Educational Podcasts

Science Update podcast- I think this would be fit with middle schoolers or maybe even high school. Science Update is very unique because a new podcast comes out every Monday through Friday! Yes, a one-minute selection will inform the students on the latest discoveries in science as well as medicine and technology. Also, there is a weekly edition, which are 5 to 10 minutes, which can give a more in depth look.

Grammar Girl is an excellent source to get educational podcasts from. It is a great website that the students could visit if they are needing some help on their writing skills in particular. One that I especially liked was Who Versus Whom, which would fit under elementary education. One of the difficult challenges in grammar is remembering whether to use who in the sentence or whom. This podcast gives some good tips.

Brightstorm has a wonderful series of video podcasts aimed towards high school students. Teachers volunteer to appear in these videos and tutor students in everything from algebra, geometry, history, and even SAT preparation! Now if students need help at home when their teacher is not around, all they have to do is click their mouse.
