Hi! Diana. It was lovely to hear from you. Am a college teacher and sometimes I use a Power-Point presentation for my college teaching. However, the first-year students find that difficult but the teacher-trainees seem to enjoy it very much. . I am hearing of a podcast for the first time . Can you explain what is it and if it would help me in my teaching? Thanks.Can you also explain the full form of AEP SS? Here, the designations are different.Hoping to hear from you soon. Bye. Neeta
