    Pop Offs are short bonus episodes of Pop and Play where we bring you short, more timely shows between main seasons of Pop and Play. This week: everyone wants to talk about AI, in education just like everywhere else! Is AI the solution to everything? Is it the downfall of everything? Or maybe, just maybe, could it be something in between? Nathan pops off about the way some AI tools are currently being used for teaching, and suggests alternative ways we could think about AI in classrooms and other learning environments.  Please take our listener survey! We could really use your insight and opinions, and we want to hear your ideas for Pop Off topics and future guests!  For transcripts of this episode, to learn about our guests, and more, visit our website.  Our music is selections from Leafeaters by Podington Bear, Licensed under CC (BY-NC) 3.0.

    Pop Off: Do We Need Checklists for Children’s Play?

    Pop Offs are short bonus episodes of Pop and Play where we bring you short, more timely shows between main seasons of Pop and Play. This week: it seems like there are checklists for everything! A checklist can be a useful tool, but do we need them for children’s play? Can you guess what Haeny thinks? And since Haeny and Nathan have committed to offering alternatives in addition to complaints, what could parents do instead to reflect on their child’s play? Please take our listener survey! We could really use your insight and opinions, and we want to hear your ideas for Pop Off topics and future guests!  For transcripts of this episode, to learn about our guests, and more, visit our website.  Our music is selections from Leafeaters by Podington Bear, Licensed under CC (BY-NC) 3.0.

    Learning about Playing Roles from the Experts: Kids!

    This week Haeny and Nathan get schooled. Specifically they visit the first grade classroom of first-grade teacher and education scholar Carmen Llerena and talk to some kids! They learn how to play pirates, all about Rainbow Friends, and how to navigate conflict through pretend play. They talk about how kids use available materials to play in unexpected ways, the role of adults when it comes to shaping spaces where kids play, and learn about how easily imaginary worlds emerge from a pile of blocks.  Fact check: We know that while Haeny says “America Ferrera aka Barbie” in this episode, Barbie was actually played by Margot Robbie in the movie and America Ferrera played a human character. No need to email, message, or DM us this correction.

    Live Action Role Playing (with Swords!) at the Wayfinder Experience

    There’s no denying it (looking at you, Haeny), on this week’s episode we’re diving into “role playing.” It’s right in the acronym “Live Action Role Playing” or LARPing, the topic of this week’s episode. Haeny and Nathan are joined by Judson Packard, Program Director of the Wayfinder Experience camp in the Hudson Valley that runs LARPing programs for kids. They talk about their experiences as a camper at Wayfinder and now as a staff member, and what LARPing offers people that can make it a special and transformative experience. And they discuss the central importance of foam swords. Also: beware of spoilers for the movie Role Models! (It came out in 2008, so… you had time.)  For transcripts of this episode and more, visit our website.  Our music is selections from Leafeaters by Podington Bear, Licensed under CC (BY-NC) 3.0.

    Playing Parts and Engaging Communities Through Theater

    This episode takes the theme of “playing roles” this season literally! Marah and Chris join Haeny and Nathan on the Pop and Play stage to talk about acting! They are a married couple that acts in community theater productions in San Francisco. They talk about how they got into acting, what has kept them coming back to it, and how it feels to be on stage as a lead character and a person of color in front of younger generations. Also Nathan and Haeny put them on the spot for an unrehearsed acting challenge (without even giving them to the count of ten), and the results are impressive and maybe a little terrifying.
