There are a million and one ways that you can implement podcasting in a classroom. I may not have a million examples…yet, but I do have some great ideas to share with you.
If you are looking to get started with a great activity that won’t take a lot of work to get off the ground, consider joining our “Where in the World?”
podcast project. Texas educator, Anna Adam is coordinating this global geography quizcast for me.
Listeners can use geography and deduction skills to use the clues and discover the exact location. An email is given at the end of every posting, so you can email them with your guess. If you guess correctly, you’ll get a postcard back from the producers!

Here is a link to the Wikipedia. It is an open source encyclopedia where you can post detailed information about your own community and/or school.
