    Hey all, Derek from @sedck12 checking in to #UTedChat. I love too many podcasts to name a single fav, but I'll say @HouseOfEdTech & everything from @EduPodNet, @_PenAddictFM & everything from @_RelayFM. All the great shows! #PodcastPD

  • covili - Moderator Apr 25 @ 11:05 PM EDT
    Also love the crime pods - Dirty John, Serial, Up and Vanished. #utedchat
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:05 PM EDT
    Yes, Lore! I love it. So many great stories. I drove from Philadelphia to Gettysburg a few summers ago and that was my podcast of choice wandering through Pennsylvania backroads. #Utedchat

    Leaders are readers and I love how he highlights different books and has the authors describe their WHY for writing the book. He helps me shrink my reading list to key books. 😊 #utedchat

    Get ready for Q1: Which podcasts have you used in your life to engage with a larger community? #UTedChat
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:10 PM EDT
    Q1 coming your way! Remember A1 to answer! #utedchat
  • lars3eb - Moderator Apr 25 @ 11:10 PM EDT
    You know who I'm chatting with on a video call? The one and only Master Enabler in the area of #PodcastPD, @MrNesi who was a featured speaker at #UCET18. #UTedChat
  • Vote4Kami Apr 25 @ 11:11 PM EDT
    Hi! I’m Kami. When I’m not running for the school board, I spend my days hanging out in schools in Granite and playing with my 18 month old, who always wants to go outside. #UTedchat
  • marcihouseman Apr 25 @ 11:11 PM EDT
    I get behind sometimes but have really enjoyed every episode I have listened to. I have also found some great books as a result of his recommendations! #UTedChat

