    Impediments to ongoing professional development include lack of time, lack of resources, and even isolated working conditions. Podcasts can fill the gap and help teachers stay informed and continue growing throughout the year. However, podcasts can also be overwhelming due to their sheer number and the solitary experience of listening alone. This session introduces teachers to podcasts, where to find them, and ways podcasts can be useful for teachers at every level. Included are strategies to effectively incorporate change after listening to an episode, to reflect on new ideas, and to connect with other listeners using social media.
