Review: Sansa Clip 1 GB

I’m really enjoying the Sansa Clip 1 GB MP3 players I purchased for my classroom last year. I think my students are enjoying them, as well. My students have used them to record interviews, practice their fluency in reading, and listen to audiobooks, among other projects. I’ve used the recording feature to record Spelling tests and voice notes for later review.

My podcast A-list

John Sowash wrote a post mentioning his favorite podcasts, so I thought I’d post my top-list.

  • 4 Guys Talking – Scott Mcleod et. al discuss the big questions in education, and the try to sort them out.
  • CBC Radio: Spark – This Canadian radio show seems to cover geeky tech, biotech, and tech and culture really well.
  • EdTechTalk – There’s something for every educator with shows covering leadership, classroom practice, and, of course, educational technology.
  • Learning Matters with John Merrow – He’s been covering American education for years. Recently, he and his colleagues have conducted excellent interviews with leaders in both New Orleans and D.C.
  • Harvard Business IdeaCast – The best in leadership talk.
  • MacBreak Weekly – Leo Laporte recently had Levar Burton as guest. He’s the Reading Rainbow guy and he’s a Mac-head!
  • Mars Hill Bible Church – Rob Bell teaches a little more than half the weekend sermons. All the teaching at this church is thought provoking and Christ-centered.
  • Neue Ministry – Church leadership interviews from the Relevant Magazine crew.
  • NPR: Live Concerts from All Songs Considered – I highly recommend Radiohead, Belle and Sebastian, and Jose Gonzalez.
  • NPR: Planet Money – Coverage of the financial crisis and simple explanations of how it happened and how it may get better.
  • Steve Brown, Etc. – I just started listening to this interview show hosted by a Rerformed Theological Seminary Prof. Really deep discussions, but really funny at the same time.
  • This American Life – The best storytelling in any media, bar none.
  • 60 Minutes Podcast – I work on Sunday nights, so I don’t get to watch 60 Minutes on CBS. Fortunately, they post the full audio from the show on iTunes weekly.
