I've checked out several other sites and YouTube is still tops in my book.
I've seen a few things on TeacherTube that looked interesting but their selection just can't compare to YouTube. TeacherTube has the added benefit of being classroom friendly; whereas, YouTube can get a bit dicey and isn't always child friendly. I guess there's give and take and a "user beware" mentality to using any element of the internet. It's a shame that we have to constantly keep our guard up for offensive content.
As I revisited the podcasting sites recommended, I found that several of the health related podcasts I selected, had error messages, didn't exist anymore or were called "invalid". I think that is going to be one downfall of the internet, there's so much stuff floating around out there that much of it will not be accessible; forgotten and unmonitored over time. Eventually, how will we know what's new and up to date and what's been floating in cyberspace for decades and is irrelevant?
I did find a few podcasts that I'd like to add to my iPod and listen to on the way to work. I drive about 25 minutes each way and this might be a great way for me to keep up with professional information. I found several university podcasts that highlight trends in exercise and fitness and I can see where these can help me keep up to date and informed in my field. It would be difficult for me to purchase textbooks and literature from unversity courses but I can certainly access grad student podcasts and hear what's going on within their coursework and research.
