#21 Podcasts

I listened to three podcasts.
County of Los Angeles Public Library Teen Podcasts- Volume was not loud enough. Lots of popping noises. The content was targeted to teen readers. There were book talks and recommendations. Content was great as students were doing the talking.

Boulder Public Library- Teen Webcasts- This was a news cast given by teens. Sound quality was good although there was lots of popping.This was top news stories given by teens from Boulder High School.

From Education Podcast Network, I listened to What is Romantic Love? There was a fuzzy noise in the background but sound quality was good. This was a series of podcasts based on a book.

I would not subscribe to any of these podcasts. I don't think there is a big demand for podcasts in middle school because the students would much rather watch a video than listen to a podcast. I think the application would be to let the students create a podcast for a project or possibly to do a playlist for a book.
