The educational podcast that I listened to first was a WillowWeb podcast about ants. I thought that it was a great way for the students to get involved with more advanced technology and also a great way for family members to hear their younger student's progress. I thought that it was so creative to make the podcast into a radio station atmosphere and to include a number of students in each podcast made. The jokes about ants made the podcast so kid friendly and fun to listen to. I would like to do a project like that with my students if given the ability and materials to do so. This is a great way for students to show their parents their hard work in a more technology driven and upgraded way.
The second podcast was ColeyCast by Mr. Coley's classroom. I loved the podcast #26 that was a spotlight on poetry. The music in the background made the podcast seem like it was a poetic atmosphere like at a poetry slam. The "Fortunately/Unfortunately Poems" were so funny and the students read with great expression. It was clear that these students are older than the students in the WillowWeb podcasts because of the poetry element. I loved this idea too and would love to incorporate this idea into my classroom. These were both such creative ideas.

I think it is very interesting for students to learn to be so advanced in technology at such a young age. Some students are more advanced than there parents before entering high school. I could only imagine how a parent would feel when presented a podcast there child helped develop.
I also think that this would be a great way for students to learn more about technology. It could also help open some student's eyes about different types of jobs.
I would love to use this in my classroom too. I agree that it would be a great way for the students to learn more about technology.
