Eagles' Nest Radio- This was the cutest podcast. I love the idea that the students are responsible for sharing the things they have learned with the rest of the world. You can tell that they spent time organizing what they would say on the podcast. This seems to pull together many different skills including writing and communication. They also seemed to complete the assignment in groups. Each one responsible for their own radio segment: architecture, history, biography, etc. I would love to hear the podcasts that the other groups in the classroom created.

Langwitches- I am so amazed at some of the creative ideas these teachers are blogging about. I think that this is a site that I will keep under the favorites tab because the ideas are so unique and could be used in different curriculum areas. It is amazing how far technology and education has come, and to think that it is still growing! This site definitely makes me want to use podcasting in my own classroom one day. When teachers talk about "not reinventing the wheel" they are talking about websites and ideas like this one. This site will help other teachers begin to formulate positive ideas about incorporating podcasts into their classrooms.
