What about PODCASTS?
Remember the days of listening to the radio and visualizing the words coming from the speaker? Well, now your students can practice this using podcasts that are created just for them.
Using podcasts in the classroom as whole group or as a listening center is a fantastic way to get kids thinking about innovative topics like space and volcanos.
There are podcasts geared around all different types of topics and they are so engaging for students to stop and listen to. Or even stop and jot during!
*Use a podcast to flip your classroom and have your students front load with the podcast before your lesson begins-even as a homework assignment!
Check out some student-friendly podcasts from Cult of Pedagogy! I wish I had stumbled across the podcast on the bat cave closer to Halloween! It would have been awesome to see their faces as they listened as the bats flew into the cave!
(Just going to put that one away for next year!)
Do you want more Podcasts? Check out the list over at PickleBums! So many fun podcasts to share with your students!
Lots of podcasts written by kids! HELLO! A perfect way to get kids writing!!!!
I love the idea of Sketch Noting!
(From The Secondary English Coffee Shop)
Hand out a large sheet of paper and lots of colored writing utensils.
Play a podcast in a large group setting and have students use words and pictures to record their thinking during the podcast.
