Podcasts are fantastic! It allows me to subscribe to a talk show, music, or speaking series of some kind. I have used iTunes Podcasts in the past and have really enjoyed them. I like to download sermons and listen to them in my truck when I travel long distances.
For this thing, I listened to The Tech Teachers, The Math Factor Podcast, and Why? The Science Show for Kinds. I found some of these very interesting and actually subscribed to the Why? The Science Show for Kids. I think this will be a great place to look for conversations to start debates in my AT Science classroom next year. I think podcasts are a great way to get a variety of perspectives from both professionals and amatures about any topic you can imagine. It can be a form of research, if it is coming from a credible source, or an interesting series of facts to spark conversation.
Students could also get many ideas for projects and presentations through podcasts. They could be inspired to present a project by a podcast that grasped their attention.
