Thing #17- Podcasting

I think Podcasts are a great tool for the classroom and sharing ideas with other teachers!

I previewed the following Podcasts : Why? The Science Show for Kids podcast &
60 Second Science

I really enjoyed the 60 second science...it would be a fun introduction to add to my classroom. Even if the videos are not alwyas on topic with my current lesson, they offer

I would definitely use the directories Education Podcast Network & Learn Out Lou...but I am still most comfortable and familiar with iTunes

Our Science Coordinator currently uses Podcasts to post when he is trying to explain a new concept or introduce 6 weeks previews to all the teachers at once. He has also used it to share ideas or explain how to use certain equipment in the classroom.
I think this is a great idea and easy way to share information when teachers are so busy and have trouble all meeting at the same place or time.

iTunes is user friendly and I have enjoyed using it for music purposes to search, download and upload!
