A tool that I have found to be useful in the classroom is Quizizz. It's a fun way to complete a knowledge check on material the students have just learned. The teacher can then take a closer look at which problems were most missed and can evaluate ways to reteach. #UNLTechEdge

A4: Incorporating podcasts for a research project could be so fun for elementary students. Have them research a certain topic, whether that be about a person or a place, and record a podcast-like presentation on flipgrid to share with peers! #ditchbook

Q4 What are some creative ways that our students can use podcasting to teach others? #Ditchbook

A3 continued: You could also use podcasts as an extension for learning! Finding a podcast that talks about something incorporated in your lesson can help with understanding the topic further in a fun way! #ditchbook

[Maddie Rushing @maddierushing13]

A3: A thought I had would be to have students research an educational podcast and listen to an episode while at home. At school they could meet in groups to discuss their findings and talk about the things they learned from the podcasts. This would get that initial interest going

A1: I think it's always a great idea to expose the students to the idea first with no assignment attached! Start slow and grab their attention with something fun. Using interactive slides would help to gauge the students' understanding. #ditchbook

Q1 How can we teach our students the process of planning and preparing for a podcast? Share templates, tools, lessons and ideas! #Ditchbook

@rlfreedm Such a great point!

[Maddie Rushing @maddierushing13]

A2: Flipgrid is always a great resource! The students could record their podcast on video this way. Voice memos are another great alternative!

Q2 Once you have a podcast planned and prepared what are some classroom friendly tools you could use to record them? #Ditchbook

A1: I am an undergrad student getting my degree in Education and Human Sciences! I honestly don't have a lot of thoughts or ideas about this topic, but I'm excited to learn more through this chat (:
