Classroom Podcasting 101

Bard Williams, Ed.D. was a middle school teacher and adjunct university science professor before managing education technology at the district level in suburban Atlanta. After a decade in public education and prior to opening his own education-technology consulting firm in California’s Silicon Valley, Williams worked for Apple Computer, specializing in education marketing. He has written more than a dozen books.

Published by ISTE, Williams’ most recent book, Educator’s Podcast Guide , is both a how-to manual for first-time podcasters, and a useful teacher resource. The book lists more than 125 student friendly (or student produced) podcasts on the core subjects, physical education, foreign language, and news.

We recently spoke to Williams via e-mail about the nuts and bolts of podcasting for the classroom.
