Look at the kinds of information you need to research and then do a Google Search. Try combinations of the following keywords: podcast, podcasting, elementary, education, classroom, definition, advantages, disadvantages,

Check out the resources in our course also--multimedia folder.

Podcasting Resources (developing own podcasts) What kind of equipment you might need, any special software for editing... Are there any tutorials or YouTube videos you could share here?

References:
Need to include reference information for the sources accessed and used in the article. They need to be actually cited in the body of the article; they aren't just the resources accessed. The Modern Language Association (MLA) guidelines require that you cite the quotations, summaries, paraphrases, and other material used from sources (i.e. information not considered common knowledge) within parentheses typically placed at the end of the sentence in which the quoted or paraphrased material appears. The in-text citations refer the reader to the full bibliographic information in the References/Works Cited area. You can also introduce your sources with something like, According to...or John Smith states...This is especially important if you have more than one source for information in the same paragraph.
Check this website for examples of in-text citations: http://library.duke.edu/research/citing/within/mla.html
I provided the link to Valencia College's webpage on citing electronic sources previously: http://www.valenciacc.edu/library/doc_mla_electronic.cfm

Since I feel that the process is most important at this point, I am willing to allow this group to continue (start) working on adding and revising the information on this page--unless you feel this is the best you can do. I will give you one more week to complete the project. Let me know today if you accept the assignment and how you suggest that this group could accomplish its goals more effectively. I don't want to see that you are communicating via E-mail or or phone since I am out of the loop then.
This is first, a research project and second, a group project. As I have said before, if you were assigned this research project to complete on your own, what you have done? I don't see that anyone has done much research at all. I even provided some links to get you started. I also suggested that you could create a discussions page. You and your group members could use this page to communicate/add resources before putting items onto the final product page. See how the Blogs and Educational Games groups used their discussion pages. You will need to check your e-mail often for notifications so you can keep up with what's being done.
