Teachers of all ages of students are using podcasts to teach and teaching their students how to podcast.  Not only are students interested in making podcasts, but education podcasts are a great way for students to take their classes with them or to catch up on classes they missed.  Here are some recent stories about education podcasts that prove how podcasting is popular among students of all ages:

•  ”Kids are going to love it because now we can reach the world,” says a consultant who educates Kindergarten thru 8th Grade teachers on how to get students podcasting
