A Basement of Broken Dreams – An album by John Holowach, hosted on archive.org. I used his song called My Piano Sings (Part 3).

Egad! How the heck did I make 10th place in Podcast Alley’s education section? I mean, I appreciate it and all, but how did that happen? To those of you who are listening / reading this, some comments on why you keep coming back would be greatly appreciated.

I think the biggest hurdle we must overcome if we want teachers to catch on to podcasts is the fact that it’s still a little too technical. If we try to throw everything we know at someone all at once they won’t get any of it. People digest things better with small bites.

Teachers need to stop lecturing and start performing. Walk around the classroom, tell jokes, make silly voices, and so on. It may sound goofy, but if get your students’ attention then they’re more likely to learn.

Top ten! (If you only count my podcasts…)

Using email to achieve a paperless system only works if your emails aren’t blocked by another teacher’s spam filter.

When podvangelizing, it’s best to break it down and keep it simple. (Does that mean you share Kool-Aid that’s been watered down?) Also, you can leave printouts from various podvangelizing websites in strategic locations (like the teacher’s lounge).

On a spur of the moment I decided to make some podvangelism banners. Feel free to move these to your own server and use them.

Number 5 is alive!.

This episode, expect to hear…

• Students like being on both sides of the camera – it can spice up almost any lesson.
• Students who teach more learn more, so put them in teaching situations.
• History According to Bob – a great series of podcasts delivered in bite sized chunks of goodness. This is one of those sites that should always rank higher than me on Podcast Alley. (He’s number 6, so I think he’s in the clear here.)
• This episode’s music is “Molecules” by Patrick Schouten

Yeah, I should probably post some non-audio stuff soon for those of you who don’t like podcasts.
