Thing13 My search is on for art podcasts

Surprise! First hit! Education Podcast Network http://www.epnweb.org/index.php?openpod=13#16 has heaps and heaps of visual arts podcasts. However, there is a huge red warning that "appropriateness of content" may be an issue. That means that I cannot blithely send my students out into this world of podcasts because of the potential dangers that lurk in cyberspace... but I probably don't have to worry too much since our school network's filter prohibits even the most inoccuous of web searches...

SECOND hit! another treasure is discovered: Academic Aesthetic http://www.epnweb.org/index.php?request_id=34&openpod=13#anchor13 a keeper. I've added it to my Bloglines RSS list.

My trip to Podcast Alley resulted in several potential possibilities. But time time time is not my friend so I'm inserting the link here to visit/explore more later http://www.podcastalley.com/search.php?searchterm=visual+art

Yahoo gave me only three options and the one I clicked on gave me a yahoo warning that it might be trouble, so I didn't continue to check it out.

So the results of my searching for podcasts that I can use in my classroom reveal that I do have many many options and I think that I'm going to turn this into a road-rally-in-cyberspace assignment for my students this coming fall. And I'm finally eager to visit Bloglines! I want to read more from that RSS link to the Academic Aesthetic. I feel there's a kindred spirit there...
