8 terrific learning podcasts for students
SalonWhen podcasts first gained popularity in the early 2000s, they seemed to be a quaint throwback to radio. Teachers can encourage students to take one of the topics and research it more completely or to use it as a jumping-off point for science experiments and research-related questions. Grades 6–12 Science Friday with Ira Flatow covers a variety of complex science topics, which are great for high school students to use in research or when developing a project or paper. Teachers can find any scientific subject covered in the archives, so no matter what you're teaching, the podcast and accompanying curriculum can be priceless Grades 6–12 One of the largest oral history projects of its kind, StoryCorps consists of more than 50,000 interviews from more than 80,000 participants. Grades 6–12 Youth Radio is not only a great podcast for students, but it's also created by kids.
