Useful Websites , Blogs, and Podcasts: .

• Richard Lyons, of Faculty Development Associates, has one of the most comprehensive lists of online resources for professors, but most of these are not philosophy specific.
• Philosophy Learning and Teaching Organization (PLATO). This website is a very thorough on-line resource for people who are teaching pre-college philosophy. There is, however, much of interest here to college teachers as well.
• Closer to Truth is a PBS series with programs on various philosophical topics, including episodes on consciousness and God.
• PhilosophyExperiments.com. This amusing website has a lot of philosophical thought experiments, such as a variation on the trolley problem. 
• Podcasts.  Our students are constantly plugged into their iPods listening to music, but there are also many interesting podcasts of philosophy talks and lectures. There appears to be an amazing amount of philosophy content available already on Apple's iTunes University. The first step is to download a free copy of the iTunes software. Once in the iTunes screen, just entering a word in the search box such as epistemology brings up a number of relevant podcasts including a "Philosophy for Beginners" course from Oxford. TΦ101 has not yet found a systematic way to search what is available.  Some other podcasts of interests are: Philosophy Talk (www.philosophytalk.org/) is a Public Radio program from Stanford University on KALW San Francisco.  For example, they have a recent program on Stoicism that interviews John Cooper from Princeton but also includes discussions of the movie Gladiator, and for less formal podcasts, check out The Partially Examined Life (also available on iTunes).  
• PLATO (Philosophy Learning and Teaching Organization) offers a wide variety of resources for  people interested in pre-college philosophy instruction.
