Thing14 Final Thoughts on Podcasting

Like most terrific concepts that I encounter along the way, I have filed the sources/tutorials/tips for podcast production in a place easily accessed (my computer) and will have it waiting in case I find a need for it in the future (see, I do not discount most possibilities when I am faced with ideas that have potential for practical use, no matter how remote their actual implementation may seem in the current moment.)
However, I believe that my role in podcasting will be that of consumer and sharer. There is so much I already have to pack into my one semester with each batch of my students and this podcasting is something that I don't think will fit that time frame. HOWEVER, the video production teacher and the drama and speech teacher might be the ones I need to share my new-found podcast motherlode with and that IS something I can fit into my schedule :-)
As for obstacles I anticipate in my district, the only thing that comes to mind is the filter/blocking issue. Other than that, it's a great curriculum strengthener and an awesome PR builder, so I can't imagine finding any folks in the front offices that would be anything but supportive and thrilled if staff and students jumped on board with this.
