i chose MIT opencourseware. the course i picked was 21m.263 Music since 1960, spring 2006, and the instructor was professor Brian Robison. on thing i learned about the course was that you have to make four reviews and anallize the performances. and another thing i learned is that you have a term paper and a presentation. i would say that this is a good course to take if thats what your intrested in, and you can learn enough just by looking on the course ware. it seems to be very helpful with searching for classes you may want to take.

podcast are a cool way to look at certain things and have them so you could watch them anywhere you go. its a really neat idea but, i think that you could watch the news, or just regular TV. i think podcast are for those busy people who are always on the go.i guess its a cool new method to view news and watch TV shows. yes this is a very big development, and you can do many different things with podcast. personally i wouldn't use it too much, because i would rather watch tv. but if i didnt ever have time to watch tv, it would be a nice way to keep updated on my information.
