Podcast

I have subscribed to Just Vocabulary by Jan Folmer. These podcasts are about 4-5 minutes long each and covers two SAT/ACT vocabulary words per cast. Jan Folmer gives several examples of the word, definitions of the word, and also the spelling. I can see this being a big help to students looking to improve their vocabulary, or their test scores.
I liked how Mr. Folmer introduced and expanded on the words. The podcasts were short enough to keep a student's attention, but long enough to instruct.
One thing that I did not like was the computer voice saying the words. It reminded me of bad telemarketing calls.