  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:12 PM EDT
    #UTedChat If you are new to #podcasts and want to get started listening to educational podcasts, here is a list of the top educational podcasts in 2017: https://t.co/sn9jaXRVkL
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:12 PM EDT
    A1 - I have used various punk and rock podcasts to relate back to my past and present as a young punk internally, but recently have started to listen to great educational podcasts like @mrnesi and his house of edtech. It just opens so many doors for learning #utedchat
  • CharlotteRMcGe2 Apr 25 @ 11:12 PM EDT
    Hi all! Charlotte McGee here. 6th grade teacher in American Fork. #UTedChat
  • Vote4Kami Apr 25 @ 11:12 PM EDT
    A1: So, I guess I’m behind times. I don’t listen to podcasts, but I’m willing to take suggestions. I listen to talk radio but that gets a little boring. #UTedchat
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:13 PM EDT
    Great to have you here! #utedchat
    In reply to @CharlotteRMcGe2
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:13 PM EDT
    It does, I agree. I just tweeted out a list of the best educational podcasts from last year, a great place to start. #utedchat
    In reply to @Vote4Kami
  • MsKolilis Apr 25 @ 11:14 PM EDT
    #utedchat A1: so many podcasts tell stories that take you to new places and help build empathy. This American Life, of course, but I also love This I Believe, essentially personal narratives. Both creating and listening to these narratives helps me engage in a larger community.
  • covili - Moderator Apr 25 @ 11:14 PM EDT
    The first time I saw the power of podcasts to build community was with Serial. It seemed like everyone was listening to it and we all wanted to discuss. #utedchat
  • marcihouseman Apr 25 @ 11:15 PM EDT
    A1: I have enjoyed engaging with @alienearbud and the educator community associated with his podcast: Better Leaders Better Schools. https://t.co/C3StsNwNDw #UTedChat
    • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:10 PM EDT
      Get ready for Q1: Which podcasts have you used in your life to engage with a larger community? #UTedChat
  • DrWinkelmann Apr 25 @ 11:15 PM EDT
    A1:The first podcast I followed was @serial. It got me hooked. Since then, I’ve listened to a ton. I just listened to @mikeroweworks and his podcast. Fantastic! #UTedChat
    In reply to @TeacherWinters, @serial, @mikeroweworks
  • anderbrooke Apr 25 @ 11:17 PM EDT
    A1: I've loved getting into fun of live podcast shows- like Welcome to Nightvale and How Did This Get Made? It's a whole new type of theater. #utedchat
    • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:10 PM EDT
      Get ready for Q1: Which podcasts have you used in your life to engage with a larger community? #UTedChat
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:17 PM EDT
    Q2 coming your way! #utedchat
  • marcihouseman Apr 25 @ 11:17 PM EDT
    I will have to check this one out! #UTedChat
    In reply to @covili
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:18 PM EDT
    #UTedChat Q2 - How do podcasts create larger experiences for listeners? Conversely, how do podcasts create singular, personal experiences?
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:18 PM EDT
    Nightvale is such a great podcast that shows how one medium can become multiple mediums through expansion of the narrative. Love it! #utedchat
    In reply to @anderbrooke
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:20 PM EDT
    A2 - Just like an old school radio show, if you have the right audience then it can be a large scale experience a la War of the Worlds. However, I love the intimate nature of podcast storytelling through Lore and Nightvale or the recent Marvel story podcasts. #utedchat
  • marcihouseman Apr 25 @ 11:20 PM EDT
    I love watching his Facebook video series “Returning the Favor.” A recent one was filmed here in Utah! #UTedChat
    In reply to @DrWinkelmann, @TeacherWinters, @serial, @mikeroweworks
  • DrWinkelmann Apr 25 @ 11:20 PM EDT
    A2: We consume info in so many ways. As educational professionals, we need one skill to supersede all others: Listen. Listen to peers, students, families, and podcasts. #UTedChat
    In reply to @TeacherWinters
  • marcihouseman Apr 25 @ 11:20 PM EDT
    Let me know what you think! 😊 #utedchat
    In reply to @Vote4Kami, @alienearbud
  • Vote4Kami Apr 25 @ 11:20 PM EDT
    A2: Larger, we get to see different perspectives. On a personal note, it makes us more reflective and introspective. #UTedChat
  • covili - Moderator Apr 25 @ 11:21 PM EDT
    I’m dying here. 22-3 run against the Jazz. Argh!!! I still love podcasts though 😊 #UTedchat
  • anderbrooke Apr 25 @ 11:21 PM EDT
    A2: I appreciate the podcast narrative-reporting format. It makes an informative experience personal by making it just as much about empathy and imagination as fact. And, of course, all you want to do is tell someone else the story! #utedchat
    • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:18 PM EDT
      #UTedChat Q2 - How do podcasts create larger experiences for listeners? Conversely, how do podcasts create singular, personal experiences?
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:22 PM EDT
    I think that is crux of podcasting: you can show empathy, tell a good story and really pull in an audience's imagination if you play your card right. One of the best things about podcasting. #utedchat
    In reply to @anderbrooke
  • MsKolilis Apr 25 @ 11:23 PM EDT
    #UTedChat A2: I think podcasts have this opportunity to connect to so many different communities. I instantly feel more connected to someone who listens to the same podcasts as me. I also feel more engaged in communities connected to the podcast i.e. education podcasts
  • covili - Moderator Apr 25 @ 11:24 PM EDT
    A2 A good podcast feels like a conversation with friends. #UTedchat
