For my final podcast in the class, I will discuss how to address social justice issues within the classroom. I find that many educators struggle with this issue because it is so prominent today and many of our students are affected by them. It is also difficult because there are always more than one side to these issues- so it is hard to appropriately incorporate them into instruction to allow our students to learn from them.
Other educators will be able to use this podcast to gain knowledge and tips for their own classroom. I linked it to the new NY SEL benchmarks that were recently adopted. There are still things that I need to work on when it comes to my podcast, but overtime it will get better. I really focused on creating a list of bulleted points that I want to address (advice given to us in our special chat with "Captain") instead of reading completely off of something. This helps make the podcast more conversational and less monotone. Overall I definitely plan on incorporating more podcasts into my classroom- and even demonstrating to my students how to make them.

I had my colleague as a guest in my first official podcast, where I will discuss the use of technology in the classroom. It's really important to me that I present both the positive and negatives of using technology in the classroom. As I stated in my previous podcast, I am more interested in conversational podcasts that have a guest speaker who is knowledgable of the topic. Therefore, I did my best to keep the conversation flowing and interesting for listeners.
As you can see, I created a set of interviewing questions to ask my colleague in order to keep the conversation going. This podcast will be useful to other educators or those studying to be educators as it focuses on the positives and negatives of using technology in an educational setting. I feel this is a common issue for many educators as they are torn as to how to positively incorporate technology into their classrooms. They can use this podcast as a guide to help them in their own classrooms.
A podcast is a topic-specific digital stream of audio files (in some cases, video or PDF also) that can be downloaded to a computer or a wide variety of media devices. They are funny, entertaining, educational, often short, and rarely boring. They can cover news, current events, history, or pretty much anything the creator would like. When you subscribe, each new episode is automatically downloaded to your device, to be played at your convenience. You can play the entire stream or select an individual episode as part of your
Before creating my podcast, I listened to several others to get an idea of what kind of podcasts I like. I found that I am more interested in podcasts that are conversational and have guests. Podcasts would be a great tool to use within the classroom because students can listen to them and create them. It is a great tool to use when you need to differentiate instruction- a learner who may not be as good at writing can create a podcast instead of completing a writing assignment. Overall, podcasts are great to use in the classroom across content specialities.
My group and I worked on a global collaborative project that was focused around making the world more sustainable in all different aspects-from the environment, to our youth, to our economy! Everything is connected in our world today- therefore our actions serve a large impact on everything that is around us.
