Educational Podcast

The first podcast I watched was The edible Schoolyard. This video was amazing to me. Its such a different way to teach and for kids to learn. The kids in the video seem to be generally happy with the environment around them and the learning that they get to do. They are learning by doing which I think is one of the best ways to learn. The next podcast I watched was A Night in the Global Village, this podcast is just as amazing as the first. It is all about children being taken out of their comfort zone to learn and walk in someone else shoes. Its a great way to teach children about different culture because they will get to experience new things.

Both of these podcast could be used in the classroom in multiple different ways. Its first shows teachers maybe a new and different way to teach on a smaller scale then these schools. Maybe allow their students to have a small garden or allow their student experience life in another country. Teachers could even learn that maybe students need to be more hands on and not so direct focus.

As far as students are concerned when it comes to something like this, it will show them new and different experiences. It will show that other kids are doing things that are interesting yet educational. The idea behind these two schools and the video produce are just amazing and if more schools could incorporate some of these learning styles students would be so much more well rounded. These podcast should be shown to every kid and every teacher. They are great learning tools.
