Voice is on the rise. Podcast listenership continues to grow. Smart speakers are selling like hotcakes. With all of this buzz around audio content, maybe now is the time to incorporate podcasting in your classroom. However, it doesn't have to be complicated. You can do it with a simple tool you may already use -- Google Slides -- and a free audio recording tool. I ran across a blog post by Jen Giffen (@virtualgiff) and love her solution for it. In this episode, I will share the steps that Jen provides for podcasting with Google Slides. Link: http://virtualgiff.blogspot.com/2020/02/podcasting-in-classroom.html

(Expeditions page on Google for Education) Android Apps on Chromebooks 6 Android Apps to Try on a Chromebook Lisa Scumpieru (Hagerstown, MD) -- Hello. I listened to episode 99 and I liked the idea of Jamboard as a portfolio system. I have not used it as a portfolio system, but I think that it most definitely could be used in that manner. This is how I think it could work: Set up a Jamboard with pages that have two pages per marking period to start. Have one page named "Best Work and Reflection" and the other page as "Goals". Best Work - students would bring it in from their Drive. Reflection - placed on a post-it next to the work. Goals - This would be student choice - let them draw their goals or find pictures to represent what they will do for the next marking period. Have them add one post-it explaining their work.  To go a step further with this, have the students screencast their Jams explaining their portfolio and then add it to Google Classroom or even a Google Site. Note: When a teacher sets up the Jamboard template, all they need to do is add the link in Google Classroom and Make a Copy for each student. On the teachers Jamboard, each student shows up as a separate Jam. Teachers can pop-in and check the students' work as they are doing it. If you would like me to record this, I would be willing to do that, but I wasn't sure if it would be too long.  On The Blogs Matt: 30+ education sketchnotes for inspiration, ideas (featuring sketchnotes by Jen Giffen from episode 10) FREE Ditch That Textbook Digital Summit (December 21-January 8): DitchSummit.com Kasey: The Top 20 Posts of 2019 #PottyPD: How to Make the Most of a Captive Audience (FREE TEMPLATE) – SULS043

Pero debemos tomárnoslo en serio. Sin prisa pero sin pausa. Este curso has de dar un paso adelante en esa necesaria transformación que debemos afrontar y que hagas algo, que pruebes algo que todavía no hayas hecho. Siempre con los alumnos en la mente, claro. Algo que esté basado en su realidad, que les haga protagonistas y que produzca en ellos un aprendizaje duradero y para la vida. Y para que esto se produzca hay varios aspectos importantes que debemos tener en cuenta: Las ideas. Es importante, pero no es lo único.Relaciones. Cuando aprendemos juntos, aprendemos mejor.Emociones. Conecta los conocimientos emocionalmente. sin emoción, no hay aprendizaje.Dejar que los alumnos hagan, dejar que se equivoquen, investiguen, corran riesgos… Se aprende haciendo.Más ideas:Ten en cuenta los intereses de los alumnos. Colabora con tus compañeros, abre las puertas de tu aula. El proyecto educativo de un centro siempre va a tener mucha más repercusión en nuestros alumnos cuando se construye en conjunto. Todos a una. Involucra a las familias, ábreles también las puertas a ellos. Mantenlos informados de todo lo que se está haciendo y lo que están aprendiendo sus hijos. Escuela y familia debe estar lo más unida posible. Si hablamos de que el aprendizaje tiene que ser real, un aprendizaje para la vida y un aprendizaje globalizado, en el que no hay compartimentación en materias, la escuela y la familia debemos ser uno también, para darle mucho más sentido a lo que estamos haciendo dentro de nuestros centros.No introduzcas esa metodología que ahora está tan de moda y que suena fenomenal, solo porque es ahora trending Topic. Búscale el sentido, tu sentido, el de tus alumnos. Piensa en ellos primero, que sean partícipes y no solo eso, sino que protagonistas. Nunca pierdas la curiosidad, la inquietud. Debemos ser inquietos, no acomodarnos en lo que sabemos y quedarnos aislados. La curiosidad, según la neurociencia, pone al cerebro en modo aprendizaje. Es esencial para la apertura y la flexibilidad mentalCuriosidad: aspecto emocional de los seres vivos, que engendra la exploración, investigación y el aprendizaje. Sea cual sea la metodología que uses hazte una pregunta. estoy incluyendo a todos mis alumnos? Si no es así, cuando dejamos alumnos atrás, cuando no hay inclusión, no es educación.Emociónate, disfruta y transmite tu pasión a los alumnos.

