The next time you're commuting to or from work, doing the dishes or out for a run, why not bring a little edtech inspiration into your life?

That was the thought behind Todd Sepulveda’s question on the ISTE Commons, a professional learning network for educators. Sepulveda, a curriculum management systems coordinator in Houston, Texas, says, “You can learn so much from podcasts, more than other methods at times ... I recommend anyone who is not utilizing podcasts to grow professionally to try it. It is so much easier than even 2-3 years ago.”

The ISTE community responded and below are a list of suggestions from the discussion.

The Chromebook Classroom. Author John R. Sowash hosts this podcast, which includes guests on subjects ranging from using Chromebooks in makerspaces to starting a student-run Chromebook repair program.

The Cult of Pedagogy Podcast. Sepulveda recommends this one because, “Jessica Gonzalez, who hosts the podcast, is easy to listen to. It’s almost like a friend sharing some information with you ... Hearing stories and interviews with other educators doing awesome things in their classrooms and their campuses compels you to want to better and innovate.”

Ten Minute Teacher. Vicki Davis’ popular CoolCat Teacher blog also has a podcast. “I love The Ten Minute Teacher because Vicki Davis always has great guests and/or tips,” says Frank Ferrara Lombard, an Illinois teacher. “After listening to her podcast, I get inspired to try new things or tweek others. Her mantra is ‘Innovate like a turtle.’ So, I don’t feel bad jumping in and slowly trying one of the tips or tools she introduces and see where it goes or I may stick with one that’s working well for me and my students; either way its ok to ‘innovate like a turtle.’
