I think podcasting still is an avenue for education that has yet to be fully tapped in its power of communication. I follow 50 or 60 podcasts on a regular basis on a wide range of subjects; TED Talks, Pandora Musicology Shows, Tips from the Top Floor, Cleveland City Club are among my favs.

The amount of information one has access to through the web is really amazing. Often you may find the need to take notes on things as you hear them for future reference and that is great if you have pencil and paper handy. I choose to listen to podcasts often while I am waiting in line, riding in a car, or walking. What to do?

Footnote for Iphone and Touch has answered the need. This application allows you to record an audio note and interface it with the podcast with a time date stamp without leaving the player of the podcast.

I think that many different types of students may find this useful if your teacher or professor uses podcasting as part of your classwork. I have really found it to be a useful addition to my apps on the phone and have not regretted the $5.00 price I paid for the app.

You can download the app in the App Store and also learn more about it here: http://www.audiofootnote.com/
