Astro Students Podcast Part 1

As a teacher, we are always looking for ways for our students to express their knowledge. I have always felt that the best way to firm up in your mind the things that you have learned, is to talk about it and better yet, teach it!So I asked my students to pick a topic they have learned in class (choice), research a bit more about it (life long learning), and prepare a two minute "lesson" to record for this podcast (communication). I got such a wide variety of topics that I decided to group them by theme, and this episode's theme is the solar system. This is their first forage into the world of podcasting and I hope that for some of them, it won't be their last. You will hear that some of them have a real knack for this and likely would make a great podcaster themselves. I'm looking forward to the future to see what else they can create. This may be the first step to a long and enjoyable journey.In the meantime, listen to some of my students speak on a few topics about...the solar system.
