2023/04/24

Happy Birthday me! Did you know that a few years ago, in an empty classroom, two friends decided to try their hand at podcasting? They didn't have a flippin' clue what they were doing. The sound was awful, the theme music was generic, the delivery a little, shall we say, spicy.... One of the two amateur podcasters decided they couldn't commit so the other one carried on solo. There were no hard feelings. In fact, Shane is back to celebrate 100 episodes. We chat about the good old days

2023/01/30

Do you get your students to reflect in class? How about those students who tend to dominate the conversation? Are they even aware of it? I show you a simple way to starting a reflective conversation, where students consider the amount they (feel they can) participate in a conversation in class.
