For this Thing I looked at some podcasting tutorials and then examined the podcast directories listed in our Discovery Resources. I used iTunes to subscribe to the NovaScienceNow podcast. Podcast.net doesn't seem to exist any more, or at least I could not find it. Using the Educational Podcast Directory I also subscribed to One Big Head, which is a podcast by Jeff Moore-- (Observations, philosophy, opinions, unsubstantiated rumors, flotsam and jetsam--the desk of a typical educational technology specialist). You can check this podcast out at One Big Head.
I found a wide variety of podcasts available from these directories, including author podcasts and podcasts on podcasting. I discovered lots of good podcasts for science subjects and quite a few podcasts for book reviews. When I searched for 'library news' I found lots of podcasts from libraries around the country.
Podcasting seems like a good activity for students. Last year I worked with a teacher at our school to record and post some book review podcasts on our school website. We kept it very basic and parents and students enjoyed listening to the podcasts.
I am sure that we will try to refine things this year.
And I am including a picture of Chitina with this post because I just got back from there.
