Molly's Podcast Choice

I had a hard time finding a podcast that I found interesting and that was going to be beneficial to my teaching. I first thought the "All about Math" podcast was it-it is a video podcast that is animated and I thought that I could even show it to my 5th graders since it was supposed to be elementary math. After viewing a few it became clear that the material was way to high for my fifth graders and the animation was kind of flat and creepy. I would not recommend it.

A lot of the math podcasts I found were higher level math, so I moved on to Smartboards-since I will be teaching with one this year. I finally found a site: Teaching with Smartboard and I have subscribed to that. It is hosted by two guys who are pretty funny. Each video podcast teaches you something new that you can do with the Smartborad and the Smartboard software. It also is very current, the last post was July 11th-so I think this will be a very active and helpful podcast to follow.
