Podcasting

After attending a podcasting workshop, we should now consider doing the Enhanced Podcast (audio with keynote slides) to provide more information to PDS producers and designers regarding (Guskey's 5) levels of evaluation. We should also think about using GarageBand, since we won't be utilizing the video aspect.
On a side note, I (Rebecca) will also be creating a podcast with Caroline, Tanya and Denise regarding Learning Communities, featuring Terry Campenella.
