1. Podcasts are audio or visual files that are played on a computer. They can be focused on an endless number of topics.

2. I would probably not create my own podcasts in the classroom, but I could definitely use ones that others have created to share with my students. For little kids, it might be helpful to them to see people modeling things for them or to hear something new and exciting. Kids get excited to do new things, so I am sure hearing a lesson or something like that on the computer would be cool for them.

3. The pros would be that it would be a new and interesting way for kids to learn and it could teach things that could not be taught in the classroom. The cons would be that if it used to much, it is very impersonal and kids need hands-on learning.
