Podcasts are popular and used by a lot of people to learn new information. Meredith Akers shared her Podcasts and Pedometers list on her blog for educators. That got me thinking, "Why am I not using podcasts in the classroom for my students to learn from?"
So, I did some research and found some podcasts for students that are also able to listened to on our school computers and internet. I tried to find a variety of podcasts on different subjects to give students a range to choose from. Students can access this menu through Google Classroom.

I also created a reflection form for students to share what they are learning or wondering. I made one to print and one that I add to Google Classroom for students to fill out digitally.

Right now, we are in the middle of STAAR review so students are able to listen to podcasts as one of their activities for the week. I plan on adding Podcasts for brainPOWER to our blended learning rotations/choice boards next year and even allow them to walk while listening.
How you already use podcasts in your classroom? Which other podcasts do I need to check out for my students?
I'd love to hear how you use this menu in your classroom!
