Product Information

Field reports. If you are attending an event, conference or trip why not create a field report based around what you are doing and learning for students to listen to.

Can be useful for accessibility. Podcasts could be an alternative for those who may find written resources difficult, such as students with Dyslexia. So much powered into one book and covering all the hot topics using the best evidence from classrooms and the research literature. Beautifully illustrated, great examples, and provocations aplenty.” Every year, a multitude of books are published on the subject of teaching and learning, but only a few are designed to be used by educators in the classroom.Headteacher and author Bruce Robertson has teamed up with Finola Wilson of Impact Wales to publish a new handbook that aims to transform teaching practice. Now that you have your equipment you’ll need to use some software to record your podcast. Different programs have different levels of complexity depending on how simple or complex you wish to make your podcast. Here are some suggestions: You will need somewhere to record, preferably somewhere fairly quiet, so a busy cafe or the side of a road would be a bad idea, however you don’t need utter silence so any office or quietish area will work well.

Could be used as an alternative to presenting. This can aid inclusion particularly for students who may feel anxious or uncomfortable about speaking publicly in front of others but who could be more than happy to record a podcast that others could listen to instead. The handbook starts with a crash course in the science of learning for teachers and goes on to explore 12 elements of learning, covering everything from learning intentions to assessment and behaviour. If you are a teacher or school leader looking for a one-stop professional development resource focused on teaching practice, Power Up Your Pedagogy: The Illustrated Handbook of Teaching is the perfect book for you. Covering a broad range of themes, from professional learning and coaching to cognitive science and educational research, this book is comprehensive in its scope. A podcast is an episodic series of audio recordings usually organised around a subject or theme, falling somewhere between a radio show and a blog. As a medium podcasts are immensely popular among young adults (15-24) with one in five now listening to podcasts regularly at least once a week. If you haven’t listened to a podcast before, you might like to try Impacted– a podcast created by the University of Sussex looking at the impact that research can have on the world or TEL: US– The Technology Enhanced Learning team’s own podcast. Power Up Your Pedagogy is a truly superb book. The 12 elements are brilliantly chosen – every teacher will recognise them as core aspects of their craft. And to my mind, the Crash Course in Learning could stand alone as one of best, punchiest, best-illustrated round-ups of our current understanding of learning that you’ll find anywhere.”

Flipped learning materials. Create a podcast as a supplemental resource that can be listened to before a lecture or seminar. Interviews. Get together with other academics or prominent leaders in your field to record a podcast for your students. The format of podcasts along with their ease of use, low barrier to entry and the ability to share freely with others means they can be a great teaching tool. You can create your own podcasts for your students to listen to as well as getting students to create their own podcasts as learning artifacts. Publisher's note: Power Up Your Pedagogy: The Illustrated Handbook of Teaching is effectively an expanded, visual version of The Teaching Delusion 3: Power Up Your Pedagogy.
