Vodcast vs. Podcast

When people think of videos the last term that they usually think of is "vodcast". I personally think of the word "youtube" or "video"...why do we need to complicate things? I mean...honestly...if you're going to make a video to teach, make it interesting and fun to watch!!! I do not want to watch a video that I could easily merely listen to. This is what I thought a podcast was for. When I think of a podcast I think of radio or some kind of recorded speech being given. I use podcasts to research information...not to be entertained. I use videos to be entertained...not informed. So, next time I have an option to make a piece of media to use while teaching, I think that I will choose the material based on what I want the students to do. Do I want them to learn on their own or do I want them to be interactive? Podcasts are meant to enforce learning, while videos are meant to guide learning. Vodcasts and podcasts are both useful tools in the technological world, but I personally think that one is greater than the other...and it's based on how students learn!
