Alexis,
Thanks for sharing all of the podcast ideas. This was not used at all in my school and I am fascinated that all grades were using it. As for your question, is there any way you could use the SmartBoard to allow class access to podcasts on a weekly or bi-weekly basis? If not, class laptops are also a way. This might be where iPods or cell phone Internet access might come in handy for podcasts. I am just thinking that it would really augment any L.A. program to provide video or audio feeds while listening to a text. It would be a great motivator for many students.
I know that some Boards do offer some technology from the Media Centre (such as special cameras, Clicker handsets for interactive use and some audio equipment such as books on iPod/mp.3). It might be worth an email to check out what is available for loan. I am sure they could provide advice also.

Thanks for all the great ideas Jackie. I think I'm going to try an mp3 player and copy the cd's I currently have.

Hope it helps. I know how hard it is to work on the cheap and in FSL. Peter had great ideas. Maybe we are just making this harder than it really is. Thanks for commenting. It gets lonely writing to myself...
