About
Teachers can easily get into a rut, teaching their students the same way they’ve been doing for years. But this can be boring to students who are “digital natives.” This course will show you simple ways to break out of the traditional lecture-and-paper model, no matter the discipline, and instead teach lessons by listening to podcasts and having students create their own shows using free online tools.

Handouts:

· Presentation slides and notes
· Instruction sheets for creating simple podcasts
· Sample assignments used in class

Who should take this training:

· Educators of any discipline who wish to incorporate podcasts into their teaching
· Administrators looking for ways to modernize their curriculum
· People interested in creating their own podcasts to publicize their research, business, or hobbies
