Five Tips For Teaching A Podcast

Five Tips For Teaching A Podcast TeacherVision Advisory Board Member, Sara, shares her tips for how to teach podcasts in the classroom. We also include some of our favorite tools and apps. Podcasts are becoming increasingly popular in the classroom. They provide an alternative to the whole class novel, and they support students to develop listening skills. There are some incredible curriculum tools to bring podcasts into the classroom. We recommend, Listenwise, an online library of podcasts and news stories that students can listen to. They also have a well-developed curriculum with quizzes and comprehension exercises. Here are five tips for how to effectively use and teach podcasts in your classroom. Find a podcast that is appropriate for student audiences Many simple Google searches can lead you to an engaging and appropriate podcast for your students based on their maturity levels and capabilities. For example, the “Serial” Podcast, Season 1, is perfect as a 3-4 week unit for students at the end of the school year as it intentionally describes a scenario for students that they have either experienced, could experience in their lifetime, or know of someone who has experienced what happened to one of the main focal people within the podcast. Student interest level should be the main priority for you as a curriculum/content enhancer while tying that interest to state/local district standards at the forefront of your planning. Intentionally plan for all-student success Within your selected podcast, treat each episode as a learning opportunity for all students. Align state/local district standards to the selected podcast and work backwards to determine what students should be able to know and do by the end of the learning session(s) and how will they illustrate their proficiency/knowledge (think formative/summative assessment!). Remember: we want all of our students to grow throughout this experience, so finding engaging activities for students to experience throughout each learning session is key. Don’t be overwhelmed in having to teach “every episode” If you are intentionally planning (see tip #2), you should have little difficulty with picking and choosing the most action-packed or important aspects of each episode within the podcast. Pre-work for teachers should include listening to the episodes that you will be teaching throughout the week and selecting time frames where you want to spend the majority of instruction. If there are places within each episode that are unnecessary to the understanding of the message / ideas, cut them out! Plan where you want to start and stop each episode to positively impact instruction and student learning. Review, Review, and Review some more! After each episode and before you begin a subsequent one, review content with your students and have a running document of important events, details, quotes, and conflicts/issues that are illustrated throughout each episode. This running document can be used as a modification to classroom instruction for struggling students or for absent students who may miss an episode. This document can be shared via Google Classroom and updated as each episode comes to a close and is a great way for students to add their own spin to illustrating important details and order of events… allow them to add to this document! Show them the importance of taking ownership of what they know and how they show what they know throughout this process. Creatively Assess Student Knowledge through Differentiated Assessments It is crucial to pre-plan any episode quiz, formative assessment, or unit (summative) assessment before the actual teaching of the podcast occurs. This will help you as a professional educator to instruct students on what they need to know and how they need to illustrate their knowledge. For example, for each episode, break up the types of formative assessments you craft for your students: journal entries, Quizizz/Kahoot games, “word bank” summaries, 10-word summaries, Image Illustrations - these are all great ways to assess student knowledge and will not bog students down with the same type of assessments. Create a summative assessment that may include topical/thematically-aligned research, “text”-dependent analysis questions, short-answer prompts, or constructed response essays.

