Podcasts and TEKS-Based Instruction
Podcasts can be another method to expand understanding of a particular topic. If you are looking for ways to engage students and enhance your TEKS-based instruction as it relates to U.S. History, podcasts about Native history issues made by Indigenous podcasters may be worth considering. The New York Times published this article recently to feature some of the podcasts recommended by Native podcast-makers.
