Podcasts

I chose two podcasts about the current situation in Japan from Discovery News. I thought it was interesting to hear about the specifics of a nuclear disaster, and how the severity of a nuclear disaster is determined. I liked these podcasts because they weren't too long, but had a lot of information. I think this could be used in the classroom to teach students about current events. Students could access a variety of current topics and hear from many different people and sources. This would be a great way to connect them to the world.
