Get inspiration on podcasts in education
Are you curious about the uses of podcasts in education? Would you like to know more about the experiences of colleagues and experience recording a podcast yourself? Then come to the Living Lab at FSW on Thursday 28 November from 15:00 to 17:00 for the inspiration session Podcasts in education.
Teaching material or assignment form
Podcasts have become part of everyday life. You can find short news podcasts, in-depth podcasts about current affairs, podcasts with short stories, about film, sports and science. But podcasts are also very useful in education, either as teaching material or as an assignment format. Making a good podcast is easier and less time-consuming than making a good knowledge clip. SOLO has a podcast studio and can support recording and editing. Currently, the podcast studio is still mainly used for recording podcasts for the benefit of (science) communication. This is something SOLO Education Support would like to change!
Programme
During the inspiration session on 28 November, Rachel Plak and Astrid van Weyenberg will talk about their use of podcasts in education. Afterwards, you can get busy yourself in the mini-workshop podcasting by colleague Erik van Duijn, discuss podcasts in education at the round table or listen to good examples of podcasts in education in the listening corner.
Join us!
Sign up and get inspired! Also, listen in advance to this podcast in which Kim Stroet and Rachel Plak talk more about their Grassroots projects using podcasts in their teaching.
A richer picture with different voices
Kim Stroet on her choice to start using podcasts: ‘Through a podcast, I can give a richer picture of how different people think [about educational innovation]. For example, I want to ask children - how do they see it? - parents of course, and also teachers, policy makers and employers. Different people have different views and I think that makes it a much livelier and richer picture of how you can look at it. And that helps students, I hope, to form their own considered, well-argued idea of what they themselves think.’
People with autism sharing their own story
Rachel Plak on why podcasts are valuable in her teaching: ‘I [am] not the right person to talk about the experiences of autistic people, what they are going through, what they are up against. That's not for me to tell and share that with students. I think people with autism are best qualified to share their story themselves. And so that's how I try to give the podcast a place in education.’
