Podcasts

Podcasts are becoming more and more popular here lately with many people getting involved in podcasting. They are a modern approach to getting ideas or information out to the public for useful purposes. Podcasts can be fun and full of information or interesting thoughts. I have never really been into podcasts, but I have learned that there really are a lot of interesting ones to see or hear.

SmartBoard Lessons focuses on using interactive whiteboards in the classroom. There are two people discussing subjects and new information about particular subjects. It was easy for me to be distracted while listening to the different episodes, but all in all, they were very descriptive and helpful.

KidCast is a companion to a book. It is just one person talking that basically gives recommendations for better teaching skills in some of the podcasts. Others were informative on different subject material.

EdTechtalk was like a live, interactive webcast constructed like interviews. There are numerous guests to discuss different topics of choice. It is interesting because listeners can interact with the people in this podcast by commenting or joining live chats.

Mr. A's Geometry Podcast are done with the intention of helping students enrolled in geometry courses. It is very helpful because he states that he is willing to do instructional videos upon request for concepts a student may not understand.

MacBreak Weekly is basically a big group of people discussing Macintosh Apple and giving their thoughts about it and sharing information related to it. Some of the same people involved in MacBreak Weekly are involved in the podcast called This Week in Photography. They discuss techniques, technology, and news related to photography. It seems to be very useful to someone interested in photography.
