Teaching for the Future

I was honored by Jason Bradshaw from the Cephalopodcast, by mentioning me on his show's blog page. Jason does a really great podcast about science and marine biology. If you have a podcast I'd love to hear about it, so feel free to email at teachingforthefuture@gmail.com or send me an audio message through Odeo

Intro:

Thanks to Chris Brogan, my fellow New England Podcaster, for such a great intro to the show. Please check out Chris's other work at GrasshopperFactory.com

Also on the topic of affordable books is Dan Gilmor'sWe the Media which is the only book I'm reading right now outside of school. It's an excellent guide to Read/Write culture and the history of New Media. This book sells for $24 on Amazon.com, but Gilmor released his book under a Creative Commons Liscense. This means that you can go to his publisher's page and down load the book for free.

I thought this "Unintentionally hideous college recruitment video" was a joke, but according to Boing Boing I was totaly wrong.

I had another busy weekend of class at Lesley University, but I was still able to put out another show. I was listening to the fourth episode of the Lifehack.org Podcast where host Chris Brogan interviews Asha Dornfest from Parenthacks.com. She gives some good advice about marketing within your own home. Next I talk about a great podcast called Guy in a Tie by Jeff Bradley who teaches science in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Check out his website and the other podcasts he does with this students on his site or on iTunes. Recently the Financial Aid Podcast celebrated it’s 300th show and Lauren and I did a promo for Chris Penn and he played it on the top of the show. I end the show talking about free comic books from the Federal Reserve bank which are a great introduction to US Economic Policy..

I started another weekend class at Lesley University this weekend and I am already a bit burned out, but I didn't want to neglect my podcasting duties. In this episode I talk about media literacy and I try to remind everyone that kids are not mini adults. I also wanted to congratulate Christopher Penn of the Financial Aid Podcast on his 300th Episode because his show is great and he has been a big supporter for Teaching for the Future. Later in the show I talk about a Perry Bible Fellowship cartoon I saw in the Weekly Dig and how it shows how our world is changing. To wrap up the show I play a promo from Shrink Rap Radio which is a great psychology/education podcast that I really love.

If you like the show and you want to support Teaching for the Future go over to PodcastAlley.com and vote for the show. The votes are reset every month so please keep on voting.
