Using iPods to teach English

I see where MP3 players and associated tools (i.e. podcasting) are starting to move into the ESL/EFL classroom.

This story in a Dallas newspaper illustrates how teachers and students use iPods to practice English by listening to songs. As well, I've seen an ESL podcast on iTunes. It wasn't super-great, but people are starting to make use of these portable devices that so many people - especially kids - already possess. As well, I see that there is a presentation at the KOTESOL conference this weekend about podcasting.
