"UNESCO 3.0 Inspired Me to Bring Podcasts into the Classroom"

This testimony is truly inspiring! In today’s audiovisual era, turning podcasts into a pedagogical tool has become essential. I’ve tried it myself in my middle school reading club to improve reading aloud, and the results were remarkable. Students became more motivated, started reading more, and even began exchanging books with one another, which eventually led us to take part in a national competition!

Congratulations for highlighting such a powerful idea, it shows how podcasting can creatively and effectively transform the learning experience. Keep up the amazing reflexion!

@Sanaa, I’m so glad to know it inspired you too, and I hope more educators will join in exploring the creative potential of audio in the classroom. We’re definitely just scratching the surface of what’s possible.
Let’s keep the innovation going!

Participating in the UNESCO Competition 3.0 sparked my passion for using podcasts in the classroom. I discovered how powerful this tool can be in enriching learning offering flexible, accessible, and student-centered experiences, especially for those in under-resourced settings. From boosting critical thinking and digital literacy to encouraging creative expression and collaboration, podcasts have transformed how my students engage with lessons. Thanks to UNESCO, I now see podcasting as a vital step toward future-ready education.

UNESCO Competition 3.0 opened my eyes to the transformative power of podcasts in education. I realized that these audio tools can break down barriers to learning, especially in low-resource environments, by offering students a more flexible and engaging way to connect with content. Podcasts encourage deeper thinking, creativity, and collaboration—skills that matter far beyond the classroom. Since then, I’ve integrated podcasting into my teaching, and it’s brought a new level of energy and expression to my students’ learning journey.

The UNESCO 3.0 experience reshaped the way I think about teaching. It introduced me to podcasting as an educational tool that empowers students to learn anytime, anywhere. Beyond just listening, students become creators sharpening their voices, confidence, and digital fluency. Since then, podcasts have become part of my classroom rhythm, turning ordinary lessons into dynamic, student-led explorations. It’s a journey of sound, story, and self-expression all sparked by one powerful competition.

Hello Dear ,
I completly acknowledge your thougts about the use of Podcast as a pedagogical tool. I also certain that some of student s who are shy to speak in front of class could share their reflection in podcast. some who are less expressive this strategy coukd bringout their inner thoughts . Students who are confident could make theri communiction more effective, to the point and also they can learn new words, idoms, pharese or some complex sentences to deliver their thoughts.

Hello Dear,
Im sure you are enjoying summer vacations. Yes Im certain about using this technology to my classroom, as an engligh lanuage educator I prefer students to more effectively express their thoought not on curriculum but on general topics too. As the text I teach has vast topics to think and express. So podcast not only helps them to share but this is a easy way to listen on different time on our SUSTAINABLE LEARNING CIRCLE.

Hello dear colleagues,.
I’d like to share with you all. As you know, I’ve been working with my students—my girls—on exploring AI and creative tools like Canva. Recently, I gave them a new topic: “How Can We Save Our Earth from Climate Change.” I asked them to write about it and create posters that reflect their thoughts and ideas.

To take it a step further, we also experimented with adding audio to their posters—a trial run to boost their confidence and fluency in speaking. It was like a mini podcast or audio presentation, allowing them to express their ideas not just visually but also through their own voices.
Today I got first presentation completed by one of my student ،im sharing link and eager to hear from you.

Hello Samreen,
Thank you so much for sharing this inspiring work!
It’s wonderful to see how you’re empowering your students,; your girls; to explore important global issues like climate change through both creativity and technology.
The idea of combining visual design with audio is brilliant! It not only builds their confidence in speaking but also helps them express their ideas in a more personal and impactful way.

We can now have a real example of the student’s work, and it’s amazing to see it !
It gives us a clear idea about the level, creativity, and quality of the students involved. Truly impressive.
Looking forward to see more of their creationsand keep up the amazing work! You're not just teaching skills, you're shaping future changemakers. 🥰️️
