Podcasting Helped My Students Realize History Is a Conversation and Not a Story

As teachers, we are always looking for ways to help our students engage more intimately with the material they learn. One simple way to improve the dynamics within our classroom, and between our students, is to help them understand how conversations ultimately drive the work of historians. Emphasizing the conversational nature of historical interpretation will stimulate your classroom environment. One way to bring more historical conversations into your classroom and therefore improve student conversations? Podcasts!

About Michael
I have taught World History in Central Pennsylvania for over a decade to students across all ability levels. I am committed to the belief that World History has the power to help students develop a more complex understanding of humankind and can transform the way people are able to empathize with others across the globe.
