Very comprehensive guide to blended learning

I have found a new favorite podcast "how to" site. I learned about this a few weeks ago and have been going through a lot of their videos. Common Craft take the old fashioned "paper doll" or puppet theater methodology and basically creates a podcast out of it. Instead of a children's story, they try to explain more difficult concepts. \n\nThe one on Twitter is still their most hit podcast, and it is really great too.\n\nI liked to the podcast on RSS feeds because of my webinar.
