Selected Instructional Software Tool: Podcast/Audio Recording Tool (Spotify for Podcasters)
Description of Software: Spotify for Podcasters allows the creator the ability to upload or record
their content, publish video podcasts to Spotify, and add interactive features by recording their voice
over an audio file.
How do you plan to implement this lesson and integrate the technology? Check all that apply:
☐ Teacher-led: There is no student voice and choice in the activities. Students are guided by the
teacher's direction and expectations. Learning activities are assigned to the student and mostly
practice based.
☒ Student-Led: Students are given voice and choice in the activities. They may select the topic of
learning and/or determine the tool they will use to meet the learning goal. The teacher facilitates
the learning as the students direct their own learning processes.
☒ Problem-based and/or Publishable: Students are solving problems and completing projects to
demonstrate their learning. Additionally, the projects can be shared outside of the classroom.
(Note: This objective could be reached by displaying the project on the school’s morning
newscast, posting the project to the classroom blog, presenting it to another class, or publishing
it via an outside source.)

Multimedia: Audio or Video Lesson Idea
Managing student learning:
The audio recording/podcasting tool that will be used within this lesson will cause a shift in the behavior of
students where they move from passive to active social learners in many ways. This is because the students
will be not only researching and learning about a historical figure that made an impact on American history
but will also be collaborating with another student, interviewing a historical figure (played by another
student), asking them questions that promote critical thinking and active learning by thinking about how the
historical figure would answer and react to each question the interviewing/host student of the podcast will
make. I will also allow for time-on-task by having the students create a script for the podcast (that will need to
include the historical figure’s biggest contribution to American History and three facts about the historical
figure) that they will show me before recording the podcast, in order to make sure they have the correct
information and components to achieve the learning objective and standard before making the podcast.
Reflection:

Multimedia: Audio or Video Lesson Idea
After designing the lesson idea, I think that the activities will impact student learning by allowing
them to have choices and options in the research about what they will want to interview their
historical figure of their choosing about, while still following the criteria and instructions that will
allow them to pass the learning objective and standard in a fun and engaging way. It will also impact
student learning by letting them host their own podcast using an audio recording tool that will
promote engagement and universal design for learning by letting the students express their learning
in different ways (both writing the script and recording the podcast by collaborating with another
student). I think that the part of the lesson that I look forward to implementing with students the
most would be the part where the students get to present their podcasts and explain why they
chose that historical figure, allowing other students to ask questions about the historical figure after
presenting, as this will allow other students to learn more about another historical figure, while also
letting the students that are presenting get feedback from other students as well.
