You Can’t Make This Up


At the dawn of the social media era, Belle Gibson became a pioneering wellness influencer - telling the world how she beat cancer with an alternative diet. Her bestselling cookbook and online app provided her success, respect, and a connection to the cancer-battling influencer she admired the most. But a curious journalist with a sick wife began asking questions that even those closest to Belle began to wonder. Was the online star faking her cancer and fooling the world? Kaitlyn Dever stars in the Netflix hit series Apple Cider Vinegar . Inspired by true events, the dramatized story follows Belle’s journey from self-styled wellness thought leader to disgraced con artist. It also explores themes of hope and acceptance - and how far we’ll go to maintain it. In this episode of You Can't Make This Up, host Rebecca Lavoie interviews executive producer Samantha Strauss. SPOILER ALERT! If you haven't watched Apple Cider Vinegar yet, make sure to add it to your watch-list before listening on. Listen to more from Netflix Podcasts .…

Have you ever wondered how games can make learning more fun and effective? How can you use game elements like points, badges, leaderboards, or stories to motivate and engage your students? If these questions perk your curiosity, then you are in the right place. During this podcast season we will be doing a book study of Power Up Your Classroom by Lindsey Blass & Cate Tolnai. This book is a practical guide for educators who want to reimagine learning through gameplay and we will be diving deep into it. In this book study, we will explore the difference between gamification and game-based learning, the pedagogical value of various game features, and the steps to design and implement gamified and game-based learning experiences into your classroom. Whether you teach elementary or higher education, in math or music, this book study will help you discover how games can transform your teaching practice. I hope you have your copy of the book ready, because we are about to embark on an exciting adventure. Let the games begin (hehe)!

Welcome to Module 8 The Distance Learning Playbook! In this enlightening episode, we delve into a topic that lies at the heart of effective learning: the pivotal roles of feedback, assessment, and grading. Join me as we explore the profound impact these elements have on the educational journey. In the digital realm of education, where physical presence is replaced by virtual connections, the significance of feedback and assessment cannot be overstated. We present a compelling case for how these elements serve as the compass guiding students toward enhanced learning and continuous growth. Our discussions center around the core principle that feedback isn't just a checkbox on the educational to-do list; it's the cornerstone of improvement. Discover how the power of timely feedback empowers students to gauge their progress, recognize their strengths, and pinpoint areas ripe for development. But it's not just about the frequency; it's about the diversity of feedback methods that truly make a difference. We unravel the strategies and techniques that educators employ to provide a rich tapestry of feedback. From personalized assessments to constructive critiques, we explore how this varied feedback landscape creates a more holistic learning experience. Join us on this thought-provoking journey as we unpack the ways in which feedback, assessment, and grading interlace to form the scaffolding of successful distance learning. As we navigate through Module 8, you'll come away with a deeper appreciation for the symbiotic relationship between student progression and these essential educational components. Tune in to discover how the power of feedback illuminates the path to knowledge and growth in the digital age.

In today's enlightening installment, our focus is on a crucial topic: Teacher Credibility at a Distance. But don't be fooled! This module isn't just for remote learning situations; it applies to in-person education as well. In a traditional classroom, teachers have an array of tools to establish credibility with their students. However, in a distance learning environment, the game changes. Physical presence and body language are no longer at play. Instead, we must concentrate on our words and actions to build trust and credibility. Surprisingly, many of the principles discussed in this module are equally applicable when teaching in person. Why is teacher credibility so vital, you may ask? It directly impacts student engagement. When students perceive their teacher as knowledgeable and competent, they become more interested in the lessons and actively engage with the material. Trust plays a crucial role too. Students are more likely to trust a teacher they perceive as credible, leading to open-mindedness in receiving feedback and a willingness to invest effort in learning. Ultimately, teacher credibility enhances students' academic success, motivating them to give their best effort and achieve their goals. Join us in this episode as we delve into all aspects of teacher credibility and its profound impact on student learning. I explore practical strategies and insightful tips to establish and maintain credibility in a distance learning environment. If you missed our previous episodes, you can find them in the feed.

For this week’s podcast we are going back to the summer and learning all about what Barbara Cheney from Indian Orchard. Barbara’s experiences range from kindergarten all the way through 12th grade. We discussed teaching early in her career through Covid to now. I have always loved teaching Summer School, and Barbara is part of a cool program during summer school through the Inventor’s Hall of Fame. I even got the chance to visit her class and we made a pretty awesome video, along with this podcast I think you’ll get insight into what English Language Learning is like here in Springfield. You’ll also learn about what technology in the classroom looks like for Barbara near the end. To see Computer Science and EL Learning in action at Boland Elementary School, check it out here.

This week I am bringing you an incredibly special episode. Over the summer I met Karen Toro and Courtney Ciras from Alice B. Beal Elementary School. During the summer, as teachers, we can really develop new practices in a low-pressure environment. This also means that we get to try new things. With close to 25 years teaching experience combined and Karen coming up through the Springfield School system, these two were ready to try something new! This is where Courtney and Karen come in, over the summer they signed up to learn more about Computer Science in the classroom. They took a week’s course over in Boston and it spurred them to really invest into Computer Science in their classrooms. In this episode you’ll hear all about their stories and how they ended up wanting to teach CS in their respective classrooms. It’s important to note that they are not Computer Science teachers but they learned that even if they are not teaching CS they are Computer Scientists. To see CS in action at Alice B. Beal check out this video .
