Wow, so much out there and if you go patiently searching you will find "stuff" that caters for your interests. I thoroughly enjoyed The Naked Scientist podcast and while I was not interested in everything, I found myself spending alot of time here. The EdPod had a current discussion about the Fed Government's plan to reward the best teachers with a cash bonus. A great thought provoking argument from 2 well informed experts. For me this highlighted one of the possibilities for using podcasts in the classroom, namely listening to the views of others eg debating, persuasive arguments etc.
Other ideas for using Podcasts in the classroom could include: Book reviews, short stories, giving a report after an excursion or a visiting guest author. Being able to embed these into a Blog or Wiki makes them even more appealing.
The Ken Robison Changing Paradigms article I have seen twice before. It is a favourite with presenters at ICLT workshops.
Pleased you enjoyed this one. I can see why the Ken Robinson presentation is so popular..I loved it!!
