Using iTunes to Download Podcasts

 * Itunes is a free download from []
 * We will be focusing on iTunes use for podcasting but you can also learn more about Itunes many features at []
 * Inside the iTunes store there are 2 tabs that are of interest to us for podcasts: Podcasts and iTunes U.
 * You can search for podcasts from either of these 2 tabs
 * You can also search the web for podcasts. For example, you can type in National Geographic Podcasts in Google and get links to click on to subscribe to these casts.
 * I already downloaded several for you to look at but I'd like you to find some of your own.


 * __Tasks:__**
 * 1) Task 1: Take some time to review the podcasts that are already downloaded and find some of your own. Any podcasts you don't like should be deleted so we can export your list of podcasts at the end of the day so you can add them to your own computer.
 * 2) Task 2: Use Kidspiration or Inspiration and create a brainstorm/web of your ideas related to using downloaded podcasts in your classroom.
 * 3) Task 3: Answer the discussion post related to what you found.