  • marcihouseman Apr 25 @ 11:24 PM EDT
    A2: For me, podcasts expose me to big thinking. I enjoy listening and learning from different perspectives both in and outside of education. It’s important to be open to learning from different fields and different approaches to thinking. #utedchat
    • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:18 PM EDT
      #UTedChat Q2 - How do podcasts create larger experiences for listeners? Conversely, how do podcasts create singular, personal experiences?
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:25 PM EDT
    It really does. Some of my favorite podcasts are just like sitting down with your friends, but they have an endless table for everyone. #utedchat
    In reply to @covili
  • lars3eb - Moderator Apr 25 @ 11:25 PM EDT
    Sorry about that, I got distracted but am back now and ready to keep learning from the #UTedChat crew about some awesome #PodcastPD tips and ideas!
  • HowardKiyuna Apr 25 @ 11:25 PM EDT
    A2: I've never thought of turning Ss onto podcasts. There's so much there and it's' less distracting than video. It'd be like activating the wikipedia wormhole. #UTedchat
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:26 PM EDT
    #UTedChat Q3 - How are podcasts educational in nature?
  • marcihouseman Apr 25 @ 11:26 PM EDT
    This! Monitor your airtime (listen more than you talk). Listen to learn. Listen to lead. #UTedChat
    • DrWinkelmann Apr 25 @ 11:20 PM EDT
      A2: We consume info in so many ways. As educational professionals, we need one skill to supersede all others: Listen. Listen to peers, students, families, and podcasts. #UTedChat
      In reply to @TeacherWinters
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:27 PM EDT
    It is another way to increase their ability to connect with the world. I use it to create my PLN as well, and it could be used in the same way for students. #utedchat.
    In reply to @HowardKiyuna
  • Vote4Kami Apr 25 @ 11:28 PM EDT
    A3: Podcasts are definitely educational in nature. It would be great to use clips of some of these in teaching or having kids create their own. Speaking and Listening! #UTedChat
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:28 PM EDT
    A3 - I think when you cut down podcasts to their core, they are essentially used for informational transfer. However, a lot of them are considered to be for relaxation and entertainment but really they are still teaching us something. #utedchat
  • anderbrooke Apr 25 @ 11:29 PM EDT
    A3: You can't help but learn in most instances because you are engaged. #utedchat
  • marcihouseman Apr 25 @ 11:29 PM EDT
    I agree! I have probably read at least as many leadership books from the business field as I have read leadership books in education. #UTedChat
    In reply to @Vote4Kami
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:30 PM EDT
    Exactly! I love this idea! #utedchat
    In reply to @anderbrooke
  • disudds Apr 25 @ 11:30 PM EDT
    Sorry. I just can’t do #utedchat tonight. I’m in too far with the #jazz.
  • HowardKiyuna Apr 25 @ 11:30 PM EDT
    We were discussing current events on twitter this week. Wondering if there were podcasts geared for Ss on current events. Only a few websites and CNN10 that I could think of. What a great project to have it Ss run. Great writing/editing opportunity. Created an AV squad. #UTedchat
    In reply to @TeacherWinters
  • MsKolilis Apr 25 @ 11:31 PM EDT
    #UTedchat A3: as an ELA teacher, how aren’t podcasts educational? You can find excellent narrative podcasts, informational podcasts like Stuff You Should Know. Even podcasts that may seem less educational in content you could still explore for tone, structure, style.
  • marcihouseman Apr 25 @ 11:31 PM EDT
    I’m watching too...c’mon Jazz!! #utedchat
    In reply to @covili
  • lars3eb - Moderator Apr 25 @ 11:31 PM EDT
    A1 I listen to podcasts almost constantly and am always learning new things. But I especially love @PodcastPD w/ @MrNesi, @iRunTech, & @AJBianco for connecting to the wider #PodcastPD community. #UTedChat
  • CharlotteRMcGe2 Apr 25 @ 11:31 PM EDT
    A3: I have not done much with podcasts, but the wheels are turning... I am super excited to try some things with my students. #UTedChat
  • covili - Moderator Apr 25 @ 11:31 PM EDT
    A3. No question! I know podcasts are part of my professional learning. I listen to something everyday during my commute. #UTedchat
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:32 PM EDT
    Absolutely and it is fairly easy to do. I have some ideas to share later in the hour that can help teachers set up their own podcast stations in their classes. #utedchat
    In reply to @HowardKiyuna
  • heidihaggard5 Apr 25 @ 11:33 PM EDT
    #utedchat just arriving - Heidi from Davis District - I love podcasts personally but haven’t used them in class yet. These podcasts look promising for this evening.
    In reply to @vb_kristin, @covili
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:33 PM EDT
    100% agreed! #utedchat
    In reply to @Vote4Kami, @HowardKiyuna
  • Vote4Kami Apr 25 @ 11:33 PM EDT
    Taking a break right now to save some of these podcasts on my phone, so I can actually listen to them tomorrow! #UTedChat
  • KATBioED Apr 25 @ 11:34 PM EDT
    A3: I haven't ever listened to a podcast I didn't learn something from #utedchat
  • marcihouseman Apr 25 @ 11:34 PM EDT
    Oh my goodness! One of my professional heroes jumped into our #utedchat!! Thanks Jeff!!
    In reply to @THEjeffbrown, @vb_kristin, @anderbrooke
  • anderbrooke Apr 25 @ 11:34 PM EDT
    A3.2: I also enjoy listening to podcasts made by persons of color: The Nod and Code Switch, for example. It gives me perspective & insight that can be hard to come by, and also hard to ask for. #utedchat
  • lars3eb - Moderator Apr 25 @ 11:34 PM EDT
