I felt a bit overwhelmed trying to wade through the podcast directories, but I did find two podcasts that looked interesting. I subscribed to one, SmartBoard Lessons, through iTunes and another, Just One More Book!, through Google Reader. I especially like the idea of listening to book reviews! I will try listening to some episodes and see if I find that these are valuable resource. I do like the idea of being able to take the podcasts with me wherever I go. This portability makes them very useful.
At this point, I think I am more interested in creating podcasts than listening to them. I have a project I've been doing with first graders the past few years. Up until now I've been recording their retelling of wordless books using Garage Band and burning the recordings onto cds. I would like to explore VoiceThreads and some other sites to see about creating recordings. I think it would be fun to publish them online so that parents and other kids could listen to them.
I have also spoken with our Naturalist about the possibility of having the kids create podcast tours of the wetlands next to our school.This is an area I would like to explore some more!
