Hansen School Podcast

Hello there. My name is Justin Martin and I am the Digital Learning Specialist at the Hansen School in Canton, Massachusetts. I've been a fan of podcasts for many years now and I wanted to engage my students in a new and innovative way with podcasting. I've recruited the fourth grade at my school to be the first cohort to begin the journey. We hope to bring you an episode each month this school year. This is our first attempt, so we hope you enjoy it, and we hope to learn from it to bring you more interesting content next year!

In our fourth episode, I ended this year by letting students research a topic that they are passionate about. This "Passion Project" podcast is what they felt they needed to share with us all about their topic. Take a listen!

AN ORIGINAL STORY from Katey

Ella is a shy girl, it is a new year and she’s afraid of losing her best friend, Vinny.

She has a hard time deciding who is a true friend or not.

This is a little story of how Ella sorts this out.

For our second episode, we recently participated in the Hour of Code in celebration of Computer Science Education Week and wanted to share it with you. Students from the fourth grade responded to several questions I posed and we used these responses as our script. Take a listen!

For our first episode, we used the timeliness of Thanksgiving to talk more about gratitude and the things that bring us joy. Students from the fourth grade responded to several questions I posed and we used these responses as our script. Take a listen!
