Educational Blogs
I wrote a friend of mine who is an integration specialist in his district in Texas for some blog suggestions and these are the ones he suggested. I thought I would share them with you as a resourse. Sometimes it's not what you know it's what your friends know! : )

"I'm going to toss out some blogs that I can think of off the top of my head, but I'll have to go look around for some good podcasting examples. [] (This is ALWAYS my #1 stop for ideas and resources!) [] (TONS of links to TONS of resources!) [][] (Just found this today. Lots of news.) [][][] (Lots of research-based info, ideas, resources)

I'm also a big believer in the power of Twitter as a resource for teachers. Following the right folks (many of those who own the blogs above) provides you with a PLN (personal learning network) of supportive professionals and experts who you can always go to with a question or when you're looking for an idea. Its a great resource, you just have to be patient when you're getting started and willing to keep talking and trying to communicate with folks.

You might visit CybraryMan's website for some podcasting resources and site. I'll keep looking for those and passing along what I find."

Podcast Links
I just searched on google for educational podcasts, teacher podcasts, (subject area) podcasts, etc. and came up with a few resources to share. You do not need to use one of these for your podcast critique but I wanted to show you some examples of what I found. You will be best served by picking a subject and searching for podcasts in that area.
