I’ve recently subscribed to the “Today’s Middle Level Educator” audio podcast and enjoyed the few episodes I’ve listened to thus far.  Here’s a description of the show from the NMSA (National Middle School Association) website:

“Today’s Middle Level Educator, a podcast series produced by National Middle School Association, is the place to hear conversations, interviews, and commentaries from middle level practitioners, leaders, and experts. Listen online or subscribe to the podcast and listen on your computer or MP3 player.”

Visit the podcast’s website (linked above) to subscribe via iTunes.

“Transitioning From Life As A College Student To Classroom Teacher” and “Thoughts on Pre-Service Preparation” are topics of recent podcasts.

On a completely unrelated note… if you’re a movie fan, you might want to subscribe to the Filmspotting audio podcast when you’re in iTunes.  It’s an hour or so per week of fun and informative move banter.

I always enjoy the Massacre Theatre part of the show in which the hosts – Adam Kempenaar and Matty Robinson – massacre a scene from a screenplay and listeners email in with their guesses as to which movie contains the scene that was butchered.  (Believe it or not, I was the Massacre Theatre winner in Episode #258 and I won a free DVD of my choice!).  Here’s a clip of the FS boys mangling a scene from Gladiator (someone has dubbed their voices over the original voice track):

Happy listening,
