posted by Lee Ann Obringer

The Podcast Playing Screen

The Walking Classroom app podcast controls use an interface that most people are probably very familiar with, so that part of the post will be brief!

  1. Press the “Play” button to start or pause the podcast.
  2. Tap and drag the playhead dot to jump to a specific spot in the podcast
  3. Use the left and right arrow keys to move forward or backward in 5-second increments.

No data plan? Let it buffer!

If you’re using a device that only has Wi-Fi and you will be walking outside the range of your wireless signal, no worries! Just make sure to let the podcast buffer to your device before you start walking.

  1. Go to the podcast playing screen and click “play”
  2. Wait until the podcast timecode shows, then click “pause”
  3. Wait about a minute while you’re within your Wi-Fi signal range
  4. Then head outside for your walk!

Leaving the Podcast Playing Screen While Listening to a Podcast

If you need to navigate away from the podcast playing screen while you’re listening to a podcast, here are some tips:

  1. To go to the Discussion Questions, use the “Back” arrow button
  2. To go to other sections of the app, use the “Menu” icon to bring up the side menu.
  3. Return to your podcast by using the “Podcast Control” button found in the side menu.
