There are hundreds of resources online that outline how to make and publish a podcast, and we recommend that you find one that suits you and your students best. However, the basic steps for making a podcast can be found on our site by clicking the "Making your Own Podcast" button below. Alternatively, you can use the section of our site that outlines how to find and listen to podcasts.
This first podcast was created by fifth-graders at Crow Agency Public School in Montana. Their aim was to “debunk myths about Native Americans”. They wanted people to know that they are much like everyone else in terms of likes and what they do in their free time...and no, they don’t live in teepees.
This second podcast was created by Skyler Perry, a senior at The Wellington School in Columbus, Ohio. She interviews her father, Jim, about his new obsession: Pokemon Go. She explains that since she introduced her father to the game, he plays seven days a week, has joined the Pokemon community, making friends along the way, and has since caught 23,053 Pokemon.
Alternatively, EdTech students at the University of British Columbia developed a great Open Educational Resource on Mobile Collaboration. Since podcasting is a medium that suits mobile development and distribution really well, it may be a great approach to using and making podcasts with your students using the technologies they already have. To explore mobile collaboration in education, and see if it may link well with a podcasting class project, explore the website below!
