Eagles' Nest Radio
The children in these podcasts sounded so excited to be learning about sharks. This seems like a great piece of technology to use, especially with younger students.

It would also be more fun for the teacher to listen to the work, than read it.

I think that it is also neat that podcasts can be saved and listened to over and over again. It's kinda like a tape recorder that can be shared with everybody.