    A2 Podcasts can tell stories allowing you to escape where you are and learn how to create learning environments for your students. When we use stories we are able to connect more fully w/ students. #UTedChat #PodcastPD
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:35 PM EDT
    #UTedChat Q4 - How can podcasts be applied across curricula and content areas?
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:35 PM EDT
    YES! Shameless plug - Check out my podcast with @qhenderson https://t.co/NbG6agVjSk Just had an @covili on it this week! #UTedChat
    In reply to @Vote4Kami, @qhenderson, @covili
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:35 PM EDT
    Have not heard of these two podcasts, except in passing, but I will have to add them to my playlist this week! #UTedChat
    In reply to @anderbrooke
  • lars3eb - Moderator Apr 25 @ 11:36 PM EDT
    Yes, we MUST develop better listening skills as educators and if we can help our students to also increase their listening skills we will change the world! #UTedChat #PodcastPD
    In reply to @DrWinkelmann, @TeacherWinters
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:37 PM EDT
    #UTedChat Need a microphone for your podcast, here is a breakdown of some of the best - https://t.co/b0lyWJfz9V However, if you want your students to record audio, try having them use their mobile device's built-in microphone. Its free and can get a lot of decent audio.
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:37 PM EDT
    A4 - I currently use them as projects in creative writing to explore science fiction, as a possible final project for students to get their work out to the world, and last year as a way to explore immigration narratives and have students write with empathy. #utedchat
  • marcihouseman Apr 25 @ 11:37 PM EDT
    A3: At it’s core, education is about becoming. Growing. Learning. With the ultimate objective of making the world a better place. So, podcasts that contribute to that ultimate objective are educational in nature. 😊 #utedchat
  • KATBioED Apr 25 @ 11:37 PM EDT
    A4: students can listen to content specific podcasts and then make their own in small groups #utedchat
  • heidihaggard5 Apr 25 @ 11:38 PM EDT
    Have you listened to Pod Save the People? Also good. #utedchat
    In reply to @anderbrooke
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:38 PM EDT
    Such a great suggestion! https://t.co/imTGX7bqWb #UTedChat
    In reply to @heidihaggard5, @anderbrooke
  • covili - Moderator Apr 25 @ 11:39 PM EDT
    A4 One of my favorite aspects of podcasts - variety. You can learn about any topic you want. I like exploring ideas outside my comfort zone. #UTedchat
  • HowardKiyuna Apr 25 @ 11:39 PM EDT
    We used to do video news casts in lieu of the traditional report. I guess why not a podcast? (It is proper to put a question mark on a rhetorical question isn't it?) #utedchat
  • anderbrooke Apr 25 @ 11:39 PM EDT
    A4: It's the beauty of being an ELA teacher, you can read and write about anything. Having students go through the writing process in English class for a podcast on Science/Math/History/Health content is a perfect example of cross-curricular teaching. #utedchat
  • TeacherPopeUT Apr 25 @ 11:40 PM EDT
    A3 Podcast are built on conversations--good conversations. Students learn best through authentic dialogue. #UTedchat
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:40 PM EDT
    I would 100% agree with you on this. I have found it to be a slightly easier method to get the same results for a project like this. Also absolutely to your question mark! #UTedChat
    In reply to @HowardKiyuna
  • MsKolilis Apr 25 @ 11:40 PM EDT
    #UTedchat A4: creating podcasts can go the extra-level of being cross curricular. You could assign a research topic in history/science/health and have them research in that class and format and plan in English. This is honestly something I’ve thought about.
  • lars3eb - Moderator Apr 25 @ 11:40 PM EDT
    It for sure does. I know I've heard poscasters mention how strange it is to meet fans and have them know so much about them but yet not know the fans at all. Its a mostly one-sided relationship for sure. #UTedChat #PodcastPD
    In reply to @covili
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:41 PM EDT
    So much this. I love that aspect of ELA. We can use anything we like to teach our subject matter. I use a lot of @NASA Soundcloud website to explore sound with my students - https://t.co/yv12gRZvtD #UTedChat
    In reply to @anderbrooke, @NASA
  • marcihouseman Apr 25 @ 11:42 PM EDT
    Thanks for these suggestions! Will definitely add them to my list! #utedchat
    In reply to @anderbrooke
  • lars3eb - Moderator Apr 25 @ 11:42 PM EDT
    A3 I love podcasts because they allow me to learn what I want when I want to learn it. Definitely a #PersonalizedPD approach. #UTedChat #PodcastPD
  • TeacherPopeUT Apr 25 @ 11:42 PM EDT
    A4 Podcasts could provide for more meaningful homework because they allow students more purposeful reflection opportunities. #UTedchat
  • MsKolilis Apr 25 @ 11:42 PM EDT
    #UTedchat A4.2: I have had students create their own This I Believe narrative podcasts after listening to some great ones and discussing what makes a really good narrative. Honestly a VERY successful activity.
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:43 PM EDT
    #UTedChat Q5 - What would an assignment with a podcast component look like in your school?
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:43 PM EDT
    Agreed! Also they can be easily integrated into a group assignment that students get excited about. #UTedChat
    In reply to @TeacherPopeUT
  • lars3eb - Moderator Apr 25 @ 11:44 PM EDT
    And isn't that something all educators also said about their classes? That learning is unstoppable in their rooms because the engagement levels are so high. It should be the goal of all EDUs. #UTedChat #PodcastPD

