You are correct that "Education" means increasing awareness, too. I think that the two go hand in hand. By using podcasting and new media approaches in education from children through adults, we create that awareness by default. In order to use new media in their classrooms, teachers will have to familiarize themselves with the resources available and the other projects created by students and instructors in other facilities. The students, likewise, will have access to the whole pool of resources and not just what their class has produced. Thanks for the comment, Josh.

I always thought that the "Education" in "Education and Outreach Committee" was about educating the massive number of people who aren't familiar with podcasting. I can see how podcasting definitely applies to the Education field. But I hope this part of ADM focuses largely on how podcasting can solve its biggest problem: lack of awareness, even among those millions who own iPods. thanks, -joshMshep The Official Adventures in Odyssey Podcast http://www.WhitsEnd.org/podcast That’s interesting… I always thought that the “Education” in “Education and Outreach Committee” was about educating the massive number of people who aren’t familiar with podcasting.
