The 2007 KidCast Podcasting Awards!

Calling all student and educator podcasters! We, along with Humble Daisy – makers of ProfCast, are sponsoring a podcasting contest again this year! Although the structure has changed slightly we are still focused on the same goal – recognizing quality podcasting efforts from around the world.

Please share this information to educators who are producing podcasts as a part of their professional work.

This year we are dividing our contest into categories that focus on specific types of educational podcasting. Here are the categories:

Student Categories

• Documentary (i.e. research findings, biography, exposé)
• Talk Show (i.e. discussion, analysis)
• Drama (i.e. radio plays that teach)
• Sound Seeing Tour (i.e. descriptive language to introduce a place or objects)
• Where in the World (best new episode of Where in the World)
• Best in Show – This award recognizes the student podcast which exemplifies the qualities we value most in podcasts: learning, research, creativity, quality media production, and sustainability.

Teacher Categories

• Professional Development (i.e. teacher reflection, tips, strategies, research summaries)
• Instructional Materials ( i.e. study guide, process guides, guided learning)

While our prize vault is still growing, the prizes include

Student Prizes:

• a handsome trophy for the winner of each student category
• a single user license of ProfCast for each student winner’s classroom

Teacher Prizes:

• a handsome trophy for the winner of each teacher category
• a 500 seat license of ProfCast for each teacher winner’s school
