I know it’s been a while since I’ve written a blog article, but this one was definitely worth writing.

Just a couple of days ago, TeacherBytes — a website that talks about cool stuff for teachers wanting to use technology in the classroom — in a podcast talked about how Kid-Cast.com was a great place to upload your Podcast and know they’re safe for everyone to hear!

The site is run by John Woodring. John Woodring is a Technology Integrationist and Web Media Productions Instructor at H.E. McCracken Middle School in Bluffton, South Carolina. Before his current adventure he was a Social Studies teacher at Bluffton High School, Hilton Head Island High School, and the Academies for Career Excellence. John has a Bachelors Degree in History from the University of South Carolina - Upstate and a Masters Degree in Education from Converse College. Besides blogging, John has done both podcasting and video blogging. You may contact John at teacherbytes@gmail.com.

You can listen to his podcast from April 1st 2008, by clicking here. You can also check out some great resources for Podcasting in the Classroom (where John also contributed) at TeacherBytes BCSD Podcast, where you can read lots of great nuances to podcasting as well as watch a few videos!

I can’t thank John Woodring enough for mentioning us in his podcast!

Enjoy, and Happy Spring, Kid-Casters!

Sam reviews "Meet the Robinsons" - the really fun Disney Movie – and Everyone’s Hero a movie about baseball. Of course, it’s important they make the "siren noise" during their first episode! This Kid-cast is a show fully recorded, produced, edited and uploaded by kids of various ages.

Note: This is a great group of kids! They announce the podcast as "Kid-Cast #1", but they are not, however, "on staff" at Kid-Cast.COM. They really are great contributors, though! Thanks Guys! Keep having fun and sending in new episodes!

We all know that exercise is a way to help keep our health in great shape. We also know that eating right and getting a good night’s sleep are part of a healthy lifestyle. At Kid-Cast.COM, we’re very interested in making sure everyone knows that a healthy lifestyle is what’s going to help us grow taller and be able to think better. We want you to be able to reach the stars in more ways than one!

So, we thought we’d add a little bit to what we deliver here on the site. We like sharing kid-friendly websites, and some advice based on science and our own experiences. There are so many things that make up a healthy lifestyle, but we know - for sure - that eating right and exercising are definitely biggies!

We found this kid-friendly website called "Jump Into A Healthy Life" that talks about their favorite thing: jumping rope! Jumping rope is a really great cardio exercise (that means awesome for a healthy heart!) that can be done almost anywhere! You don’t need to go to a fancy gym to jump rope, you can do it right in your backyard!

Part of what they also discuss are the benefits of exercise and some facts about the circulatory system in your body (how your blood gets around inside you). There’s even a quiz to see how much you really know.

So, check it out and leave us a comment and tell us what you think! We want to know more about what YOU want to know!

Enjoy!

We have to admit, we love hearing your voices. Not only are your podcasts great topics, but the sound of your voices just makes them that much better! Your unique voices make Kid-Cast.COM the fun site that it is!

This time, we want you to really put your voices into it and help us out a little. We’re looking for a talented class, or a group of kids, to help us create a signature Kid-Cast.COM introduction theme. We want to use this theme in front of all of the podcasts so that everyone can know about Kid-Cast.COM.

We want you to be creative! Do something unique with the words "Kid-Cast.COM" and help us come up with something fun and everyone can hear your voices! You can get 50 of your closest friends and yell out "Kid-Cast.COM!" or you can sing a little tune with the Kid-Cast.COM tagline: "A podcast FOR kids, and BY kids!"

So, get permission from your teachers, parents, or guardians, and upload your ideas! We can’t wait to hear them!

Good luck with your ideas!
