Thing 19

Podcasts are really an excellent tool. I spent a ton of time reviewing podcasts today. Here is a review of the ones I checked out!

Grammar Girl (http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com) - Very neat one! This gives a grammar type then gives conversational examples. I think my 6th graders would benefit from listening!

Zoofari Chat- This one is in conjunction with the San Diego Zoo. I listened to the one on the Manchirian Brown Bear during their Bear Days. Kind of cool for the animal geeks!

Book Wink- Book wink was a good one. It included some vocabulary words that went with the literacy genres (example was heists). www.bookwink.com

Colonial Williamsburg- as a past employee of Greenfield Village I loved the podcasts from Colonial Williamsburg. I listened to a ton here including Chocolate, Gingerbread houses, an Irish Christmas, and Colonial Ladies Music. CHECK THESE PODCASTS OUT IF YOU ARE A HISTORY BUFF!!!!!
