The Walking Classroom is an award-winning nonprofit education program that gets kids walking while listening to fun, standards-aligned, educational podcasts.

In additional to the podcast's core content, each podcast begins with a different brief health message to build health literacy. It also incorporates a character value woven throughout the narrative (and included in the discussion questions) to support social and emotional learning.
The new mobile app includes almost 200 podcasts and is completely free to use through July 31, 2020. Discussion questions for each podcast are included right in the app. A separate Teacher's Guide with full lesson plans including quizzes is available in our online store.

Support the transition to virtual learning and help students think critically and compassionately about what they see online. As the effects of the coronavirus sweep through the United States and across the world, many teachers and schools are making the shift to virtual learning. But even if students are comfortable with technology, learning online requires its own norms and procedures, many of which will be new to students who are used to learning in a face-to-face classroom.
In addition, teachers and students alike are spending more time checking news and social media in an effort to understand the coronavirus and its effects. Now more than ever, students need key digital citizenship skills, including news and media literacy, the ability to recognize and respond to cyberbullying, and an understanding of how their media habits affect them.
