Elementary Podcasts

http://www.si.edu/podcasts/ Smithsonian podcasts, great for project research, to add to your websites or for learning more about the world

http://ecast.euclid.k12.oh.us/nwelsh/Glenbrook_Stars/Podcast/Podcast.html this site is from a second grade class that is learning to read poetry with expression. A great example of students using podcasting to demonstrate learning. I can just imagine how proud these students are to be on the web!

http://epnweb.org/index.php?openpod=16 educational podcast website, poscasts on all subjects by real teachers just like us! Great for gaining ideas about what to podcast, what not to podcast and for examples to share with students as they create podcasts.

Additional Resources http://www.podsafeaudio.com/jamroom/index.php?t=browse_genre&g=audio podcast safe audio, since you can't use your own CD's to add music to your podcasts (copywright laws forbid this) here is a site created by musicians who want to get their music out in the world and have given permission for it's use in non-commercial ventures. **word of caution, podsafe doesn't necessarily mean school safe, so be aware of what you download and definitely download a few choices for your students to use instead of letting them explore the entire site**
