Tim Carey shared with us today why he began podcasting. He uses it as a way to engage in professional learning and to gain fresh perspectives, as in his podcasts he reflects on his own teaching and interviews other educators. He believes that you need to challenge yourself in order to achieve growth, and this is his way of doing just that. He pointed out that podcasts can be an easy way for educators to keep up with new ideas and perspectives, especially if you don’t have the time to read, as podcasts can be listened to while engaged in other activities like driving or doing chores. He uses the app Anchor to publish his podcasts.
While I don’t think I’ll start listening to podcasts, it is good to know that this form of information is out there and that there could be cool podcasts to share with classes.
I like how you listed examples within this blog. It is a short and sweet blog! lists key topics discussed within the presentation.
