The Creative Classroom with John Spencer John Spencer

This is a high-quality podcast and the issues discussed are relevant to today’s educators. My only issue is that John sometimes speaks quietly and I’m not able to hear him clearly.

John, I just listened to your podcast "why trust is vital to peer feedback". I enjoyed listening to it and agree with the importance of receiving peer feedback. Some of the examples you gave and the logic around low/high trust and its relationship to the kind of feedback people give were illustrative and useful. I would recommend people listening to this podcast if they want to become more aware about facilitating for peer feedback in and out of classrooms.

Sometimes teachers hear only the why, which is the focus of this podcast: why direct instruction is from important within a gold-standard PBL. But here you also get how to embed engaging and interactive direct instruction into your classroom projects to improve student learning. I can build on both the why and the how presented in this podcast. After attending PBLOhio, this is extremely timely for me, thank you!
