TED talks are engaging and exciting to watch, my husband and I watch them through Netflix regularly. Listening to the podcasts is equally as interesting. The scope of topics is vast, and the people who present the material are so excited about it, the energy is infectious. Some people discuss their own stories in education, others give a new way of teaching, and still others talk about how education has changed and will continue to change. With so many different topics to hear about, you can always find something that interests you.
I have listened to NPR for years on the radio, and this section of NPR focuses strictly on issues in education in our country and around the world. The stories vary dramatically from one to the next. I listened to one on the importance of whole milk in the diet of young children, as well as one about how universities are falling behind in helping educate and support people with mental illness. The range is interesting and always current.
This podcast and website has so many resources for teachers and gives great advice on how to implement them into the classroom. The site offers printables that go along with some of the lessons described on the podcasts. The material on the podcasts is delivered by educators and professors, making it valuable and realistic. The strategies are also standards based and strive to follow common core, as well has help understand it! I listened to a few podcasts on vocabulary, comprehension, and differentiation strategies.
