I will not attempt to use podcasting in my future classroom. It requires students to own computers and an internet connection, and some students simply cannot afford that. Aside from that, I believe a full podcast lesson would be large in size and require a high-speed internet connection.
Offering it as a supplementary resource is just giving students with computers and internet connections an advantage, in addition to those they already have.

You bring up interesting points. The fairness issue definitely is true. Would you, however, allow students to make podcasts if your school had a computer lab with the appropriate technology?
I have never heard the negative side of podcasting and you make a great point.Although I will try my best to incorporate podcasting in my classroom, I also think that it will be hard to fund this process. Hopefully my future school will embrace podcasting and provide my classroom with equipment.
