• Educational Duct Tape Question: How can we get students started with podcasting?
• • “Podcasting Mindset” - It doesn’t have to be about the tech!
  • Students have passions. Podcasting or speaking about their passions and giving them opportunities to share what they know about content.
  • The goal isn’t about launching on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Schools & classrooms are the safe space for them to fail and learn.
  • There are alternate mediums for podcasts - Slides with audio, PDFs, etc. Just need to use the right tool at the right time.
  • Micro-podcasting examples: Mote in Google Slides, Flipgrid mic only mode, audio files in padlet, etc — Focus on content creation!
  • How to get students interested or exposed to listening to podcasts?
  • • Encourage student to Google “what you’re interested in” podcast
    • Teachers can find amazing podcasts related to content. Even ones with students as hosts.
