About the innovation

Coffee Time with Technology

Coffee Time with Technology is my new initiative all about sharing latest developments in the field of education and education technology with everyone. Its easy to record, save and upload. Easily accessible on the Podbean app and can be listened to anywhere anytime on the go. The purpose is to keep educators updated and share new ideas that can be easily implemented in classrooms/ schools. It takes time reading an article or skimming through a blog, but we could always listen to the podcast while exercising, driving, cooking etc

Second, both students and teachers could initiate such simple initiatives in their own classrooms/schools , there are no expensive resources required, no advanced technical skills needed as such. Its the motivation and willingness to try out new things. Students can start their own podcast shows about topics that interest them, they could share revision summaries in the form of weekly podcasts, or share interviews with their peers about their daily learning, or host a show about news educational apps, a show about science experiments, share favorite book reviews, share favorite stories etc Its like empowering the kids , enhancing their skills ,making them more confident, independent and responsible.

Same goes for teachers in schools, they could see this as a professional development opportunity for themselves and their peers. Teachers could record and share their most successful lesson plans in the form of podcasts, share a review of new teaching and learning resources, share success stories of school with parents, share updates of the upcoming events with parents and the list is endless.

Implementation steps

Identify the purpose and define objectives

Take notes of your meetings with both students and colleagues. You could use a Google doc for sharing ideas. Be clear with objectives. Consider why? what? how? for who? where? Set targets and timelines.

Check for resources in school

Make a list of resources Audacity, Speakers, Headphones, Internet etc Ensure they are installed , properly working. Check whether people in your team know how to use it, otherwise make a training plan to guide people working with you on this. You could share tutorials with your team members.

Write down the script

Keep your scripts save in a Google doc. Its easy to share, update any time. Keep a white board, or a notice board where key words could be shared about the topic during the meetings. You could always share the topic before and ask for ideas. Share mindmaps (use bubbl.us or popplet).

Create Account on Podbean

While making an account consider using a free account in the beginning and experimenting with it. In case it works, consider upgrading and moving to a paid account with more features. Make a team that works with you. Assign responsibilities to each member. You can choose to work with either peer colleagues or students.

Record, Upload and Share

Share on different social forums. Also discuss guidelines on how to share on social networks. Take permissions and approvals from all concerned if needed. Ask for feedback from colleagues, students, parents and make changes in the light of the feedback.
