Podcasting for Teachers THE BOOK By Kathy and Mark

A volume in the series: Emerging Technologies for Evolving Learners. Series Editor(s): Kathleen P. King, Fordham University and Mark Gura, Fordham University

Podcasting for Teachers is the first volume of a new series from Dr. Kathleen P. King and Mark Gura- Emerging Technologies for Evolving Learners and is based on their successful educational technology podcast, Podcast for Teachers, Techpod (sm). Their podcast work has reached over 2.5 million people as of 5/07 and branched into virtual seminars, and additional innovations.

This book introduces and explains this important new technology from the perspective of educators. It also provides new insights into the ways that technology can provide solutions to instructional needs that have not been sufficiently addressed until now. Not only does it provide concrete explanations, examples, models, and details about methods and resources that are not currently illustrated in other publications, but it also reveals a new rationale for the use of technology in education.
