Now that you have learned about Podcasting and podcasts, please use one or several of the podcast search engines to find a podcast that you might be interested in listening to. It can be professional or personal.
Download and listen to the podcast. (I have headphones) Listen to the podcast and post information about the podcast you listened to. What podcast was it? What was your impression of it?
Do you see podcasting as a tool for learning in your classroom with either teacher or student created podcasts?

I listened to a podcast by Parents Magazine about developing healthy sleep habits in children. They shared information about why sleep is important for children/parents, the importance of bedtime routines, and why children should learn to fall asleep on their own. This is the first time I have listened to a podcast before. I liked it because I can find specific topics I am interested in and listen to it while doing somethig else. And I do not have to listen to an entire radio "show" that has topics that might not interest me. I think podcasts might be useful in the classroom but probably with students who are doing more enrichment activities.
I started listening to a podcast called "Are we there yet?" This is a family podcast for adults. A married couple share things that go on in their family, as well as, their opinions on things. I didn't finish listening to it; however, because I grew tired of hearing the husband drop the "F-bomb". which must have been a lot in order for it to bother me considering who I am married to :) Anyway... I think the students would enjoy putting together podcasts, especially the high achieving or creative students. They could even do research on a historical figure and prepare and interview with factual information, then record it as a podcast instead of creating a video.
I am waiting for a radio program to download called Bad dads radio. Hopfully it is pretty amusing.
I listened to CNBC's Mad Money (Jim Kramer). It was a little hard on the ears after a while and it did not hold my interest too long. Kramer gives stock tips in a wild, often loud manner.
I am not sure how I would use podcasts in a math classroom. Math education needs to be visual and active. The podcast lends itself to the lecture which is something that I think most educators are trying to get away from.
I was listening to a pod cast that Mark had playing before I left today. I thought that while I might like these, I probably wouldn't use them in the classroom. Then I went home and looked up the pod cast directory in itunes. I spent way too much time in the National Geographic: Wild Chronicles. I found a video clip from National Geographic on Bats that my science kids would love. There are a lot of videos to choose from, and the quality was much better than the united streaming videos. Guess I'm hooked. I’m loading itunes on my laptop.
I chose to listen to the Thomas Friedman podcast that you suggested. This was the first podcast I ever listened to. The first podcasts I heard about were those of tv shows, and I wondered why you would want to listen to only the audio of a tv show. I chose to listen to a speech, since I thought it would be easier to follow than a tv show.
The podcast was a little difficult to listen to, not because it wasn't interesting, but because it was a difficult to sit and listen. I think it would be great to download some for a car trip.
I'm not really sure how it would be used in the classroom. It think it could be really neat. Maybe at the end of a project, kids could record a reflection about the project and post it on my webpage for parents.
I choose to listen to to a podcast called "Fitness Rocks". It was a telephone interview with a doctor explaining tips on how to keep a healthy lifestyle. His tips were: to eat 5 vegetables, exercise 150 min. a week, maintain a healthy weight, and to not smoke.
This is my first experience with a podcast. I'd like to search further for podcasts that I could share in health class about healthy eating and exercise. In the past, I have used united streaming clips which keeps the students engaged. I'd be curious to see if students stay as engaged without the visual portion? An in class project idea could be for students to create a podcast using healthy living information that we have talked about in class. I can see them getting very excited about creating their own podcasts!
I listened to a podcast last night from comedian Phil Hendrie. He hosted a radio call-in show where the callers would not turn down their radios, despite the 5-second delay. He did all of the voices himself - it was very funny. I can see using some humorous audio to begin class - get their attention before we get started.
I downloaded "Nobody Likes Onions". Very interesting young guys talking about a chipped tooth. I'm not sure I should put much more of the content in this comment, because my face would get way too red...Enjoyed it; but, I think maybe my age is a deterrant to the total enjoyment.
Maybe it could be a way for a student to "broadcast" an essay rather than writing it or standing up in front of the class and being terribly nervous...
In the counseling setting, a student could practice how they'd like to speak to someone about an issue prior to confronting the person. Maybe they could even send the podcast, if they aren't comfortable with face-to-face.
I am a big fan of the video podcasts. Most of my experience has been through using Apple's iTunes. I love the format and find it easy to use and organize. PBS & National Geographic have posted some great material and I love that most are short. I found one podcast called Rolling R's that are short little Spanish language lessons. I often show different podcasts in the background of the class while students are working and encourage them to find ones that they like.
I don't feel ready to post my own podcasts...kind of like I avoid doing much publishing of student work online or via other methods like video...it's always an extra step...I feel like I should be incorporating more of this kind of thing and with the MS getting a big LCD projector for our cafeteria, it seems our work can reach a captive audience ;).
