Podcast week 13

Speaking of History…..

Tom Wheeler

Episode 79

4/6/2007

I really enjoy this podcast series. I feel as though it is important to relate the fact that every generation has had to deal with technological innovation and that we are not the only ones. This podcast was about how Abraham Lincoln used the telegram during the Civil War. It has a great focus and is very informative. It just shows how large of an impact technology has in many facets of history.

Alexandria Ghost Tours

Episode 61

1/23/2007

This podcast was just plain cool. This is one of the great examples of podcasting is that you learn about many different things that you had no idea existed and this podcast about a ghost tour in Virginia is just on of those examples. It has no real emphasis on technology or how I could implement something in the classroom, but it does make me more aware of what is in the world and I feel as though this is an important aspect of podcasting.

International Spy Museum

Episode 72

3/7/2007

This is also sssooo cool! What a neat concept for a museum. It really would be a neat place to visit. I enjoy how this podcast has interesting places that they note. This is also excellent from a teacher standpoint because it makes educators and students aware of the neat museums and such available to enhance their lessons.
