Tweeting - Not Just for the Birds!

Another podcast I found interesting is KCRW Art Talk. Its podcasts include reviews from art critics Edward Goldman and Hunter Drohojowska-Philp, and discusses contemporary art and artists. While these are podcasts that I am interested in personally, they will also benefit me professionally, as part of our Georgia Standards of Excellence involve exposure to contemporary artists. While these podcasts are more cumbersome to search through (since I don’t know many of the artists or whether I am interested in their style or background), there is an element of surprise when I discover something that I could use along with a concept that I’m already teaching.
Podcasts = Opportunity
Below is a podcast I created to announce our school’s yearbook contest. After previously using ten minutes of instructional time explaining the contest during a 40-minute class, I’m excited to use my one-minute podcast to share the details ahead of time so that I can answer questions and give feedback. I’m beginning to see how the possibilities with podcasts are not only endless, but extremely beneficial to teachers, students, parents, and all involved with supporting the educational goals for each and every child.
