Teaching Vlogging, Podcasting, and More!
I recently participated in the Simple K12 Online Education Conference: An international conference that was 100% FREE!
This PD event was sponsored by SimpleK12, one of the leading providers of 21st century teacher professional development.

What are you waiting for? If you have not started to use podcasting or vlogging yourself or with your students, you really need to begin! It’s a fun, easy way to support your professional growth and the learning of the students that you serve. Your students have an innate desire to be heard and with simple, Web 2.0 tools they can be. Pick a project that you’re working on and transform it by using Capzules. Turn that poetry read into a podcast and do it on Spreaker. Present your latest research as a blog post and add audio on SoundCloud.
Questions? Have you tried any of these 3 great tools? Do you know of others? Not sure how to get started? There are many of us on the web that can support you if you feel unsure about the Vlogging, or Podcasting. Let me know by leaving a comment, what I can do to help you to begin to use these tools to enhance your professional work and support your students to stretch their learning outside of the box!
