Session description

Podcasts can provide an equitable avenue to support knowledge-rich curricula and the science of reading. Students can gain exposure to complex ideas, build essential background knowledge and engage with challenging storylines. This session provides ideas for curation and implementation before, during and after listening.

Purpose & objective

Attendees will understand that podcasts have become mainstream in our society and make connections to how that impacts our students.

Attendees will learn how to curate episodes that support their learning objectives and provide pathways for students to access information in new and important ways (UDL Principles will be highlighted)

Attendees will be exposed to multiple means of action and expression that students can complete both during and after listening. These include, but are not limited to, tools such as Google Slides, Adobe Express, Canva, AutoDraw, and Hyperdocs
