    In Episode 75, the Stunt Brothers are in unanimous agreement that teachers should be out of the classroom and locked in on the blissful “every day is Sunday" state of mind.

    Taking Tech Out Of The Classroom With Dylan Kane

    In Episode 71 of After the Bell, the Stunt Brothers decide to think outside the box quite literally. Leaving the confines of the studio behind, our podcasters set up shop in Martin’s garden. Surrounded by fresh air, and blooming plants, they quickly notice that despite relying on technology to record the podcast, being outdoors makes them feel more relaxed, more focused, and perhaps a little more connected. This observation sets the stage perfectly for today’s virtual trip to Colorado to chat with Dylan Kane, a math teacher who made the bold decision to remove technology from his classroom. In an age where screens seem to be everywhere, Dylan’s experiment has led to some fascinating discoveries about student engagement, learning, attention, and classroom culture. Join Martin, Roy, and Dylan for an engaging and thought-provoking conversation about what happens when technology takes a back seat and why sometimes less technology can create more opportunities for meaningful learning.

    Winding Down? Winding Up! The Challenges of Getting Through June

    In Episode 70 of After the Bell, before the Stunt Brothers get down to business, they take a tour through some classic conversation topics: the weather, gardening, and Roy's short torso. Eventually, the discussion shifts to hockey, as Martin and Roy break down the playoff series between the Montreal Canadiens and the Colorado Hurricanes. While praising Montreal's goaltender for turning away seemingly every puck that comes his way, Martin draws an unexpected parallel between tending the crease and teaching in the month of June. This observation sparks a lively conversation about one of education's biggest misconceptions: the belief that teachers are winding down as summer approaches. In reality, June often feels like the exact opposite. Join Martin and Roy for a fun, humorous, and relatable episode as they explore why teaching in June isn't winding down at all, it's winding up.
