Wikis & Podcasts

Andy Carvin's Learning.Now blog has some great wiki:
http://www.pbs.org/teachersource/learning.now/wikis/

Also, Bob Pyke on the Web & Education discussion list (wwwedu) at Yahoo had some podcast sites for social studies:
Colonial Williamsburg podcasts: http://www.history.org/Media/podcasts.cfm
Smithsonian podcasts: http://www.smithsonian.org/podcasts/default.htm
Monticello podcasts: http://www.monticello.org/podcasts/index.html
Boston Freedom Trail podcast: http://www.boston.com/travel/boston/freedomtrail/podcast/

Actually, the Smithsonian podcasts offer science and the arts as well.
I'd also add my own personal favorite - Library of Congress. Haven't found podcasts there, but they do have webcasts that you can view. Definitely geared toward secondary level, though.
