The podcast that I chose was called the Algebra II Podcast from Dublin City Schools. It was a little dry, but it is a great resource for students to go to for those nights that they forgot what we learned at school that day. It is visual and auditory for the students so it's like they are in class but maybe are able to see another way of it being taught rather than just my own methods. There are also excellent reviews for before quizzes and tests. The producer Troy Dramble goes through different lessons and points dealing with Algebra II within each episode. The episodes fall between three and thirteen minutes and have a good description so the students are able to go directly to what they need.
I really enjoyed the visuals because they look as though they are the actual images from the SMARTBoard that the professor uses. They are things that the students will be able to relate to within their book or notes and make a comparison to their own homework and study for tests.
I can see how I would be able to do something similar in my own classroom if I were to take the time and broadcast my own lessons. I think this would be a great idea for the students to be able to create as well if they were able to show how they solve the problems themselves. This would also be good for the parents to see what it is that their children are trying to learn.

It sounds great. I will check it out. I was a former math teacher and always have interest in interesting ways to broadcast math concepts.

Hey, that's my teacher! My teacher once showed your blog to our class before! Recently, he received two fan mails -- one from a university and another from a teacher who was curious on how he made his videos, because it looked so "professional".
