Thing # 17: Podcasts

I have heard of podcast, but never knew much about it.  A podcast is a video broadcast that is heard over the internet through an RSS.  I believe I would enjoy podcasting because I am always on the go and it would probably be easier to listen to while on the go.  I am always listening to the Texas Rangers or Sport station while in my car to and from somewhere and it seems to be similar.
I went to the Grammar girl podcasts and thought this would be a good podcast site for English/Reading teachers. It had many different topics that could help with Grammar such as: commas, prepositions, verbs, punctuating questions,etc.
I also searched for sports through the Grammar Girl site and thought this was very interesting to me. It was titled, "How to teach your Kids to be Good Sports."  This talks about children being so competitive in everything they do such as:  drinking milk the fastest, tying shoes, playing a game, etc.  I believe this can be important because so many do not want to lose at anything and everything should not seem so competitive.
Just about anything can be found through podcasts.
