Podcast for Science Teachers
The Exploratorium is one of the best science museums in the world. Period.
They also have an excellent online presence through interactive versions of their in-house exhibits and much more on their web site. (don’t click the button on the main page that says “Don’t Push This Button” :-)
A good example of that “much more” is the Teacher Institute Teaching Tips podcast.
Created by science teachers who have participated in the Exploratorium’s summer programs, these five minute audio programs offer “hands-on activities, science facts, science history, pedagogy tips for new teachers, or other ideas for your science classroom”.
In addition to downloading individual shows, the page also offers links to subscribe in iTunes or any other podcast management program.
Since April 1 they have been posting one podcast a week and seem to be planning to maintain that pace for the foreseeable future.
Incidentally, if you’d like to apply to attend one of their summer institutes, contact information is at the bottom of the podcast main page.
