11: Resolutions – Eduspeakeasy

It’s January. A new year. We all know what that means. In this episode of the Eduspeakeasy Podcast, let’s talk resolutions. I’ll share three big resolutions with you — mostly to keep myself honest. For two of these resolutions, it’s really obvious that I can’t complete them without working hard towards them every day. For the third, I need to remind myself to keep making progress every day. Step inside the ‘Speakeasy and have listen.

08: Uncoachable – Eduspeakeasy

I know this sounds crazy, but I have some advice for the children of the world. Kids, don’t worry, just because you failed out of tee ball doesn’t mean you’ll never have a job as long as you live. Inspired by a recent quote shared by well-meaning adults, this is episode 8 of the Eduspeakeasy podcast: Uncoachable.

07: Gamify Life – Eduspeakeasy

Gamification is an exciting means of engaging students in the learning process. But today I’m not here to talk about gamifying the classroom, but rather, gamification as a way of life. I had a recent project and I looked for ways to challenge myself rather than just meet the basic requirements. I looked for ways to learn more than what was expected. This way, it would be, you know…fun. It first occurred to me that I could have fun with things on my to-do list (also known as responsibilities) about a year and a half ago. I heard a story by video producer Simeon Quarrie, who shared a story at the FCP X Creative Summit in 2017 of how he tries to keep his career interesting. Gamification is not new. Jane McGonigal gave a popular TED Talk in 2012 and has published a successful book and app to help people with various life problems. I’m suggesting we can gamify on any level, even the most basic day-to-day life events.
