Khan Academy
The Khan Academy is a series of podcasts / webcasts that are now part of a complete online learning environment that are already being used in schools around the country to turn the current educational model upside down. Students instead of being taught in class concepts they are given the podcasts to watch on their own time as homework and when they meet in class they then can work through the problems in a supported environment. The idea is that the learner can pause - rewind - replay at their own pace and will never miss a single thing the presenter is sharing with them. More information about the Khan Academy can be found at their website here.

This podcast suite is currently being used in my classroom as a remediation tool to assist students who are struggling working in their teams or have difficulties due to attendance. Although the Khan Academy goes further than just podcasts, as it has an entire online assessment tool available that is extremely robust for both the student and the educator. At present when students miss class or are struggling with a particular concept I simply direct them to the podcast for them to view at their leisure.