Involucra a las familias, ábreles también las puertas a ellos. Mantenlos informados de todo lo que se está haciendo y lo que están aprendiendo sus hijos. Escuela y familia debe estar lo más unida posible. Si hablamos de que el aprendizaje tiene que ser real, un aprendizaje para la vida y un aprendizaje globalizado, en el que no hay compartimentación en materias, la escuela y la familia debemos ser uno también, para darle mucho más sentido a lo que estamos haciendo dentro de nuestros centros.No introduzcas esa metodología que ahora está tan de moda y que suena fenomenal, solo porque es ahora trending Topic. Búscale el sentido, tu sentido, el de tus alumnos. Piensa en ellos primero, que sean partícipes y no solo eso, sino que protagonistas. Nunca pierdas la curiosidad, la inquietud. Debemos ser inquietos, no acomodarnos en lo que sabemos y quedarnos aislados. La curiosidad, según la neurociencia, pone al cerebro en modo aprendizaje. Es esencial para la apertura y la flexibilidad mentalCuriosidad: aspecto emocional de los seres vivos, que engendra la exploración, investigación y el aprendizaje. Sea cual sea la metodología que uses hazte una pregunta. estoy incluyendo a todos mis alumnos? Si no es así, cuando dejamos alumnos atrás, cuando no hay inclusión, no es educación.Emociónate, disfruta y transmite tu pasión a los alumnos.

In this episode of Logics Academy, Mike speaks with Jen Giffen about her work at YRDSB, and her thoughts on stepping out of your comfort zone to learn programming. Notes: There are a lot of great events you will see Logics Academy at coming up. Connect is happening in Niagara Falls April 30th through May 2nd. We will have booth presentations, a playground to experience all our great devices and a chance to sign up for our new educator community. If you’re heading to Niagara Falls for Connect, please be sure to drop by and say hi! In May we will also be at the SK IT Summit in Saskatoon May 5th through 8th and I will be at Riding the Wave in Gimli Manitoba May 9th and 10th. Be sure to drop by our booth in Saskatoon, or come say hi to me in Gimli, we are really excited about both of these events. We have a BUNCH of new products about to launch through our partner Makeblock. We’re really excited about Halocode. Halocode is a wireless single board computer with built-in Wi-Fi support and microphone for student IoT and speech recognition projects. It has 12 x Programmable RGB LED lights, a Motion Sensor, 4 Touch Sensors and Micro USB Connector and can be programmed using mBlock 5 software based on Scratch 3.0. It’s $41.99 and going to be available in class packs for a discount. We know you’re going to love this. We’ll have some out for you to take a look at if you swing by our booth at any show we’re at going forward. Be sure to ask for it, I think you’ll be wow’d! We have a couple of pretty amazing promo’s happening right now. When you buy an mBot classroom pack you’ll get three free mBot addon packs - that’s 135 dollars worth of stuff giving you 10 possible alternative configurations for mBot. Pretty slick. ALSO, when you buy a Codey Rocky classroom pack you get a free Neuron Inventor kit. Neuron is a standalone product but also works with Codey Rocky to increase its functionality by quite a bit. The inventor kit is worth 165 dollars so this is a pretty amazing deal. You have until April 30th to take advantage of these two offers Ozo-Tales: Recounting Indigenous Legends Through Coding: https://bibliothequemazo.com/2017/03/26/ozo-tales-recounting-indigenous-legends-through-coding/ Jen Giffen on Twitter: https://twitter.com/virtualgiff Jen Giffen's Blog: http://virtualgiff.blogspot.com/

  When I started this podcast a year ago I had little idea about the what, the how, or even my why in chasing conversations. I quickly cobbled together a list of questions that I thought an EDU podcaster would ask. And even as I struggled through my first episode with Jen Giffen @virtualgiff I realized that I would have to be more open. Open in my question frame, open in my mindset, and open to where the story takes me. As soon as I released a little grip on the wheel, the stories emerged and took over. In this episode I go where a story pulled me. The horrific events of February 14th, 2018 that occurred at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland Florida electrified me. I found my social and news feeds overflowing with content that enraged and confused me. And even though I wanted to talk with someone closer to the context I waited. I researched. I measured. I reflected and then I reached out to Brad Sheffler an educator and podcaster based out of Orlando. This episode focusses in on how to talk about guns and schools. And honestly, I had no idea about how to do this. My questions felt awkard, my sense of clarity was fuzzy, and throughout the entire conversation I struggled with measuring my respect for the topic. Yet, I also wondered if this is what it feels like to unbox a truely pivotal topic. I am incredibly grateful to Brad for his honest and open support of my learning. Brad can be found @BradShreffler on Twitter. He also is the host of the Planning Period Podcast Chasing Squirrels is on iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/chasing-squirrels/id1191208370?mt=2 You can find me on Twitter @chrisjcluff and on Wordpress at https://chrisjcluff.com/ If you would like to chat on the podcast, let me know.
