Podcasts are definitely a thing of the near future. Students will absolutely love these. Several podcasts were unable to open. I viewed several from Education Podcast Network - Middle School category: Owl Bytes - The History of Technology and Cranbook Composers Podcast - KMS Podcast #7. The History of Technology was about Sony so you might be interested in hearing and seeing this. There were a few pictures to accompany the story.
Students will be able to create podcasts for anything and everything. It will be very easy for teachers with the new Mac computers to create podcasts with their students. I went through the MISD librarians class and found several suggestions for podcasts. I tried Storynory for children's literature podcasts. Book Voyages files were not found when I clicked on various episodes. I listened to a podcast from David Warlick's Connect learning. The text of the podcast was there as well as the audio. Before he went into his conversation with Chris Lehman, he explained how one of his podcasts had been porn-spam linked. This is is most frightening thing about all this technology. Not only do we have to deal with identity theft, but we must be concerned about others attacking our students podcasts. YA Bookcast did not work either. I believe that podcasts will be part of our students educational experience. However, it will take a while before we get teachers on board with this tool.
