Have older students create choose your own adventure books to discuss events in history. For example, when learning about Civil Rights, have students share options for what might happen if Martin Luther King hadn't been assassinated. Use these stories as a basis for student podcasts about moments in history and how different events shaped and changed history.

This recording of an OK2Ask online professional learning session from July 2018, opens in Adobe Connect. If you are looking for an easy way to increase engagement in the classroom, look no further. Podcasting - creating audio recordings to deliver via the Internet - can be used by teachers to deliver instructional information and by students to demonstrate what they have learned. Join us to learn how to connect your classroom to the world beyond your walls. Encourage students to improve their digital and communication skills in all content areas. Understand how you can plan, produce and publish podcasts for free to support your classroom goals. Participants will: 1. Learn ways to use podcasting in the classroom; 2. Explore podcasting tools; and 3. Plan for the use of podcasting in the classroom. This session is appropriate for teachers at all technology levels.