  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:45 PM EDT
    A5 - Students working together with a common goal in mind to create an original piece with interesting and engaging content for a large, possibly global audience. So many curriculum goal checked with podcasting in the classroom. #utedchat
  • MsKolilis Apr 25 @ 11:45 PM EDT
    I’m calling this my A5 for #UTedChat :)

  • anderbrooke Apr 25 @ 11:46 PM EDT
    A5: When building background for Diary of Anne Frank, I enjoyed playing students real news radio clips from WWII. Then they built their own brief news clips with simple sound effects & shared them. Wish I would have extended it to turn diary itself into a podcast #utedchat
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:48 PM EDT
    Such a great lesson plan - have you checked out this site - https://t.co/sv1WJ9V3u7 Students can tour the Anne Frank house on their computers. I loved it when I taught Anne Frank. #utedchat
    In reply to @anderbrooke
  • KATBioED Apr 25 @ 11:48 PM EDT
    A5: My students could create a "You Be The Scientist" podcast detailing how to conduct a science project in chemistry or biology. I've thought about pairing tis with science fair and having live taking sessions #utedchat
  • heidihaggard5 Apr 25 @ 11:48 PM EDT
    A4 I’ve been reading novels I plan on using next year in Read 180 and think that listening to a podcast with the author would be relevant and interesting to students. (Specifically thinking of @JasonReynolds83 - he gives dynamic interviews, as do many others.) #utedchat
    In reply to @TeacherWinters, @JasonReynolds83
  • lars3eb - Moderator Apr 25 @ 11:48 PM EDT
    A4 What better tool to use to help students learn on their time and help prepare for class. I know I prefer to listen over reading, mostly for time and the ability to speed things up. What a great learning tool! #UTedChat #PodcastPD
  • Vote4Kami Apr 25 @ 11:49 PM EDT
    A5: We always look for ideas to challenge some of our gifted kids. What about having a student just do a podcast on whatever they want, a day in the life of a 6th grader, what I wish teachers knew, etc. #utedchat
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:50 PM EDT
    #UTedChat Q6 - What are your barriers to adding podcasts to your curriculum?
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:51 PM EDT
    There are so many great options out there to do this. However, why not have the students formulate questions about the novel that they would like to ask the author and then see if the author can do a Skype or Google Hangout session with your class #Utedchat

