I think it can go both ways because by using online
chating can speed up a teacher to student process if the student needs help. Many unique different task can be used. Now, on the other hand it can be a very big distraction because the students could be

In some sort video games could help you out with study because it teaches you how to be focus on a topic that your interested in. Like the article said accuracy is mostly used when playing the games. As for myself I never thought that video games could help improve studying habit but i guess everyone is different on a way.
Podcasting could enhance learning because it falls under the catergory of mutimedia and most kids would like to be taught with that tool.
