| Education & Professional Podcasts
|
Podcasting has the potential to become a revolutionary educational tool. Technology has opened access to information on a vast scale previously unknown to man, and soon the word "education' itself will have to be redefined from something that was once the domain of the classroom and the library, to something that is now available to anyone with a computer and the hunger to learn. The podcasts selected here show you how incredible this revolution is becoming. Whether you are a teacher looking for new ways to enliven the classroom, a student in need of a study aid, or a curious person seeking information about new fields of employment, we are proud to share these podcasts for your enjoyment. Professional fields featured here are law, writing, journalism, teaching, and the medical field.
To start learning right now, we have a few podcasts to suggest trying first. For aspiring writers, there's "The Secrets Podcast"; host Micheal Stackpole's useful show focuses on the practical issues needed to get yourself published. For those interested in the medical field listen to "The Journal of Medical Practice Management" podcasts. For an inside look into the legal profession try "The Legal Underground Podcast", or for a look at journalism try NPR's popular "On The Media Podcast".
In the evolving realm of education we recommend both "Connect Learning" and the "One Big Head Podcast", two highly entertaining programs dedicated to how technology is changing the face of education and how teachers are incorporating these revolutionary tools into the classroom. We must also make note of "Research at Chicago", which gives unprecedented access to the brilliant minds working on various forms of cutting edge research. Lastly for the students looking to get into college, there's the Thomson Peterson's three podcasts, "Get an Edge on Tests Podcast", "Get In To College Podcast", and "Get Money for College Podcast". There are so many ways to enrich yourself with audio learning, and many podcasters have jumped on the chance to impart what they've learned to the world. Take a look around, and find the podcast that's best for you. |