    #UTedChat Looking to start your own podcasts, or want to encourage students to do their own? Mobile podcasting is possible - https://t.co/TDXPPNRSg2

    A6: Logistics can be a barrier: Keeping functional headphones and microphones in supply. And finding students a quiet place to record. You can't all record in the classroom together at the same time :-( #utedchat

    A5: Just finished the book #PowerofMoments & learned about a project that was a collaboration between History & English department: the trial of human nature. Would love to see a podcast approach to this trial! Interviews, defense, prosecution, witnesses, judge. #utedchat

    A6 - Right now, for me, none. I have a recording station in my classroom and I can record any time. I use a TASCAM recorder and two Shure microphones with Adobe Audition to edit the audio. It is what I am comfortable with but there are a lot of options for teachers #utedchat

    A6 This is my goal! I am going to start a podcast this year! #UTedchat
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:53 PM EDT
    Very true. I often just send them out into the hall and have them record there. This also has worked for my @Flipgrid sessions with students. #utedchat

    #UTedchat A6: for me, figuring out the right/user friendly recording program and recording devices. Shout out to @TeacherWinters for addressing those very concerns in this chat!

    #UTedChat If you are interested in getting into podcasting for yourself, here is a link to an upcoming summit SLC - https://t.co/F1brqF0N0v Also you could check out - https://t.co/HPXaJe3pM6 if you are in southern Utah.

    A6: Current barriers are mostly centered on a lack of equipment, but that can easily be addressed with grants - hoping my recent submissions and soon #utedchat

    So I would be remiss if I did plug my fledgling podcast with @qhenderson - Edtrex Rewind. If you are interested in being a guest, let me know and I will find you a spot in the coming months. https://t.co/NbG6agVjSk #utedchat

    Thanks for a great chat everyone. Sorry I was a bit distracted. Should have focused here instead of the Jazz game 😩 #UTedchat

    A5 I'd love to see a weekly podcast where the students share out a summary of all the things they have learned. They can write it, record it, edit it, and then publish it. What a great review and reflection! #UTedChat #PodcastPD
  • TeacherWinters Apr 25 @ 11:58 PM EDT
    Thank you, all, for contributing to #UTedChat tonight! I appreciated your comments and ideas.
  • marcihouseman Apr 25 @ 11:58 PM EDT
    Come on Jazz!! #utedchat
  • lars3eb - Moderator Apr 25 @ 11:58 PM EDT
    A5 Or how about where every chapter you have the students create an audio review of the content so the next year students can use that in their learning? I'd love to see that one too! #UTedChat #PodcastPD
  • KATBioED Apr 25 @ 11:59 PM EDT
    Thanks @TeacherWinters for an awesome #utedchat
  • lars3eb - Moderator Apr 25 @ 11:59 PM EDT
    A5 Maybe even have students create a bi-weekly show where they interview different faculty members as well as some District level folks and share the story of their school/district? #UTedChat #PodcastPD
