Podcasts For Learning

Because of my recent dedication to using Podcasts To Learn about a wide variety of items, today's Lunch N' Learn is all about Podcasts.  Podcasts are NOT new, but in preparation for today's learning opportunity with teachers, many teachers don't know how podcasts work, where to get podcasts, or how to distribute them to the students.

What's made podcasts better for me in recent weeks, is the need to NOT download podcasts but to simply stream them via a computer or mobile device.  This allows for "what do I want to listen to today" to occur when the time is available.

Some of the best educational podcasts I find helpful are below:

• Wired Educator - Interviews with great teachers
• Speed of Creativity - So much creativity and creation
• EdTech Take Out - Two teachers discussing education
• Question of the Day - Tremendous questions, intriguing answers
• 99% Invisible - Learning about objects and ideas
• The Sport of Business - Leadership ideas and concepts
• Under The Influence - Marketing ideas
• Educators Lead - Passionate educators
• The Football Coaching Podcast - Football. 
• Song Exploder - Musical Artists Interviewed
• Podcast Awards - Enormous list of podcasts from different topics

I also like Dodger Talk! (It's educational, baseball style)

You'll need a Podcast App for listening on the go!
You can also find all podcasts on a computer!

I recently provided my fourth listicle on Podcasts For Learning.
