    Episode 3: Is AI rendering a teacher redundant?

    Episode 3 of TEACHER CHATTER contains a conversation around an important question: Is AI rendering a teacher redundant? Or can AI be an assistant that enriches teachers’ classes by freeing them up to do the things that they formerly couldn’t find time for? It ends with an invitation to listeners like you, dear teacher, to join the conversation with YOUR ideas. Write to us at thinkingteacher22@gmail.com if you are interested in being a part of this podcast.

    Episode 2: Seven more teacher trajectories

    SEVEN thought-provoking trajectories of teachers  … From being a corporate trainer to a teacher educator …From a student getting inspired by her own school and college teacher to one who finally took up this profession ...From being sure that one would definitely not become a teacher (with such a low salary and a lower status in society than bankers, IAS officers, etc.) to doing a B Ed and finally loving teaching as a job …From teaching adult women from a tribal community under a tree every evening to becoming a passionate teacher of children …From slipping into the teaching profession without a clue about what it entailed, to enjoying the depth of questions about Life that it naturally evoked …From looking longingly at the idyllic school opposite one’s house (even though one didn’t have the privilege to attend it) and admiring the ambience, the loving expressions on those teachers ' faces, to finally choosing teaching as one’s own profession …From always wanting to be a teacher but starting as an IT professional – and then, by chance, answering an advertisement for online teaching just to accommodate work in the busy life of a housewife and mother – to finally opting for school teaching as a profession… These are the interesting trajectories described in Episode 2 of TEACHER CHATTER. What is your story?  Email us a one-minute audio recording (or a short write-up) here: thinkingteacher22@gmail.com. Include your name and location. http://thinkingteacher.in  Email: thinkingteacher22@gmail.com  Note:  AI-generated music has been used in this podcast

    Episode 1: Why did you become a teacher?

    On 5th September 2026, a day that is celebrated as Teachers' Day in India, here is a podcast that allows an exchange of views on Teaching and Learning. We will do podcast interviews, conversations, and discussions - all around this theme. Parents, students, teachers and teacher educators are our target audience. We start with a very pertinent question to a teacher: What made you become a teacher? Six teachers speak of what made them become teachers in the first episode of Teacher Chatter. More will follow in Episode Two, but in the interim, can we hear from you, too? What made you decide to take up teaching as a profession?  Respond on LinkedIn. http://thinkingteacher.in  Email: thinkingteacher22@gmail.com  Note:  AI-generated music has been used in this podcast
