Teaching for the Future

Intro:
Thanks to Brad Niessen from the Tech Teacher Podcast for being a friend of the show!

News:

Plagiarism - Blame the Assignment? from Digital Crosswalks: This is a great article that talks about what causes students to cheat and how what steps we can take to begin to avoid the problem in our own classrooms.

TeachersPayTeachers: Cheating? from WebProNews: This article discusses the use of the web by teachers to share lesson plans and materials. Is this cheating or is this just a great way for teachers to save valuable time?

Use Excel to make a timeline from LifeHacker: Now you can use Excel to make a crisp and clean timeline for your presentation or project.

Banksy Vs Paris Hilton from BoingBoing: Graffiti artist Banksy remixed his own version of Paris Hiltons debut album and smuggled it into record stores across the UK. Banksy created 500 copies of his version altering the album art, song titles and some of the tracks.

Need a Smoke? via Neatorama: An ad firm in Chile has created an antismoking campaign using guerilla marketing tactics. The firm created fake cigarettes that contained a note for anyone who picked them up. The note would indicate that the person reading it has a smoking problem and include information on how to get help.

This episode is a recording from Podcamp Boston of I conversation between 4 people at lunch. I sat down to talk to Whitney Hoffman who produces the LD Podcast which is a education podcast about teaching and learning with learning disabilities. Then sitting behind us was Rob Hatch, who blogs at RobHatch.com, his wife Megin Hatch, who is a part of Career Mom Radio. The audio isn't pretty, but otherwise you would have missed out.

Steve Dembo once mentioned that at a conference you learn a lot between the sessions and at breaks when you just get a chance to talk to people. I didn't really understand what he really meant by that until Podcamp. I really got to talk to people one on one during the downtime, between sessions. This episode of Teaching for the Future is one of those instances.
