YIPPEE!! Santa brought me an iPod for Christmas. Doesn't it make me look younger?! (see picture)Seriously, I've found some really great EdTech related podcasts that I've been listening to. And, even if you don't have an iPod (and I really feel for you) you can still listen to these on your computer.
Here are some that I highly recommend:
Connect Learning - David Warlick - I really enjoyed the 3 part series he had that was a presentation by Angus King, the former governor of Maine talking about the Maine laptop project and other technology related issues.
EdTech Learning Coast to Coast - A regular podcast featuring Educational Technologists from throughout the country. Regular panelists include Will Richardson, Tim Lauer, Tim Wilson, and Steve Burt. Show notes are also available on the web site. The latest episode was on Content Filtering with Steve Burt, Tim Lauer, Tim Wilson and Will Richardson discussing Myspace and the like. It was very good and there is a great list of resources there that you can download.
EdTech Talk - Edtechtalk shows are recorded during live interactive webcasts. They usually have a guest or two to discuss what they've been working on or share their thoughts about some aspect of ed tech. During the show listeners can skype in to comment and ask questions or they can hang out in the chat room and participate from there.
The Savvy Technologist - Tim Wilson - Interviews and other information about educational technology from a curriculum guy who happens to be a geek (his words, not mine). He has a blog, and video on his web site as well.
Blog Beat - Will Richardson - He has some ocassional podcasts mixed in with his regular blog, Weblogg-Ed. I tried to find a way to subscribe to the podcasts separately but couldn't figure it out. However you can listen to the audio online or download it and then transfer it to an iPod or other device.
TO FIND EDUCATIONAL PODCASTS - Education Podcast Network - Ted shared this link with us over the listserv. It's a great source of education-related podcasts, both done by teachers and done by students.
FOR STUDENTS - Ask an Astronomer - Real NASA astronomers, from the Spitzer Space Telescope and Infrared Processing and Analysis Center, answer questions about the science of astronomy. This has video (no, I didn't get the video iPod) from experts that answer the questions posed. I was looking for information about how to submit a question but couldn't find that.

Thanks! I'll check that one out too.
Don't forget this classroom podcast...
Room 208
This is from the Room 208 blog which includes podcasts. Truly a really great example of how a teacher has student's involved in this great technology.
Thanks for mentioning that one, Brian. I was just listening to the podcast of a presentation at PodcasterCon in N.C. and they used several examples from Room 208. It was cited as a premier example of educational podcasting with and for students.
Room 208 is a great place to see what kids can do with podcasting. Bob Sprankle, the teacher who does this with his students, just won an EduBlog award. If you go to http://bobsprankle.com/welcome/welcome.html you can access both his student site, Room 208 and his teacher site, Bit by Bit.
