A Teacher’s Guide to Podcasts

Use this A Teacher’s Guide to Podcasts to help you stay current in your teaching practice. In this digital age, it is important as well as challenging to remain relevant to our students in the classroom. But why is relevance important in the classroom?

Teaching material often becomes outdated. Standards for materials are being changed constantly, and the way the material was taught 5, 10, or 20 years ago is not relevant anymore. The way students learn is also ever-evolving. These days, we now know that different students require different ways of learning and absorbing material – not everyone can learn just by reading a textbook.

Therefore, the materials we present and the manner in which we present them need to be both appealing to our students as well as accomplish the curriculum goals.

A great way to meet both of these objectives is to incorporate podcasts into your lessons and curriculum. However, if podcasts are new to you, or you are unfamiliar with ones that are appropriate for middle school students, you might be wondering where to start when it comes to using them. That is where this guide to podcasts comes in handy.