Adjusting to life abroad and how I knew Hult was right for me

For the majority of Hult students, coming to campus means immersing yourself in a new city, and often a new country and culture. For our Bachelor of Business Administration students, heading to Hult also means rising to the new challenge of undergraduate-level courses.  No question about it, its exciting but its a big adjustment. Fortunately, the friends youll meet and resilience youll develop in these early days will serve you well, even long after your studies. We spoke to current students in the U.K. and U.S. to find out what the transition was like and what advice they have for the incoming Class of 2019. Adjusting to student life at Hult in the U.K. Murtaza Husainy Nationality: Indian Campus: London Graduating Class: 2020 Languages spoken:  English, Hindi, Urdu, Gujarati Clubs societies:  Model United Nations, International Law Society, Society of Banking,  Hult Applied Philosophy Club,  Global Ambassador How did you know that Hult was right for you? One of the most important things that made my decision about Hult was the fact that it is a small business school. I knew that meant I’ll have more interaction with professors and also good networking opportunities with students around me. What did you miss most about your home city or country after moving? The one thing I missed about Dubai after coming to London was the weather. Coming from a city where the lowest temperature in winter is just 18 degrees Celsius, this was something that took a long time to adjust to. Did you experience any culture shock or surprises on campus? Although I studied in an international school, one of the biggest cultural shocks I had was students addressing professors by their first name. This was quite unusual to me as I had been used to addressing teachers as either Professor or Sir/Maam. But this just made me realize the family culture we have at Hult. What’s the biggest lesson youve learned studying with classmates from all over the world? The biggest lesson I have learned is that there is a lot outside of the place you come from—you just need to find the right opportunity and explore it. Selfie with new friends on campus Any advice for the incoming Class of 2019? As important as it is to work hard to gain the most out of these years, it is also important to enjoy your days, make good friends, and just develop your personality by discovering new things! The best part of being a Hult student is that youre not a part of a university—you are a part of a family, with friends from every part of the world. Caroline Voigt Nationality: German Campus: London Graduating Class: 2018 Languages spoken:  English, German Clubs societies:  Model United Nations, Hult Management Consulting Club, Global Ambassador, Faculty Fellow How did you know that Hult was right for you? It actually never occurred to me to study abroad until quite late into the summer of 2015. After Hult contacted me, I was immediately struck by its locations in cosmopolitan cities like London, while offering relevant studies in a small, familiar campus. Additionally Hults diversity, not only in the student body but also among professors and staff, amazed me. The combination of Hult’s global network together with the diversity the school really made my decision to come to Hult quite easy. What did you miss most about your home city or country after moving? My friends and family for sure—but luckily, there’s Ryanair and WhatsApp Group Chats. Whats it like having a roommate? I met my best friend Bongi because we were assigned to be roommates during our first year. We actually still live together today, almost three years later! I was really nervous about this â€Å"make or break† moment of meeting my college roommate, but looking back I can say that being assigned a roommate was definitely the best thing that happened to me all throughout my time at Hult. With Bongi at Winter Ball What’s the best part about being a Hult student? Having friends from all around the globe, and therefore always having a lovely incentive to explore the world. Any advice for the incoming Class of 2019? Always keep an open mind. This applies to everything from trying something new on the Brick Lane Food Market to always having a positive take-away from group work: If you keep an open mind, you will wander through life much easier. â€Å"It feels really personal here—wherever you go there is someone you know, and nobody is too stuck up or shy to talk to you. Everyone is really friendly.†Ã‚   Adjusting to student life at Hult in the U.S. Tumelo Seemule Nationality:  Motswana Campus: San Francisco Graduating Class: 2021 Languages spoken: English,  Setswana, Kalanga, Zulu, Xhosa Clubs societies:  Fashion Club, Prism, African Legacy Society, and Management Club,  Global Ambassador How did you know that Hult was right for you? The campus has a very futuristic, sophisticated, and clean feel to it. Also, the diversity of the international students is vast and I wanted to be able to learn from my peers. What did you miss most about your home city or country after moving? Apart from my family, I missed my cultural food. Whats it like having a roommate? I was kind of nervous because I went to boarding school, and I had gotten my fair share of bad roommates. But my roommate at Hult is probably my best one. We instantly clicked from the start and have grown stronger since then. We obviously have had our ups and downs, but through communication, we got through it. What’s the biggest lesson youve learned studying with classmates from all over the world? I have learned that the world is bigger than you think it is. It is bigger than ones thought patterns, family, country, and continent. That means that there is so much more to learn from each other. I can proudly say that Hult is a melting pot of cultures and people driven to make a difference. With the Hult Global Ambassadors in San Francisco What’s the best part about being a Hult student? The best part is that you are part of a diverse community and people here are open-minded and supportive. Even though we are from different corners of the world, we are one united school. Any advice for the incoming Class of 2019? Do not be afraid to be yourself once you get here. College is about discovering who you are and what your aspirations are in life, so do not be afraid to try new things and explore the city as much as you can. Do not be afraid to be yourself once you get here. Do not be afraid to try new things and explore as much as you can. Emily Nguyen Nationality: Vietnamese Campus: San Francisco Graduating Class: 2019 Languages spoken: English,  Vietnamese Clubs societies:  Hult Finance Club,  Global Ambassador How did you know that Hult was right for you? I’ve always wanted to go to a mid-sized school, where I can easily interact with friends and faculty. Hult also has a unique value that differentiates itself from other schools: I found its diversity fascinating, and I wanted to take the opportunity to experience it for myself. What did you miss most about your home city or country after moving? I miss the food, the culture, my family, and friends. However, I found many more friends at school that diverted me from homesickness. Did you experience any culture shock or surprises on campus? I did, especially when it comes to punctuality. I had many projects with friends from all over the world. Some showed up on time and some didn’t. In their culture, they have different standards for timekeeping. We had a disagreement, however, we resolved it smoothly and everyone was happy with the solution. We all agreed that if someone is late by more than 10 minutes, that person will receive extra responsibility and also take the group out for dinner! Turns out, nobody was late after we set that rule. Ready for Accepted Students Weekend in San Francisco Any advice for the incoming Class of 2019? Enjoy the city. San Francisco is a great place to start your adventure.

