They&#8217;ve been doing amazing work for a long time now.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAside from my affection for CBC and Radio 3, I was also excited about this podcast for another important reason: listening to it will become a weekly assignment for my fall seminar on Canadian culture. <a href=\"http:\/\/radio.blogware.com\/blog\/_archives\/2005\/5\/25\/884867.html\">Todd blogged about this course<\/a> earlier in the week, and I&#8217;m just finally getting around to announcing it here.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nOne of the exciting things about this course is that I&#8217;ve been awarded a grant that will allow me to outfit all 21 students with iPods (well, I have enough cash for iPods for 15 students but am trying to drum up a few more bucks). The iPods will be loaded with Canadian music, course materials, and will be outfitted with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.griffintechnology.com\/products\/italk\/index.php\">Griffin&#8217;s iTalk<\/a> microphones which will allow the students to create their own podcasts about Canada. Their main podcasting assignment will be to document their class fieldtrip to Ottawa partway through the semester.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI&#8217;ll be blogging more in the coming weeks about podcasting and the development of my course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Probably the best news of the day for me came via Todd Maffin&#8217;s i love radio.org blog.
