Listenwise - Podcasts in the Classroom

 Listenwise is a database of podcasts from NPR organized into the categories of social studies, science, and ELA.  These podcasts come with listening comprehension questions and discussion themes that could be used as class discussions or reflection questions that students complete on their own after listening to the podcast.  

Podcasts can easily be shared to Google Classroom for students to listen to on their own or these could be listened to as an entire class.  

There is a premium version that includes all the podcasts and even more features such as online students assessments and interactive transcripts if that is of interest to you.  You can get a free trial of the premium version for 30 days.
