This was fun. I listened to a podcast from podcast.com about stuff you should know about altoids. Then I found a podcast from a third grade class in Webster NY that outlined their study of a nearby pond through the year.
It made me think how I might use a podcast with my first graders. I'd love to listen to podcasts-again it's the time to find them! Perhaps there would be a topic or person that I could follow on podcasts.
I used Gabcast with my students last year. They wrote poems and read them into the phone. Then hopefully parents and other family members listened to them online. I had a link from my class wiki.
The thing I would find the most helpful is to talk to other teachers in my grade levels who use podcasts or Youtube or whatever and find out what they do or talk about how we could integrate the technology into what we do and how we could use it to do what we already do in a new and perhaps more fun way.
I went to gcast.com and signed up for an account-although I think I have one with gabcast (or are they the same?) What I dislike is that they now charge $99 a year to download by telephone. So I will have to learn how to do it another way because $99 is not doable.
