Teaching With Podcasts Home › Professional Development › Strategy Guides Strategy Guide Podcasts are serial recordings, posted regularly online. Robert Rozema describes a podcast as "a blog in audio form" (31). Basically, producing podcasts is the technology-based equivalent of oral storytelling. Podcasts can be used for any purpose a text might serve-they can tell fictional stories, share and comment on recent events, inform listeners about a topic, and persuade listeners to take an action or adopt a stance. Students can produce podcasts that fit any genre, including audio diary entries, analytical commentary on readings or current events, informational recordings that explain concepts, and persuasive and argumentative statements. Review your district's appropriate use policies to determine the requirements for a podcasting site that students can use.
Digital Portfolios | Creative Educator Create memorable learning archives Your students are creating fantastic projects to show what they know. You can take their learning, and your ability to assess their achievement, to an even higher level using digital portfolios. Portfolios have long been a mainstay in the visual arts, where skill and expertise cannot be accurately represented by percentage points and letter grades. A digital portfolio is a computer-based collection of student performance over time. What Should a Digital Portfolio Include? When used as a student assessment tool, digial portfolios should demonstrate that “the student is involved in meaningful performance tasks; there are clear standards and criteria for excellence; there is an emphasis on metacognition and self-evaluation; the student produces quality products and performances; there is a positive interaction between assessor and assessee.” One of the most important ingredients in a portfolio is the student’s reflection on their work. Why Go Digital?

How to Use Piktochart in Any (and Every) Classroom This post is part of our guide to using infographics in education. For more information, check out the guide here. I’m the instructional tech coordinator in a rural school district in Michigan. I love to think about transforming education. On a day to day basis, though, I have to be more concerned with small steps rather than radical change. The teachers I work with want simple, somewhat different, and effective. So this year, I put aside the plans I had to redefine school. One of those Packs focuses on Piktochart as a tool for creating infographics. Infographics are my go-to option when I’m asked for “something easy, but that’s more than a PowerPoint.” Whether the class just finished a traditional unit on The U.S. And Piktochart is my favorite tool for making these. My Tech Project Packs are sort of like FAQs for tech tools. What is an infographic? What are infographics best for? If you normally would assign a “PowerPoint”, these can be a more contemporary format. Examples:
