I personally think that this is ultra-cool stuff for everyone, but it might be especially helpful - and fun - for teachers.
It's a daily podcast to celebrate the International Year of Astronomy. Why 2009? Because this year marks the 400th anniversary of Galileo's first observations through a telescope. This is truly a global project, with the podcasts written and produced by people all over the world.
The subjects are diverse, and while you might not want to use all of them in the classroom (for instance, the story about beer produced from barley that was grown on the International Space Station - how cool is that?), you'll likely find tons of great material for your kids.
This will take you to the site.
And, if you'd like to visit the official site for the International Year of Astronomy, there are a few interesting tidbits to be found there as well. This will get you there.
Enjoy! And please share this info with every teacher you know. Of course, while you're at it, let them know all about The Big Brain Club, too!
