World History Podcasts

Last week I shared a collections of American History pod casts. This week I feel it is appropriate to also offer a series of world history pod casts that are also free to access and great to show to a class. Since world history and American history are the two most common history classes taught in our public schools I feel it would be a good idea to represent both on this blog. One website called learn out loud offers scores of pod casts that cover the classical times all the way to modern world history and anything in between. I listened to a few of the pod casts on this site that dealt with Greek Mythology since it is an interest of mine and I thought they were very well done. You don't have to pay for anything and there is a lot of great stuff and most of the pod casts are short so they would work in a high school class if you wanted to show one. Rather than showing a podcast in class they could assign a podcast for homework and have students write a reflection on it. Enjoy
