The learning goal is for students to utilize the application Spotify For Podcasters to create a
podcast that explains the different phases of the water cycle
Description of Software: Spotify for Podcasters is an app that allows you to create your own podcast
to publish on different platforms.
How do you plan to implement this lesson and integrate the technology? Check all that apply:
☐ Teacher-led: There is no student voice and choice in the activities. Students are guided by the
teacher's direction and expectations. Learning activities are assigned to the student and mostly
practice based.
X Student-Led: Students are given voice and choice in the activities. They may select the topic of
learning and/or determine the tool they will use to meet the learning goal. The teacher facilitates
the learning as the students direct their own learning processes.
☒ Problem-based and/or Publishable: Students are solving problems and completing projects to
demonstrate their learning. Additionally, the projects can be shared outside of the classroom.
(Note: This objective could be reached by displaying the project on the school’s morning
newscast, posting the project to the classroom blog, presenting it to another class, or publishing
it via an outside source.)

Multimedia: Audio or Video Lesson Idea
For this lesson, the teacher will introduce students to the phases of the water cycle. Then the
teacher will review the application Spotify for podcasters with the students.
The students will be asked to create a podcast teaching their peers about the different phases of the
water cycle. After creating the podcast, the students will upload their podcasts onto Padlet for the
rest of the class to look at.
The Teacher will provide feedback to students during the process to help asst them in creating the
podcasts.
Managing student learning:
Allowing students to take turns outside recording their podcast outside the classroom could eliminate
background noises from each group
Reflection: I look forward to implementing the podcast for students. This lesson will teach students
how to use a new software to learn and teach others.
