Video podcast or vodcast is a term used for the online delivery of video. This term is used to distinguish between podcasts which most commonly contain audio files. Web television series are often distributed as video podcasts.
Nowdays we can use this technology to teach English. Since children or teenagers are tech fans we have to look for new ways to approach to them. Because if now they have Facebook, Ipods and Cellphones; we cannot go to the front of the class with a marker or chalk in hands. Score: Teacher 0 Tech 100.
Now we have these tools and I think is imperative to use them. Since a vodcast or podcast are easy to transfer from one PC to a portable device. It is an excellent way to teach or practice English.

With this video a student can learn about Past Simple easily. And if it is in his/her portable device the student can watch it as many times he/she wants and in that way the student can review the content or check it out whenever he wants.
