The distribution of audio or video files through podcasts is described. We then download these through iTunes. I was first exposed to podcasts through Calvary Chapel of Fort Lauderdale.  I had moved away from my wonderful church and soon found out I could listen to Pastor Bob on podcasts.  My second exposure has been to complete our Case Study 3 and upload each part to our Podcast.  I know that my students will be excited to create their own podcasts in class.

 I looked into the books and threads introduced by Dan Schmit and the instructions are very easy to follow. 

The National Educational Technology Standards (NES) are listed so all teachers will have the technology standards that have been created for us in order to address the needs of our 21^st century learners.  Teachers are encouraged to take opportunities to learn available technology, plan curriculum with it, and support the diverse needs of learners.  Goals and standards for the students are also listed.

A good example of the standards and goals are being implemented in a Hillsborough charter school called A.T.Jones Charter in Tampa.  They have an iPad, Mac Laptop, and a Promethean Educational Boards.  I am excited to visit the school next week.
