Where aren’t there podcasts that can be made relevant for a teaching context? I think podcasts are a good teaching scaffold because there is such flexibility around the subject matter which is accessible for teachers to use. Choose anything from ABC, SBS, Podcasts in the classroom. Of course there are many more that are definitely worth exploring when completing activities for a lesson plan.
For this SWOT analysis I have chosen Starstuff, which is a podcast about NASA discovering a baby black hole.
