    Kim Jaxon and The Next Right Thing

    Today on our podcast, Dr. Kim Jaxon shares the wisdom of the next right thing. How do we move forward together as a learning and teaching community when there are so many pressures and possibilities? How do we move with integrity?  Kim and I banter about public opinion around education, letting students lead the choice around technology tools, building student identity, and the power of a problem-based approach to teaching. Kim has practical ideas for how our students can be seen and heard, even behind a computer screen, and believes the hope of a bright future lies partly in our ability to innovate. This episode is full of powerful reminders about who should be in charge of learning, and how to get out of our own way and defer to the experts--our students.

    Peter Johnston: Bits of Teaching Wisdom

    Peter Johnston is one of my teaching mentors, a Bright Spot whose words and ideas reach beyond the classroom into the way I see the world, my kids, my friends. I'm thrilled that he agreed to answer questions and muse with me about the state of teaching and learning. Dr. Johnston is currently Professor Emeritus at the University of Albany in New York. His long career of teaching, researching, and noticing has led to countless publications, awards, and conversations around building intellectually healthy classrooms, which, he believes, won’t be achieved without socially and emotionally healthy students. His newest book, co-authored with six remarkable classroom teachers is called Engaging Literate Minds, K-3: Literacy Teaching That Grows Children’s Social, Emotional, and Intellectual Lives. Peter and I talk about the importance of imagination, noticing, equity, and community. We talk about teachers and learners who pursue justice in the world because, perhaps, they learned to care about each other in the classroom.

    Scott McLeod and Digital Gardens

    Today in our podcast, Dr. Scott McLeod challenges what it means to be literate in the classroom. He shares his work at the intersection of technology and leadership as we explore the challenge to relinquish power and potential through the ways access to technology has been marginalized in every level of education for decades. We might think this is a new problem, but Scott helps us understand what is truly at the center of transformative teaching, and that it’s more about leadership than the Learning Management System. He dismantles the “walled gardens” of education technology and how our use of technology can catch up to what our students might have known all along.
