Podcasts in Education

While doing research for my PowerPoint presentation on educational podcasts, I found many useful resources for educators. These links include general podcast information, podcast search engines, and educational podcast web sites. I never really thought about all of the possibilities of podcasts in the classroom. My favorite idea for using podcasts in class, was to have the students create a walking tour of their town for visitors to download. The students can have fun learning the history of their town while incorporating technology in the classroom.

Alanna,
The idea of your students doing a walking tour of their town is a great tidea.The students could follow up with interviews of older town residents to get more information on the town's history. I look forward to seeing your presentation today.
