"Students have cheated and will continue to cheat in different ways as new technologies evolve and emerge. So we don't want to do everything we do just to prevent cheating because then we're going to be stymying our own opportunity to innovate and try new things. We don't want the fact that students will cheat to limit us from educational innovation."

"Podcasting Mindset" - It doesn't have to be about the tech! Students have passions. Podcasting or speaking about their passions and giving them opportunities to share what they know about content. The goal isn't about launching on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Schools & classrooms are the safe space for them to fail and learn. There are alternate mediums for podcasts - Slides with audio, PDFs, etc. Just need to use the right tool at the right time. Micro-podcasting examples: Mote in Google Slides, Flipgrid mic only mode, audio files in padlet, etc — Focus on content creation! How to get students interested or exposed to listening to podcasts? Encourage student to Google "what you're interested in" podcast Teachers can find amazing podcasts related to content. Even ones with students as hosts.
