Learning on the Go! #PodcastPD

7/4/2023

I admit it... There was a time during all the Covid craziness that I stopped listening to Podcasts for educational purposes. Maybe the world was just so distracting, I couldn't take in anything new? Maybe it was just too hard to plan ahead because of how quickly things were changing in schools?
I can't really explain it, but I've heard other educators say the same thing, so I realized I wasn't the only one! I did, however, find myself looking for Podcasts on topics based on my hobbies and self-care, which is apparently what I really needed. I'm sure you can relate!

After our #PD4uandme chat not too long ago, I realized that it was time to go through my Podcast subscriptions and share my current favorites with educators like me. As of right now, these are my top --- favorites.

#1 The Shake Up Learning Show

The Shake Up Learning Show with Kasey Bell has been my favorite for years now. When Kasey started the podcast, I was on the podcast launch team since I was a long time follower. Even though I still miss the original Google Teacher Tribe with Matt Miller, this podcast gives me my Google (and Kasey) fix. Her intro is spot on... "If you’re looking for PRACTICAL ideas that you can use in class tomorrow, look no further. The Shake Up Learning Show will help you become a more dynamic teacher and Shake Up Learning in your classroom!" Check it out!

#2 The Cult of Pedagogy Podcast

I feel like Jennifer Gonzalez started a podcast before it was the thing to do. She always has a way of staying on top of all the current trends in education with a nice mix of technology integration for purposeful teaching practices. Not only does she have a great podcast, she has a blog to go with each one.

Nesi, episodes can feature in-depth interviews with some of the most innovative and influential figures in the field and Christopher's own thoughts on education and technology."

#4 The EdTech News Brief

"Educational Technology Enthusiast, teacher, and #EduDuctTape Author Jake Miller shares the essential news in EdTech and keeps it brief, clear, and concise. Want to know what’s new, changed, updated, or deprecated? Wonder who changed their pricing or paid plan? Jake tells you here.

Personal Interest Podcasts ...

We moved out to a farm property outside of Charleston, so I've started getting into some new hobbies. We even have chickens, ducks, and a dog now! You may not be interested in homesteading, essential oils, self care, or Christian inspiration, but I thought I'd share for those of you that might be! Here are my top 3!
