14. “According to Robert Craven, education technology coordinator for the Orange County Department of Education in California, iPods offer astounding possibilities for education. Administrators can record meetings, administer professional development activities, and keep contact information for every student and faculty member in the district. But the real benefits are for students, who use iPods to count calories, to record themselves reading, to make podcasts—even to get to the moon..” http://www.schoolcio.com/article/ipods-in-the-classroom/51713Meserve, S. (2007)

15. Critical mass in society has been achieved because podcasting has reached over 37 million individuals in society ; however, schools have not yet adopted podcasting and used it to all of its advantages. In order to reach critical mass in education we should: Find federal funding that will support the purchase of iPods and implement them into the schools Target highly respected individuals in the school system and have them “buy-in” to the innovation Support purchase of iPods with training Use the iPods with students in a fun and engaging way.

16. Key change agents that will promote podcasting: Instructional or Educational technologists at the county level Technology specialists in the school building Media specialists Curious teachers

17. Help individuals understand the need for change by diagnosing a problem in the classroom or showing the benefits of podcasting in the classroom Media and technology specialists should be the early adaptors in a school building Media and technology specialists should gather information and train other teachers Once those teachers have been trained, they, in turn, train others

18. Continue training and professional development Develop a team of leaders whose purpose is to continue learning and training others. This team should be dedicated to continuing their education. The relationship between the team of leaders, administration, school staff and teachers is vital to the implementation and survival of any technology that enters the building, including the push for podcasting and the relationship must stay positive and active.
