It looks like Principal Holman didn't have time for me to present my Prezi on Constructivism to my colleagues. So, I have made an enhanced podcast of it for you to enjoy! I don't think my link survived the conversion, but it just took you to the same YouTube video that showed up in my Prezi in the previous post.
I can't wait to use Podcasts in my classroom. There are so many things you can do with them, you could even record an entire class on a podcast and have the students listen to it as homework when the school has a Snow Day or something so that you don't miss a day of class! The nice thing about that is, I'm sure the students would prefer to listen/watch a 30 minute (perhaps enhanced) podcast than sit in class and hear the same thing. Conversely, if the students made their own podcasts, we could have them submit podcasts as take home tests. All they need to do is email them to the teacher by a certain day and time and we grade them as oral exams. This would give the aural students a chance to show the teacher what they have learned in an interesting and fun way. By letting them talk and explain their understanding about a subject, they might surprise us, and they might even surprise themselves!

I had the same thoughts about pod casting! (that students would never miss a day) Although, I had thought about it for snow days...it is a good idea.
i think a snow day ought to be for playing outside!! but i like your idea about presenting a lesson as a podcast. I am sure that the students would enjoy the video, and it would allow a time for you to do some grading , or something! It looks great! I love your big pic on the front of your site...
