Podcast for Teachers

I finallly got to listen to the podcast for teachers and enjoyed it a lot. Episode 102 was fun. Dr. Kathy King and Mark Gura talk about different issues related to education. The one which particularly attracted my attention was the fact that children are becoming what they call "beyond digital natives" and how this is a challenge for schools & teachers. They also mentioned a project in which they can get scientists to talk about their research, besides they familiarize students with the format of research papers.
I also listened to a special episode (16) in which they gave a long introduction on the program. They also talked about the benefits of podcasts and technology in education, the teachers' comments, doubts and fears when dealing with technology. Some of the quotes sent by the teachers were quite interesting and the hosts commented them as well. I think the idea is to display this podcast as the mediator of a community of teachers all over Canada, USA, Australia and many other speaking countries.

If possible I will place my podcast right below here, for the site is being checked.
