Spreaker: Create a free live podcast.

#edtech #podcasting

Several options for accounts but the free account will probably be enough to suit the needs of many teachers/classrooms.

In the past I used Aviary to podcast with students but since the tools are no longer available Spreaker looks like a nice replacement. Actually it looks easier.

Kids love to record and listen to themselves. Podcasting is a great way and with Spreaker it can also be shared with family and friends.

What can your students podcast? Anything! Check out Listening to Themselves: Podcasting Takes Lessons Beyond the Classroom from Edutopia to get some fantastic ideas.

Vantage Learning Blog: Turn The Paige | On Helping Children Self-Regulate:

vantagelearningblog:

We live in a stressful world. Part of this, of course, is due to the technology-driven, achievement-obsessed, full-frenzied pace of the good, ol’ American life. And part of it is, well, just life itself.

As child-development studies enhance our understanding of our children’s psyches, we know…

“If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere, insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?”

“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of disaster, I remember my mother’s words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world.”
