podcasts

I really like the option of using podcasts for Language Arts. Especially for learning poetry. Sometimes it just takes hearing someone reading the poem for it to sink in. This would be helpful not only in the classroom but in at home when the students are studying. The New Yorker:Fiction has a great podcast that has their latest published fiction. I like this for keeping the students up to date on current literature, which is a lot of times over looked for the classics. Their is also the National Poetry Month and many other poetry websites where student can here the poems read and even discussed.
