Hi Nicholas,
ReplyDeleteI'm a member of The Educator Network, here in in San Diego, CA, and recently read your clever Naughty/Nice Teacher article :-)
My name is Sarah Hargis, and I taught 2nd grade for 2 years in an inner-city, struggling school in San Antonio, TX. The experience was extremely daunting, but I became a better educator, and have forever formed a deep commitment to education and students in public schools.
Upon my recent move to San Diego, I decided to take on a more flexible position as a Literacy-Intervention Teacher at a local elementary school. What a world of difference it makes to specify in a single content area!
With my flexibility (enjoyable as it is), I've been itching to start a creative project of my own, but one that could also be a service to others. Pulling from my background, I'd like to start a video blog/online talk show for teachers in San Diego. I'm wanting to call it "Teachers Work" with the intent of interviewing and showcasing the work that great teachers across SD are doing- through video. As I embark on this new, creative journey I'm trying to receive as much feedback or advice on how to shape the show, especially since I'd eventually like to make this something that is featured on our city-wide school district website.
As the teacher, blogger, consultant, and creative thinker that you are, do you have any suggestions on how to make a show like this more interesting, engaging, relevant or informative?
Thanks Nicholas, I appreciate any time you're able to afford to this :-)
Sarah
Hi Nicholas,
ReplyDeleteGreetings from and American living Down Under. I've been listening to your podcasts on the way to work and wanted to suggest a guest.
Brian Smith is now working at Hong Kong International School. He is experimenting with the use of electronics and computers in new ways. For example, he's helped students build electronic "spray painters" where they point at the computer screen and "paint" designs. The electricity makes the colors and designs appear. He's also been working on artistic programming with Grade 3 and 4 students.
His twitter handle is @briancsmith . Perhaps you know him already (he's a regular at ISTE and friends with Tom Whitby).
Have a great day and keep the podcasts coming.
