Our home is very techy. Laptops, desktops, tablets, kindles, game systems, and let's not forget our phones. While we value time off of the screens, we know that using technology in the kids' education is essential, especially in the 7th and 4th grades. The future is full of technology.
I love finding new ways to incorporate tech into our lessons and teaching them about different aspects and usefulness of technology and apps. We listen to a podcast each morning during our "morning meeting," and sometimes at other times throughout the day. We use Google Podcasts because we have Android devices. However, you can choose which platform you prefer. Most podcasts are on all of the major outlets.
Here are 10 podcasts I have found that are wonderful for homeschool families.
- KidNuz is a weekday news show that discusses interesting news from around the world. It is always good stuff with an upbeat dialog. There is even a quiz at the end.
- Creation Answers is no longer updated, but there are some wonderful episodes.
- The Middle School Mind is a podcast from a young teen with his dad discussing the things that middle schoolers face. It is also no longer published but has great episodes.
- Brains on Universe. These are a group of podcasts for kids with very interesting topics.
- Storynory has free audio stories for kids
- Tumble Science Podcast
- BunnAmigos is a great podcast on culture
- Book Club For Kids
- God's Big Story
- Real Cool History For Kids
