Week 2 Podcasts & iTunes

I was quite overwhelmed with selection of audio and video podcasts available for free through iTunes. From Discovery channel to PBS the selection is vast with no stone left unturned. How Stuff Works is one of my favorite website references and now I can subscribe to their blog to answer those innocent questions that everyone wants to know like...Why is the sky blue? I was able to find many podcasts relating to stories that we currently read in the classroom. I found one podcast about the very astronaut that we read about--Franklin Chaz Diaz. The podcast on the Gold Rush is another tool to help students understand the significance of this event. Episodes of Myth Busters for $1.99 was thrilling because I can choose only the episodes that I need rather than purchase the whole season.
