I checked out each of the podcast directories and I liked Educational Podcast Directory as well as the Learning Out Loud directory. I thought these two were easier to use and they didn't get into risky material from the few clicks that I did. On the Educational Podcast Directory I really enjoyed the classroom and student podcasts. I watched a sweet
2nd Grade Production about
Turtles that was anchored by two 2nd graders. It was just adorable and had good information too! The podcast is called
Discovery Through a Scientific Lens. This would be a great podcast to download to school computers for students to listen to during anchor activities.
This Thing did not really inspire me to create my own podcast but it did inspire me to look up some of my favorite shows from NPR. My two favorite shows are
Wait Wait Don't Tell Me and
Car Talk. I used to drive around Saturday mornings running errands just so I could catch these programs. Now I am thrilled to have subscribed to these podcasts so that I can begin loading them on my iphone and listening to them all week long!
