Introducing The EdTech Take Out
The EdTech Take Out is hosted by Jonathan Wylie and Mindy Cairney, but special guests will appear from time to time to add their voice and expertise. The podcast will feature a wide range of topics related to the use of technology in K-12 classrooms and can be accessed on demand.
Why a Podcast? Why Now?
At Grant Wood, the Digital Learning team are always looking at future trends and how they might impact teaching and learning in the classroom. This particular medium looks to have a lot of potential for new ways to disseminate, and demonstrate, learning.
With this in mind, we are looking at using The EdTech Take Out as a way to augment our team's existing professional development model. In light of the increasing demands on a teacher's schedule, many of our workshops and courses have already moved to a hybrid format with a mix of online and face-to-face participation. The podcast is a way we can take that one step further and deliver PD in a package that can be accessed anywhere, and at any time.
Another way we are exploring podcasts is as a way to model their impact for teachers and students as part of a learning environment. In future episodes we will explore the potential of podcasts in the classroom and how they can be used by both students and teachers as a way to show they can collaborate, create and communicate.
