Just my thoughts…
I have found Podcasts to be very interesting. I created a podcast last spring for black history month. My students loved it! I’ve also seen podcasts used as a way for students to have a weekly school broadcast. It didn’t seem too difficult and I thought of having my students create a monthly podcast to reflect upon the month objectives (with guidance of course). I used audacity when creating my podcast. It worked very well. Transferring file to MP3 was a challenge but nothing too difficult.

The only podcasts that I have listened to are from itunes. They are really easy to find using the program. I have subscribed to the National Geographic podcasts and I use them all the time in my classroom. They are great for science and my kids love them. I was introduced to them in the spring and I let my kids create one at the end of the year. I used Audacity and they recorded a story that had written. It was a great activity that I will continue to do each year.
Even though I use them in my room, I still don’t really know that much about them. I think that we will be hearing more about them in the schools. For anyone that is not familiar, itunes has them listed by categories such as education, music, science, health, etc. and they are really easy to access. I am going to have to check out the other resources for podcasts that are listed. It is one of those amazing tools that we have at our fingertips and best of all they are free!

[...] Podcasting. Podcasting didn’t exist before September, 2004. I first got interested in the technology in November of 2004 when I started listening to Adam Curry’s “Daily Source Code.” At the time, there were, maybe 200 podcasters. Today, there are thousands. The second anniversary of podcasting has just gone past and the tools are beginning to get some attention so let’s spend some time bringing you up to speed. [...]

[...] Last year I wrote about Podcasting as an exotic tool. I’m interested that the notion of podcasting is moving into the “Basic Toolbox”. [...]
