While Dr. King (of Martin Luther fame) encouraged people worldwide to dream for peace, Dr. Kathleen King is on a mission to help educators worldwide incorporate podcasting into their curriculum as a teaching and innovation tool.

A frequent speaker on the role podcasting plays in education, most recently at the Podcast & Portable Media Expo as well as the International Podcasting Expo, Dr. King has written a new book on the convergence between technology and education called Harnessing Innovative Technology for Higher Education (although she’s authored many other titles). She’s not finished there as a newly minted contract with her publisher will set her up to publish two titles a year.

On top of that, Dr. King launched 2 services this year to help bring together educators interested in podcasting, ILearnRadio.org and BX Media. Of course, she hosts a couple of podcasts, one called Adventures in Transformative Learning, the other Podcast for Teachers.

Dr. King is the area code that completes the 10-digit conference call number and she’s my pick as a Top 10 savvy woman in podcasting for 2006.
