Thing #17

I previewed The Tech Teachers.  The podcast was created by two teachers who enjoy using technology in the classroom.  Each week they podcast some of their ideas, such as new technology (iPhone) and ways to use technology for school.  They explain technology terminology as well as give reviews on certain Web 2.0 sites and technology resources.  

The podcast directories that I stuck with were the ones that discussed technology uses in the classroom.  I found quite a few on iTunes, I downloaded about 5 different podcast over that topic.  I also wanted to learn different uses for an iPod, so I downloaded Learning at Hand: iPod.  

Podcasts would be good for tutorials on special technology uses.  For example:  How to set up a wiki or blog.  You can talk them through the entire process.

The Spanish teacher at my school, creates a PowerPoint for his students and he puts them on the iPod.  They can then listen to it as well as read it and follow along as they are reviewing over a new concept.
