T.H.E. Journal is a great publication for those interested in exploring what's going on in the world of education, written in plain English, and at a level the less technical, who are interested in a "practical, hands-on" level of technology, can understand.

Recently, they published an article called "Podcasts: Where's the Learning?" by Patricia Deubel Ph D.

This insightful article discusses whether podcasts are effective learning tools. Clearly, podcasts are a part of the learners "toolkit", and as this article points out, we who are looking at podcasts as a learning tool, need to become aware of its strengths as well as weaknesses.

Note: circulation of over 90,000 T.H.E. is the largest circulated education technology monthly publication.
