Valuable Podcasts

A former co-worker of mine introduced me to podcasts a few years ago. Since then I have subscribed to many podcasts, some which are education-related, others are simply for entertainment value. I have narrowed my listening list down to just a few podcasts which continue to post regular episodes, mostly about utilizing web 2.0 tools. I will begin my posting to this blog by sharing these podcast links.

Moving at the Speed of Creativity - Wes Fryer shares ideas, conversations and resources to aid in collaboration and utilization of online learning tools. He releases many episodes per month and involves a lot of other leading tech integrators. His website is full of valuable resources and links.

Mark & Mark in the Morning - A colleague of mine is one of the "Marks" in this podcast (Mark Radcliffe). He works as a Training Specialist for the Blended Schools Consortium which uses Blackboard to deliver content to schools in PA. My school district is a member of this consortium and this podcast helps the teachers who use Blackboard become aware and more familiar with the tools it offers. If you do not know either of these "Marks," you may not appreciate their humor, but if you are a Bb user, the info is valuable. Podcast feed: itpc://blendedschools.net/markandmark/?feed=rss2
