digital stories or to create audio for electronic portfolios. I
haven’t tried to do any recurring podcasts, such as regularly
scheduled news report, but I think it would be an excellent project
What caught my interest, was the number of podcasts that could be
used as primary sources for research. My class is working on a history
project right now, and as a result of this assignment, I’ve discovered
there many excellent audio/podcast resources. When I assigned the
history project five weeks ago, I didn’t require them to find an audio
resource, but after investigating this topic, I think we need to do an
add-on to our original assignment.
The following list includes some of the podcasts and other audio
resources that would be suitable for my 6th grade students:

Alaskool “Online materials about Alaska Native history, education,
languages, and cultures.”

Primary Source Materials: Moving Images and Sound Recordings

This link has many suggestions for using primary resources, and it has
many links for audio resources.
http://science.nasa.gov/ The Red Planet is Not a Dead Planet
This title is one example of the amazing space exploration resource
available at NASA. This site has podcasts, in English and in Spanish,
for NASA’s news releases.
This site has an incredible wealth of current event and historical
podcasts. The topics are comprehensive. An example description
includes: “A place where tears are dried.” Interview: Adapting an
Israeli model for helping orphans, Anne Heyman is leading efforts to
create a youth village for Rwandan orphans. She discusses the
inspiration for the project and how she has managed to make it a
reality.
