I produce my own podcast where I share ideas and interviews with great thinkers and I benefit personally from the new connections with those who respond to the podcast and share their thoughts as well. Each time I dive into a new conversation, I am made richer for the trouble. I see a day in the near future where staff development is self-directed and where teachers get full credit for the collaborative learning they do online.
 * __Name__:** Kevin Honeycutt

 * __Educational Institution__:** ESSDACK
 * __Teaching Environment__:** Teachers K-12
 * __Web 2.0 Focus__:** Podcasting
 * __Description__:** I love podcasts as a means of accessing new learning. They meet me where I live and add much to my commutes. There is something so wonderful about hearing the wisdom and experience of an educator who has sent their thoughts out to the world with only the hope of making a connection. In my view, it is these educators who will bring the world of possibility to their classrooms. I love Classroom 2.0 as a means of communicating to the educational world. I used to have many blogger blogs and web pages where I shared my thinking with very few people. Since joining this vibrant, active thought community I have gotten much more than I have shared and finally feel like a part of the larger educational world.
 * __Teaching and Learning__:**
 * __Preferred Applications__:**
 * __Mentor(s) and Hero(es)__:** List of mentors is too large to list but I'll tell you that it grows daily as I listen to and read the thoughts of those who are bold enough to share them freely. I look to leaders out there who continue to challenge me to push the envelop and extract all of the potential value of technology for learning that I can.
 * __Favorite Web 2.0 Applications Right Now__:** I absolutely love the free tools from Google like spreadsheets, docs, Sketchup etc. These easy-to-use assets hold tremendous possibility for teachers and learners and help us get kids ready for their futures.
