Podcasts, the "Netflix" of radio? (Tech Task #7)

Photo by Austin Distel on Unsplash


I have been a fan of podcasts for many years. It started when I moved years ago and had a long, highway commute. Today, I have an even longer commute and reach for podcasts in any spare moment I find. I have learned and been entertained by podcasts; some podcasts are great and others are not so great. In the Vlog below, I share one of my personal development podcasts for teachers.

What is the Internet of Things (IoT) and the power it holds for education?

In  an interview with David Bowie  in 1999, the interviewer counters Bowie regarding the internet saying, "Isn't it just a tool?" and David Bowie's response "No it's not, no, no it's an alien life form [...] it's going to, it's going to crush our ideas of what mediums are all about and [...] it's happening in every form." The internet today surrounds us in previously unimaginable ways and plays a huge role in our lives but have many of us questioned what it really is and the power the internet holds for education in particular?  Until today, I always just used the internet and never really thought about what it was and its endless possibilities.

The delight doesn't directly come from not having to pay, but rather the action of kindness and the element of surprise. This concept of joy and delight can and should be brought into the classroom. This week's speaker Dean Shareski spoke to bringing joy and delight into the classroom.  To say the least, Dean's presentation was uplighting and got my brain working. He discusses how "learning is [suppose to be] a joyful act worthy of celebration" but often the words that students to describe school and learning are negative. Often the atmosphere of schools can take on rigid, test-driven and boring in the eyes of students. We as teachers have the power to change t...

Boss Level - Achieve Total Engagement - Gamification Reflection

Photo by Erik Mclean on Unsplash Due to the ongoing pandemic, remote learning is a hot topic of discussion and is a common practice within Education. But what if I told you that remote learning the way we see it today, has actually been going on for years? This week I had the opportunity to listen to a presentation by two individuals who have been teaching remotely, long before the pandemic. Those individuals are Chris Fredrickson and Shannon Magee, who are both Web-Based Course Consultants for the Province of Manitoba.   The topics Chris and Shannon covered during their presentation in my Internet for Educators course, included many ways to engage students in a remote setting such as: using an LMS, collaborative tools, portfolios, gamification and personalized learning. I had the opportunity to participate in not one, but two other Personal Development (PD) sessions with Chris and Shannon at the BYTE conference this year. Chris presented in detail the topic of gamification ...
