Length: 5 Days
Objective: Students will be able to share their learning about a topic or concept through the creation of a podcast.
Grade Level: 4-12
Standards:
The theory behind podcasting for students: Give students a voice, choice, and agency.
Teaching students require relationships, connections, and showing kids that you value what they are learning and how they learn it. Podcasting allows kids’ voices to come through on things they think are really important.
Teaching skills for the future Podcasting is one of the communication tools of the future. Podcasts are a new frontier – and the possibilities are endless! Teaching podcasting allows students to practice the 4c’s of future-ready students: Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, and Creativity.
Creating a platform for the entire year – and beyond! Teachers could think of podcasting as a platform for sharing student thinking all year long – or in smaller chunks of units and lesson assessment.
