One of the great features of blogging is that it can be in many formats. Many blogs are written texts like ours but many others are in audio (podcast) or video (vlog) format. Some blogs use all three formats.
Podcasting is similar to free radio on the internet but it's free and it's produced by people like you and me. If you've seen the KNUE Podcast, you'll know that podcast or audio blog might have a player like this. Click the play button to hear a message from Nicole

Actually, I usually used blogger as a good tool for education.
I made a kind of cafe for my students and they used to upload some homeworks.
Also, I leave a message for my students.
Podcast looks difficult for me as a teaching material if I record my voice.
But, through other materials it might be very useful, such as radio programs, advertisements, etc.
Hi, Nicole
All thd podcast are very good and they're dealing with different issues. And I think some are very helpful and some are a little difficult to use in my middle school classes. I like Food Wishes and ESLpod and Kinderplayer pod: we can see the video clip and cooking through Club Activity in my school. And I think I can use blogger to upload materials that I didn't teach in class because of shortage of time.
Hi~ Nicole~
It's good to hear your beau~~~tiful voice here. Thank you for the your answers on my blog, too.
You're asking quite a intellectual question. As a podcast listener, I just want to say that l'm enjoying the program. I like the special guest section most. In the latest show, I could hear Lieutenant Horasio's wonderful voice. It was fantastic!
From my experience, we, English teachers can use various kinds of blogs to make our students interested in Egnlsih. The important thing is we should make lots of efforts choosing good materials and managing the blog.
Take care~~~
