Hi Barry and all,

If you go to iTunes and select Podcasts>Education, you can locate a page 
of educational podcasts such as Grammar Girl's Quick and Dirty Lessons. 
You can also access this site at QDnow.com. There are a lot of ELAA 
materials in iTunes for those interested. I cannot claim to have ventured 
much in iTunes, but have at least checked out some of the Grammar Girl's 
podcasts.

Thanks,

Tina

Barry, and others,

I am really enjoying the podcast "Adventures in Transformative Learning," 
which revolves around adult learning.  I am hoping there are more Podcasts 
like this out there... does anyone know of other literacy or ABE podcasts 
available on the Net?

Here's a short list of podcasts in adult education, some for students, 
some for teachers, some for both.

What would you add to this list?

What is a Podcast?
 
Podcasting makes audio files, usually in MP3 format, available for 
download
so you can listen at your convenience. You don't need an IPod; any 
computer
media player can play the files. For students, podcasts are particularly 
useful for ESOL
learning. You can connect to others' lessons or create your own.

Festival of Literacies Podcasts
http://www.literaciesoise.ca/podcast.htm

A podcast project for adult literacy undertaken in Canada by the Festival 
of Literacies, sponsored by the Adult Learning Knowledge Centre, an 
initiative of the Canadian Council on Learning, a national, non-profit, 
independent organization committed to improving learning for all 
Canadians.  There are four podcasts.  Of the four, the first one, Talking 
with Fran and Judi, has very good subject matter, but very poor sound 
quality.  The other three have higher quality audio.The goal of the 
podcasts was to capture research in practice knowledge.
