You surely wouldn't begrudge the medical profession some extra work - helping to keep the wolf from the door and all that. For a man who embraced the Internet so early I'm surprised at you coming over all Luddite. What's that you say - "Ipod Shmipod"?? The jury may still be out, but Fred's links, as and when he posts them, may prove interesting. (And yes, I got the theme from the WordPress site.) Trevor, times are hard, jobs scarce.

Should we be encouraging 'surgical attachment'? Won't they all have brain tumours - or is that just mobile phones? (Hate the wretched things!). Even though I've been using a Mac for almost 20 years, I don't have an ipod! (There are several in the house though). PS. Gordon. Where/how did you get your apparently highly personalised Wordpress theme? Can't find Andreas09 on his website. (Oh, I've just realised I'm no longer on your webpages). Maybe 09 is still on the Wordpress site? OH well,

Your point about "surgical attachment" is one that Mark makes equally forcefully in the podcast to which José's above blog entry points. You should be able to navigate easily to One Minute Gaelic via the Radio Lingua website. The direct link is http://rlnvault.com/rln09/category/shows/oml-gaelic/. Any more links, particularly in relation to HE, certainly welcome. Fred, thanks for the comment and links.

You'll be aware of Ruaridh MacIlleathain's <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/alba/foghlam/learngaelic/litir/" rel="nofollow">Litir do Luchd-Ionnsachaidh</a> I'm sure, but there's also the <a href="http://www.gaelcast.com" rel="nofollow">Gaelcast</a> podcast, and probably many others which I've not yet heard of. There'll be stacks of educational podcasts in other languages I'm sure, and of course national broadcasters like BBC, RNE, RAI etc make much of their material available as MP3 for download. Learning with mobile devices in general, 'M-Learning', is a <em>Big Thing</em> these days in higher education, to connect with the younger generation for whom mobile devices seem surgically attached to their bodies. I'll post some links here later. What's your One Minute Gaelic series? Could you post a link or an example?
