Well, I'm pretty much done with my research and have started writing. I was a bit surprised that I found as much material on podcasting as I have. I do have two studies, small though they are, on actual podcasting use in the classroom. These two studies both occurred in 2005. But I'm encouraged by the research and feel pretty good about where I'm headed. There are a lot of interesting podcasts out there and part of the fun was listening to different ones. Thanks to Lisa, as I was able to use one of her resources. And so, I'm off to write! Colleen
