KidCast: A book, a podcast, and now a community!

Our friend Dan Schmit, author of KidCast: Learning and Teaching with Podcasting, recently announced an exciting new way for you to be involved in building the educational podcaster community--KidCast Forums!

KidCast Forums is a new online community where you can do anything from posting a link to a kid-friendly podcast, sharing podcast curriculum integration ideas, or learn how get started podcasting (with a little help from other teachers).

Dan (with a little help from his sidekick Jamal) continues to produce a quality podcast discussing the many educational benefits of introducing podcasting into the classroom.

Recently, Dan conducted a very interesting and insightful interview with Dr. Guy Trainin, one of his colleagues at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, on the connections between education, literacy, and the use of social media (like podcasts) in the classroom.

So give KidCasts a listen! And if you don't have iTunes downloaded on your computer, you can listen to KidCast from the comfort of your browser (no software download required!) on Yahoo! Podcasts!

Great work Dan! And Jamal too....
