Episode 116 - Teaching Tolerance

This week, we discussed the idea of teaching tolerance, respect, and acceptance in school.  How do we do this in our classrooms and how do we help parents understand what we are doing?  We were joined by Amanda Marrinan.


You can hear the show and read the chat at EdTechTalk.

Episode 114 - Serendipity

This week, Maria was sick and the chat room was not hopping.  I guess everyone is busy getting ready for the holidays.  But Sheila and Lisa did have one guest, who we were thrilled to call into our skype call to have her join the chat.  Amanda Marrinan took time away from her beach vacation to talk with us about how technology is working in the classrooms.  Sheila, Amanda, and Lisa shared many very exciting for us, and getting to be commonplace for the kids, activities that occur daily in our classrooms.  Enjoy the conversation.


The conversation can be heard here.

Episode 98 - School Rules

This week, Lisa, Sheila, and Maria talked about school rules - what are they, why are they, what should they be.  We started the show with some exciting news about our friend, Amanda Marrinan.  John Fladd also shared some great news with us.

Episode 60 - How to Deal with Socially Inept Comments In School

This week, Sheila and Lisa were joined by Amanda Marrinan to discuss the topic of dealing with adults who say or do inept things in front of children.  Who is responsible for saying something: the teacher who overhears, the children, or the administration?  Maria Knee was missed this week but was well represented by Amanda, who graciously stayed up very late in Australia to join us.

Episode 23 - Differentiating Instruction for ALL Students

What began as an open mike idea, quickly developed into a conversation about the necessity to differentiate instruction for ALL students, not just those with IEPs or 504s. Maria Knee and Lisa Parisi were joined by Amanda Marrinan, all the way from Brisbane, Alice Mercer, from California, and Sheila Adams, in New Hampshire. Sheila also ran our UStream so the show was heard through that venue this week.

Here is the audio and chat archive.
