Judy Scharf's Podcast Collection on Curriki is a simple informational site for either someone wanting to produce a podcast or someone teaching a class to do one. Ms. Scharf breaks down the process into sensible and easy-to-view sections. She provides links for instructional videos on both YouTube and TeacherTube that show how to do a podcast. Of the two, the YouTube video was much easier to understand and showed step-by-step instructions. The TeacherTube video was a slide show accompanied by a boring speaker.
In addition to the how-to links, Ms. Scharf offers several downloadable files. These include: Benefits of Podcasting in Education, Creating a Podcast, Using Podbean, and Submitting a Podcast to iTunes. They, too, were easy to understand. For a teacher instructing a class on podcasting, she includes a time schedule, suggestions for podcast projects, suggestions for researching a topic, and a grading sheet and rubric. I was impressed with her Tips to Succeed and the sample podcasts that she included. The podcast, A Tour of the Digestive System, was entertaining and a little gross! All the information on Ms. Sharf's Collection was very informative and helpful.
