Thing 12

I found all the podcasts I explored interesting. I used the link “go here” to the educational podcast wiki :
http://podcasting-in-education.wikispaces.com/Examples+of+Educational+Podcasts
I have to admit I stopped the RESA podcast to write each link out and then found that you had this wonder link to all the sites and more. I spent over 4 hours looking at podcasts and boy time flies when you are having fun.

I subscribed to the following ones:
Science Friday: http://www.sciencefriday.com/feeds/radio/ and LD podcast: http://www.ldpodcast.com/ I also enjoyed the information from this podcast: The Tech Pod Zone: http://www.psucast.com/techpodzone/ I liked the information they gave in their 64 Christmas Wish list. They had lots to say about different site. I also learned about a site called TrailFire: http://www.trailfire.com You could use this site for web quests and other activities. I enjoyed Mr. Coley’s page and podcasts as well. I would like to set up a web page like his. I am going to check out our website and see if I can do more with it this summer.

I have used United Streaming in the classroom for at least two years now and these podcasts can be used like that to start a lesson or reinforce a lesson.
I would like to be able to have my students create podcasts but I have a lot of work to do before I get there. Hopefully this summer I can master it.
