It's very important to provide the students with the best possible learning podcasts. You can find a lot of education podcasts links in a new site Learn On The Go - education & learning podcast directory. It contains carefully selected educational and instructional podcasts covering wide variety of topics and aims to promote the use of audio and video podcasting learning materials for personal and professional development. Very recommended for students, teachers and everyone interested in spending his/her spare time for learning.

[...] Wes Fryer recently posted a “KWL on podcasting and levels of adoption and integration of podcast”, but it really applies to all technologies that you are in the process of learning. Being at different stages is a good thing and we can learn from each other. [...]

That is great Pam, thanks for sharing that link! I added a link to it at the top of my podcasting wiki curriculum.

I agree Andrew. The opportunities are great but the resources and learning opportunities seem quite limited. I am reminded of the saying, “the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.” I think the challenges highlight the importance of getting our students on board formally in providing both technical and instructional support for teachers and their peers in schools. The GenYes session I saw at TCEA last week was all about that, and I think the premise is solid. Our schools are understaffed now for tech support, with 1:1 projects looming on the horizon there is no way we are going to be able to keep up if we don’t think different and work together (including working with the students) to address all the challenges. I don’t think the old, traditional ways of pushing out technology and trying to support it will work, especially in 1:1 learning environments.

Thanks for the comments.

Wes, I see the benefit of the Podcast in the classroom and do think it would be highly beneficial for many of our teachers and classrooms and students. I think the main problem we have is access to the technology and then access to learning how to use the technology. Between Internet blocks and mental blocks the hurdles are high.
I think the use of technology in the classroom is finally taking root. Many teachers use what they know very well. Getting them hardware, software, plans and ideas is daunting.

I created a podcasting visual that has been helpful when I work with teachers – it might be helpful to others. It’s posted on my blog, http://shoemap.edublogs.org/2006/11/12/podcsting/

Wes,

Thanks for the post and especially for the two visuals. I also teach a podcasting course for the staff in the two buildings I work in. The class as it exists now, is long on teacher-created material, what you call entry-level or adoption. The materials you provided will help me move in a direction that will give the class more depth and get the students behind the mic.
