“The Education Podcast Network is an effort to bring together into one place, the wide range of podcast programming that may be helpful to teachers looking for content to teach with and about, and to explore issues of teaching and learning in the 21st century.”

I’ll attempt to break this list down and identify sites and tools particularly useful to educational podcasters.

iTunes must be the most popular podcatcher. In the iTunes store educational podcasts are categorised as follows for Education:

Education

• Education Technology
• Higher Education
• K-12
• Language Courses
• Training

Though the list appears in the iTunes playe, it’s a list most podcasters will submit to, so a good place to start searching.

Netvibes is a Web 2.0 portal application. You create ‘modules’ on a homepage to things you want to keep an eye. RSS feed modules therefore are a key component to Netvibes and so podcasts are a feature too.

You can now share your personal modules for the benefit of others through the Netvibes Eco system.

Channel description: A two weekly podcast project about innovation in learning, teaching and assessment (LTA) for staff at Sheffield Hallam University, UK. Features and interviews on learning technologies and non-technology related initiatives and projects around the university.

The reasons for this this are to,

• promote educational podcasting and specific podcasts
• identify best practice – what works and what doesn’t
• provide some objective and supportive feedback, and possibly some ideas, for educational podcasters
• list and describe educational podcasts

I invite you to,

• submit podcasts for listing and review
• submit reviews and comment on reviews
