Podcasting

I found the following podcasts on iTunes:

1) Aesop's Fables Podcast by LearnOutLoud.com (elementary school)
2) Why? The Science Show For Kids by Dr. Dave Brodbeck (middle school)
3) Chemistry - meaghersclasses by Richard Meagher (high school)

I listened to some of Dr. Brodbeck's Why? The Science Show For Kids and found that he explains things that are somewhat complex in a more simple way. This is good for middle school students because it introduces them to new and complex terms and ideas that they will continue to study, but it keeps them on a level that they can understatnd. I found that the podcasts offered ranged widely and would be good additions to any classroom. They would add a different perspective to the instructional time.
