Podcasts
Podcasts are a great way to learn on the go. With our busy summer schedules, this may be a great flexible option for you. I have provided a list of educational podcasts, but you are NOT limited to this list. Please choose podcasts that are beneficial to the position you have or the position you would like to have.
To gain credit, simply complete the PODCAST PD in K-12. The Google form will require a link to the podcast (or title if you can't find it) and a short summary of what you learned from the podcast. For additional credit, you can submit any new activities, lessons, or a product that you created because of your new knowledge. I will calculate the minutes spent listening and an estimate for any additional credit and place it in K-12. (I may need to contact you to see how much time you spent on any products associated with the podcast.)
If you highly recommend the podcast you chose, I would love for you to E-mail me so that I can add it to the list.
Podcasts are available through various free podcast websites and apps including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts. These can be used on any computer or mobile device.
