Tech How To: Podcasts | Scholastic.com
very week, Paul Bogush’s eighth-grade social studies students in Wallingford, Connecticut, get an opportunity that would be rare in a tech-free classroom. The kids take 20 minutes during lunch to interview career mentors—such as the dean of the Yale University School of Nursing—on the phone, in person, or over Skype. Then they share the interviews with the world in a podcast called Lunchtime Leaders.
The series began last year when the town’s mayoral election was in full swing. Working in two groups of four, the students interviewed the sitting mayor and his two opponents in three separate broadcasts. They went on to interview other prominent Connecticut citizens, and then began to cover different topics, interviewing various experts worldwide, from Australia to South Africa to Sterling, Kansas.
Teachers are using podcasts to connect their students to listeners local and long-distance to give projects a real-world context and audience, and to boost technological skills and independence. The best part? Creating and publishing podcasts is a relative cinch. We asked teachers whose students are expert podcasters to share their experiences and offer tips for getting going.

In my view, narrators are afraid to take advantage of a dramatic pause. Anyone who has worked in media (particularly radio) will tell you that they constantly worry about ‘dead air’ – silence. Perhaps counter-intuitively, a stop or pause in a narrative actually motivates your listeners to (unconsciously) anticipate the next word – after all it must be important if you’ve paused – rather than causing the listener to ’switch off.’ Used correctly and in concert with the other ‘P’s,’ pauses or caesuras will direct listeners’ attention as you choose, creating the appropriate amount of expectation or to emphasize the key points and messages that you want to convey.
