Edutopia is a site with collective information as to what works in public education. The Edible Schoolyard video is about the kids at Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School in California actually doing hands on learning. The children actually had total interaction with their projects and related it to their subjects. The other podcasts was really interesting to me because it showed the children what it was like living in a poverty stricken situation.
These types of podcasts and or videos provide great ideas, and different varieties of doing things. This helps with teaching as well as learning because students get kind of bored with the same old things everyday. Anytime that a different perspective of things is brought about it makes people think or at least it should. These podcasts can be used for many different positive aspects of teaching.
Podcasts are very resourceful in teaching and learning because they can accessed whenever you need them. Teachers can learn things as well as students while using podcasts. Podcasts are great sources of information and in my opinion will only get better.
