I haven't experimented with podcasts much. My stage of life doesn't really allow me to listen, watch or sit down for more than 2 minutes before my 2 cherubs need me for something. However, I think that there is a lot of potential for the use of podcasts in elementary school. The most obvious one is having the students do book reviews. I was also thinking that it might be fun to have kids use podcasting to do a demo speech on something that they like/are good at, etc.
I didn't really know how to find podcasts, so the directories in this site were really helpful. I used podcast.com the most. I listened to some parenting casts, educational casts and kid book review casts. There is a lot of potential for this "thing" and I am excited to give it a whirl with my students!

I love the idea of book reviews. Even first graders could do that!
