TMST: Podcast Learning Anytime

-
In this day and time, there are no restrictions on how, when and the type of learning we choose.  Gone are the days where you have to attend PD in order to build skills, be inspired and make a change.  It truly is one of this self-appointed learning nerd's favorite things because we can choose to be in a state of learning anytime.  

 I am always exploring new ways to learn and was inspired by my friend and fellow DLC Sam Neal to try out some educational podcasts.  Podcasts are great because you can listen and learn on your phone while driving in the car, taking a shower and/or waiting in line for something.  

 If you are like me, searching for Podcasts can be a little overwhelming.  I was so thankful that Sam shared a curated list of some of her favorites.  Check out her list below!

So this week, I challenge you to listen to an episode one of these and share something you learn or are inspired by OR let me know a podcast you are listening to that is inspiring you!

    Thanks for sharing! I just added a new favorite: 10 Minute Teacher Show by @coolcatteacher - perfect for my drive to school! I can't wait to see what your readers share. I hope to be adding some great new podcasts to the board from their comments!

    I just subscribed to the ten minute teacher show and the truth for teachers. I'm excited to learn more on my commute, as well! Thank you.

    My favorite PD is the time I spend scrolling through Twitter in my PJs and fuzzy bunny slippers! I haven't explored podcasts yet. Which ones do you recommend for coaches?

      Hi Melissa! I am so glad we are blogging buddies! Thank you for commenting! This is going to sound kind of kooky, but Oprah's Soul Sessions is one of my "go-to" listens. I think the more we understand about ourselves and others, the better coaches we become! :) . Can't wait to learn with you this year!

    Hi Alli! One of my favorites is definitely Note to Self. They do such great work highlighting the challenges and awesomeness of living in a technology-rich age, and debating how to navigate the decisions it presents. It's not education-based, but brings up many great points for us to consider as we're working with young people working through growing up in a digital time.

TMST: An Apple A Day

I was once told that it is important for us as educators to remember what learning feels like .  To do this, we must actively involve ourselves in learning new things.   Last week, Apple released its Apple Teacher program , which is a professional learning challenge to help educators learn more about using iPads and Macs in an educational setting.   This self-paced challenge provides educators several modes  (Multi-touch book, help site, or from the Apple store)   in which to learn about using Mac and iPad in education.  Upon successful completion of a quick 5 question assessment for different skills, educators earn electronic badges.   To me, this was a perfect way for me to remember what learning feels like.   I immediately went into NERD mode and began the program.  On a Friday night.   Yep, I'm super cool.  But the neat part was that a few of my awesome CISD friends were also doing it too.  Back and forth we went...

Gearing up for 17-18

Hello, blog readers! No, I didn't fall off the face of the planet.  Life events forced me to truly disconnect this summer, which I rarely do.  It was needed and it was worth it.  Since my One Word for the year is BREATHE, I knew this summer must be one of rest. But...a new school year is upon us.  As I move from dreading the alarm clock to the inevitable excitement a new year brings, I am reminded of a quote from the movie, You've Got Mail .   We met our new hires today during Digital Learning Day.  I wanted to tell them all the things - how our district promotes risk, how we believe in learning beyond the tools, how little kids can and will when we have growth mindsets. I wanted to tell them that is is less about technology and more about relationships, that if they are willing to let go, the sky is the limit for our kids. I wanted to tell them that they have as much to teach me as I have to offer them. It's a lot for a "first day", but I kn...

TMST: Twitter Sanity

I am often asked, "Alli, how do you keep up with all the things?"  While I stifle my laughter since most of the time I feel like I am drowning just like everyone else, my mind always ends up at Twitter.   I know.  Twitter.   Image Credit: Roobee You either love it or hate it.  To honest, I hated it too circa 2009.  I laughed at people who felt the need to update everyone on everything in their lives.  I just didn't get it. These days, you might say I am slightly addicted to Twitter.  It is my #1 place to get news, professional learning and discussion from others passionate about education like me.  I follow approximately 1,000 people and if I have one beef, it is how overwhelming having access to all that information can be. So here is one secret of how I keep up with "all the things" -  Lists. In my profile, I created lists of people and groups so that I can drown out the noise and filter only information that ...
