I reacently received my //Science Scope from NSTA//. There is an article highlighting podcasts and blogs by Robert A Lucking, Edwin P. Christmann, and Mervyn J. Wighting. They provide several links and ideas. Have any of you ever used them and if so, how? Does it take a lot of time to set either of these up or learn how to do them? Add any tips you might have....or if you check any of the sites listed, add your comments about the sites.

They listed the following websites: [|www.apple.com/itunes] You can click on the download icon and view an extensive menu that can be played on your computer or burned onto a cd-rom for future use.

[|www.sciencefriday.com/feed] can be accessed through itunes. It offers broadcasts on envrionmental science, health, and climate.

NOVA has podcasts just for science teachers.

[|www.mefeedia.com] was also suggested.

They recommend covering safety with your students, only use first names or first name and last initial, and parent releases if you use video podcasts.

[|www.bloglines.com] has examples of blogs

[|www.edublogs.org] shows ways blogs are being used.
