Here is a link to an educational podcast.
Mises.org podcast: Great Economics

I subscribed to Teacher 2.0 and listened to a few episodes. At first I thought it sounded unrefined and I had low expectations, but I was impressed with how the host discussed many relevant uses of technology and practical how to’s for the teacher. One episode, the host had a guest who was a band director and he spoke about how he uses a blog. It was impressive how the kids used this tool for collaborative learning. The students would encourage one another and admonish each other in a constructive way. Each episode is only about 12 minutes so it is easy to listen to. I give it three stars:)
Like the Teacher 2.0 podcast, it could be used by administrators for a neat way to do interviews and relay pertinent information that the staff could listen to on their commute. This could save some meeting time. In the classroom, it could be used for student projects, like a radio theater presentation. The kids could have fun with it. The Radio Lab podcast, a science show on NPR, is a great tool that engages the students and could be incorporated in specific lesson plans.
