Inspire your teaching practice with podcasts!

EduMagician,

Are you looking to own your professional development? Want to take learning into your own hands (or, in this case – ears?) I am excited to share how you can do just that – through podcasts! Podcasts are excellent resources to learn and grow on topics of your choice in an hour a day during your commute or in your PJs! I started to listen to podcasts to learn more about different teaching topics for new teachers to inform my pedagogy and practice for preservice educators.

What are podcasts?

• Audio shows different topics.

• The length of podcasts varies from ten minutes to an hour (or longer!).

• There are podcasts available to you on every topic under the sun.

• Podcasts are FREE to subscribe to. Some of my favorite apps to listen to Podcasts include Google Play, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Pocketcast, and TuneIn.

There is a podcast show or episode out there for everyone. Subscribe and give them a listen! I know you will enjoy them.

• EduMagic - A podcast for preservice teachers. Join host Dr. Sam Fecich as she interviews preservice teachers using EduMagic to rock their college careers.

• House of Edtech - Learn all about educational technology tools and how to use them in your classroom with a purpose and meaning behind them. I love Chris’ tagline – educational technology isn’t tricky; give it a try!

• Teachers need Teachers - This podcast is designed for new and beginning educators. Kim Lepre offers sound advice, tangible takeaways, and strategies to help you thrive during the first year of teaching.
