Thank you, @conniehamilton for your 3rd appearance on Overthrowing Education and a great conversation about Hacking Group Work and for once again playing a great game on The 5-Minute Game Show!

How do we deal with the insanity? Sometimes you just gotta use humor. Thank you, @DavidMKeyes!

Wanna know how great this school is? Parents and teachers have been telling me all week that they've been listening to my podcast Overthrowing Education! They get it.

Our joke show is here and there are (at least) 185 reasons why you'll love it! Thanks to @MathforLove @howie_hua @kimdayers @OverthrowingEd and numerous other members of the Math Club for sharing your humor with us. And now, without further ado, let the laughs begin!

Give a listen!

Hey, it's been a while since I put out a new episode of Overthrowing Education (10 months actually), but I couldn't just let this go by. What is happening in our schools??!! traffic.libsyn.com/overthrow…

It's time to bring critical thinking back. I'm starting by posting questions we all need to think about.

I really needed some laughs this morning! Thank you @MathClubPodcast for providing them!

I didn’t know this. Wow. Watch—

I really like the podcast Learner-Centered Spaces with @mrs_frommert and @mssackstein . Give a listen to this episode!

I had an amazing opportunity to speak to @mrs_frommert and @mssackstein about some of my favorite topics in education, including better assessments, on their podcast Learner-Centered Spaces us02web.zoom.us/j/8344987975… Give a listen!

“The people in this room say that this resolution is about Gaza…but we know that’s not true. They’re trying to make life harder for Jews here in America. And they’re succeeding.” 14-year-old Phoebe Wolf is experiencing first-hand the horrific rise in antisemitism in the U.S. since October 7th in her own classroom in Durham, North Carolina. She describes to the City Council how Jewish kids are scared to wear Jewish stars or kippahs, and are already seeing glimpses into Nazi Germany, 1939. “The goal of Hamas was not just to kill Israeli families but to make every Jew alive fearful and feel pain,” Phoebe says, demonstrating just how passing a ceasefire resolution would aid in both goals, and saying that she doesn't “know what’s scarier. Watching pure evil terrorize your people or seeing so much of the world support it." The world is playing right into the Hamas’ hands because it is easier to side with the terrorist organization than to support Jews. Let that sink in.

That's awesome! Yours was such a great podcast with so many excellent guests...if you ever dust off the mic would love to do another!

A fun pod I did a few years back. #matheducation #teaching

In this bonus episode of #EduDuctTape, I chat with @BatshevaFrankel of @OverthrowingEd about some great #EdTech tools and we have lots of laughs! #DeeperLearning #DesignThinking #CompetencyEd #PersonalizedLearning #EduTech #Edu #EduTwitter #TOSAChat jakemiller.net/eduducttape-b…

Love this conversation with @JakeMillerTech! Imforative and fun! A great listen at the end of a busy week.

My whole career in ed. has been devoted to getting students to think critically. What happens when they don't learn how to think & question? They allow themselves to be indoctrinated. Our colleges are filled w/Ss who never question the validity of outragous statements they shout.

I told a student last wk that the work they do in the class is for them, not for me. They said, “That kind of blows my mind.” We’ve taught S’s to 🙃learn for the teacher (& points, grades, credits, credentials) to the pt that it rarely occurs to them they cd learn for themselves

@CheyandPav @TheCNPodcast @OverthrowingEd @PodcastCupOfJoe @SpookySchool

Check out the whole episode! It's a great conversation about how to get students to ask great question. Also, it's super fun!
