I am happy to announce my new podcast “Karen’s Educational Mashups.”

This podcast is a compilation of excerpts from podcasts and other free audio and video content of interest to educators. Shows will air twice a month, and each show will focus on a different topic. Some will be focused on content for students, while others will feature professional development content for administrators and teachers. Our first show is on history-related content. The second show will be aimed at library media specialists (and everyone who loves books).

Podcasting is definitely a hot topic in ed tech right now. Creating your own podcast isn’t for every teacher, but every teacher can use some of the great FREE content that is already out there to differentiate instruction. This show is designed to help you discover some of that great content and to spark ideas. There are a lot of great podcast directories out there, but this is a different approach to helping you find podcasts of interest to you.

I hope you enjoy this podcast. If you have ideas for future shows or a favorite podcast or other content source that you’d like to see featured, drop us a line at mashups@k12handhelds.com or leave a voice mail at 206-984-2258.

    Great idea Karen–

    Would you make one of your next MASHUPS on professional development podcasts. I’m really interested in seeing what’s out there in that area.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the suggestion. That’s a topic that’s already on our list, so we’ll see if we can move it up as a priority. Look for this in the next month or so.
