Podcast Favorites

When it came time for weekly reflections, I tried to sample a variety of different podcasts since I was just getting my feet wet and did not quite know which I preferred. After doing twelve weeks of reflections, there are a couple of podcasts from the list Cyndi gave us for which I developed a preference and found very entertaining. For example, I really liked the Tech Chick Tips. Their frequent podcast episodes are rich with resources for educators to explore which could help them incorporate technology into the classroom in various ways. What I really liked about their podcast was how they included the list of resources and the working links they discussed within each episode, making it very easy to navigate to those pages, check out the resources while they were being discussed, and then bookmark them in your delicious account if you thought it was useful. Doesn't get much easier than that. Their podcast can be found on their website, iTunes, and also through their Facebook page.

The second podcast that I really liked was Learning In Hand by Tony Vincent.  Because I have not had much experience with using iPads, iPods, and other handheld devices in the classroom, this is definitely a resource I will refer back to numerous times when I am in the classroom and need new tips for using these tools. To find out more about Tony and his quest to incorporate handhelds into classrooms, visit his website follow him on Twitter to receive frequent updates about cool new tools and resources.
