Thing #14 - 23 Things

I like the NPR podcasts for keeping up on the different stories and topics. All Things Considered is interesting and covers a variety of topics.. NPR could be used to discuss a variety of topics, students could be taught to include some of the podcasts in their presentations. The BBC has several interesting podcasts that can give students a different prespective on the events in the world. Several libraries had podcasts for book reviews, Booktalks Quick and Simple has a neat layout with student involvemet which would be a great project at school. I've tried to set up student podcasts about books in the past but haven't been able to get more than one or two students involved - still I would like to try it again.
