Blogger Reflection

This week on MeredithAkers.com Meredith is sharing about her favorite educational podcasts. I do not currently listen to any educational podcasts so I was excited to learn about her recommendations. I have enjoyed starting a blog this year for class and reading Meredith's and my classmates posts each week so I think adding a podcast into the mix will be a fun addition! Meredith says she listens to podcasts when she needs to feel inspired or motivated and with spring break right around the corner and may days of indoor recess recently- I think teachers can use all the inspiration we can get these days! Meredith provided an interactive link to many of her favorite episodes.
 She gave great advice when saying podcasts can be used for school leaders to share with their team or staff, use it to personalize professional development. I love her idea of "Podcasts and Pedometers". Her school used this as a PD opportunity where the staff arrived 30 minutes early or stayed 30 minutes late, walked around the building or jogged outside while listening to the podcast selected and filled out a reflection and idea for application in the classroom. What a great way to promote professional development and taking care of yourself! I love this idea and am hoping to share it with my own admin team. Thanks for sharing Meredith!
