Podcasting Future?

Over the last two days of freezing, cold weather, my laptop has been my heating blanket for myself and my dog, Sammy. With this extra time, I have been updating/listening to my iTunes subscriptions of professional podcasts. What a great way to get my technology information!

These are my favorites:
this WEEK in TECH
Radio WillowWeb
CNN Student News
KidCast
Teachers' TV News

My podcast for the Long Meadow staff (Media Messages) is currently only emailed out to our staff group every week. I would like to involve the students in the creation of a communication podcast with pictures describing our school events for our Rochester community in the near future. A prospective, written grant would provide the funds to start up this project.

Hey- want to work together on this as that is a goal for me in my building too. I was thinking the news show could be a video cast as well. Let's talk.

Great! Update: I was awarded the grant money for this project two weeks ago! I am starting the purchasing process. I am hoping for the Fall to start the podcast at Long Meadow!
