankle was doing his Room 208. He was giving me ideas of how to incorporate blogging and podcasting into the classroom. Social Studies teachers have no excuses as each of the nightly news from the networks are podcasted, as well as Meet the Press and Face the Nation (talk about current events on demand). Apple Computer, through iTunes, has made it so easy to get to podcasts.
If you haven’t tried listening to podcasts what are you waiting for (you don’t need an iPod).

Thanks for the link Michael…Weird I subscribe to Miguel’s blog but missed it. That’s why I encourage folks to post even if they’re sure others may have seen it because there’s lots that miss it the first time. I’m going to use this for an upcoming podcast workshop.
