I used the "Wild Chronicles" Podcast with my students today. It is a great video series that documents various species from around the world. We watched an episode on lions after reading a story about lions. It was a great way to link fiction and non-fiction. The students got to see live images of some really amazing animals. It was nice that I was able to use this podcast with the book I was currently reading in class, but earlier in the year I did a unit on Africa. I could get a lot of mileage out of this series. And with this being a National Geographic production, the quality is excellent. As with anything you show your students, you must view before you show. Some of the videos can be a bit graphic.
I was very pleased with what I found and would recommend it to any teacher. I found this podcast through iTunes. They have done a great job of assembling a wide variety of topics. It is a great resource for teachers.