The Battles of the French and Indian War

The battles of the French and Indian War, also known as the Seven Years War,  were fought around the globe making the conflict the first truly global war. While fighting began in North America, it soon spread and consumed Europe and colonies as far-flung as India and the Philippines. In the process, names such as Fort Duquesne, Rossbach, Leuthen, Quebec, and Minden joined the annals of military history. While armies sought supremacy on land, the combatants fleets met in notable encounters such as Lagos and Quiberon Bay. By the time the fighting ended, Britain had gained an empire in North America and India, while Prussia, though battered, had established itself as a power in Europe.

How Existentialism and Psychoanalysis Influenced Frankl

Before an in-depth look at how existentialism and psychoanalysis influenced Frankl, let take a look at what each of these theories mean. Existentialism became identified with a cultural movement that blossomed in Europe during the forties and fifties; this term adopted by Jean-Paul Sartre as a self-description in Sartre and his associates postwar literary and philosophical writings. â€Å"By the mid 1970s the cultural image of existentialism had become a clichà ©, parodized in countless books and films by Woody Allen.† (123 Help me) According one website I researched, all about philosophy states the definition of Existentialism is: â€Å"Existentialism is a 20th century philosophy concerned with human existence, finding self, and the meaning of†¦show more content†¦Applying a broad definition of sexuality, he called these periods’ psychosexual stages. During each stage, the pleasure-seeking impulses of the id focus on, and derive pleasure from, a particular area of the body and in activities connected with that area†. (123 helpme) Freud’s theories parallels with what I was taught in young child development class that during the first five years, the groundwork for the child’s personality, morals and values had been laid and practically sealed.† o Psychoanalytic therapy normally has two stages: 1.the release of repression, thereby allowing the conflict to enter consciousness, and, 2.the redirection of the emotional energy (libido) associated with the repression thereby allowing the patients ego to gain control of the conflict. With the fore mention examples of existentialism and psychoanalysis, a relevant connection can be made in how Frankl’s views could have been influenced. As Frankl’s states on page 162: Optimism like happiness cannot ordered or forced it must be ensue, A human being is not one in pursuit of happiness but rater in search for a reason to be happy. Existential and psychoanalysis both seem to build off a person’s inner self, their core individuality and decides from there what they will or won’t endure for themselves or for others be it family, love ones and or friends.

A key concept of existential therapy is the relationship between freedom and responsibility. In contrast to the determinist view of psychoanalytic therapy, existentialism states that individual is always free â€Å"to choose one’s way† (Frankl, 1963, p. 104). From the multitude of potential responses that could occur in reaction to stimuli, it is the individual alone who chooses what action to take (May, 1975, p. 100).

Sex in the Media Essay - 3039 Words

Sex in the Media One of the most important resources of a business is its advertisement team. Due to the fact that people can and will buy your product only if they know about it.

There is an RB artist by the name of ?Tank? it is obvious that he cares about his appearance because of his well chilled physique, but he has one commercial where he is working out; doing sets of bench-presses, push-up, pull-ups and so forth. What bothers me about the commercial is that you don?t hear any of his music and just watch him work out. From my understanding what the consumer is buying is his music and not his body. I know that sex sells but it seems to me that advertisers no longer want to do any work, just slap an attractive body on screen or paper and call it a day.

The World Of 1984 Scared Me - 1442 Words

Total surveillance. Complete obedience. Absolute authority. The world of 1984 scared me when I first read the book last year. Never before had a book made me think so deeply about individuality, society, and government. 1984, a manifestation of my nightmares, described a totalitarian police state of resolute submission. The horror came when I looked upon our own society, and Big Brother glared back at me. We live in a world where every phone call, every text, every search, and every email can be monitored and recorded by our own government. The National Security Agency, or the NSA, was originally proposed to monitor threats outside of the United States, but the NSA began domestic surveillance shortly after the horrific terror attacks of 2001. This cleared the way for warrantless, unlawful tracking of American citizens. Initially, the program collected only the data of high-risk individuals in America with direct links to Al-Qaeda. Now, however, government data collection has spread t o millions of otherwise innocent citizens. Government surveillance is a direct violation of the privacy of American citizens that is dangerous, immoral, and unlawful. It is important to realize the dangers of government surveillance; personal information containing sensitive details about an individual s private life put in the wrong hands or otherwise used incorrectly could potentially have disastrous repercussions.
