Web 2.0 Adventure

As a part of the Cherokee County Teach21 program, I took a class on podcasting last year (with our very own Sandi Adams!) and so I have used iTunes to create a short podcast.  I also enjoyed the videos on Common Craft and PodGrunt included with this assignment and thought that both of these did a really good job of explaining podcasting in simple, easy-to-understand terms.  I loved some of the educational podcasts available in the assignment, and thought what a powerful tool this could be for a Social Studies teacher during an election year — there were some powerful options on the political process!   Not only could the students benefit from the podcasts available to them, but making their own original podcasts that reflect their thoughts on the election year politics would be a tremendous learning tool.
