Hi everyone, it is episode #62! This is something that we wanted to do for a while and this is somewhat of Dennis' forte. In this episode we explore the inner workings of the brain and how this can affect the way we teach.

"We teach the way we were taught". This is a common idea that essentially grounds the practice of most teachers in the classroom. If we assume this to be true, are teachers then resistant to changing practice and trying new things in their classroom? Dennis and Mark discuss this idea and also offer ideas on how we can adopt more evidence based methods for our practice.
In Part 2 Mark introduces the new tool Polonto, a Canva/Pikto chart equivalent which is absolutely free!! Enjoy the app!

Welcome everyone to the very first episode of 2023!
In this first episode, we look at how we can make use of EduTech tools to enhance student learning and performance from an evidence based perspective. We unpack how we can get past the "shiny object syndrome" and really use these tools to get students to think critically and to use them to be more self regulated.
As we get back into the groove of 2023, we hope that you enjoy this episode. As usual, you can write to us at [email protected].

In this final episode for 2022, Dennis and Mark unpack the concept of intuitive teaching - what it means and why being an intuitive teacher may not be such a great idea after all. We look at examples of intuitive teaching and we also offer ideas on how teachers can leverage on their own intuitive teaching with evidence based principles.
Have a look at the Harvard article - https://www.gse.harvard.edu/news/ed/20/05/teacher%E2%80%99s-intuition
In Part 2, Mark shares an interesting site on teachers who are considering differentiated instruction and instead of trying to differentiate content, product and the learning environment, teachers should leverage their expertise and to FOCUS on differentiating their teaching methods. Have a read

And we are back! In this episode, Dennis and Mark discuss the merits of having School Evaluation and point out the potential benefits in helping a school grow and thrive. We also look at the other side of the coin where we look at potential problems School Evaluations can bring and how we can mitigate them.
In Part 2, Mark shares the EduTech took Blooket (pronounced Blue Kit) and how it is potentially better than Kahoot! Blooket is a new take on trivia and review games! The way it works is that a teacher/host picks a question set and a unique game mode. Then, Blooket generates a code that players can use to join the game on their own devices. After the game starts, players will answer questions to help them win. That's where the fun starts, because Blooket offers a variety of games to keep students engaged and excited.

In Part 2, Mark shares a quote from Theodore Roosevelt in one of his most famous speech called the "Man in Arena" from his "Citizenship in the Republic".
Here's the quote:
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

What comes to mind when we say "Active Learning"? Does it mean students always doing something? When does it become activity for activity sake? In this episode, Dennis and Mark attempt to answer the question "Is Active Learning Always Active"? We look at the concepts behind active learning, what actually qualifies as active learning and does it mean that students HAVE to be doing something all of the time? The answer will surprise you. Have a listen.
In Part 2, we look at the new tool called peergrade. It is a nifty little tool that allows you to set up a peer assessment system for your students as they learn how to grade their peers and offer good, meaningful and actionable feedback.

In this episode, Dennis and Mark deconstruct the work of Johnmarshall Reeves focusing on how we can build autonomy supporting strategies for our students. Reeves' research point out that adopting an autonomy supporting style helps to build agentic learners. Agentic Learners can be framed as students who have learned how to learn and have developed appropriate habits of mind (e.g., Growth mindset) that support active engagement and autonomy in their learning relations and strategies. Why is this important? Well, Deci, Vallerand, Pelletier & Ryan (1991) reported that: Students in classrooms with autonomy-supportive teachers displayed more intrinsic motivation, perceived competence, and self-esteem than did students in classrooms with controlling teachers.
In Part 2, Mark shares the tool Frame. Frame uses VR technology to create online spaces that feel more three-dimensional, allowing participants to move through virtual spaces as if they are physically in a room together. In the world of Frame, a host can create an environment like an office, a lounge, or even an island, and populate that environment with artwork, documents, videos, or any other kind of materials needed for a lesson or other experience. Participants move around the space as avatars and can use voice or text chat to interact.

As we inch towards the 50th episode, we look back and forward on what teacher expertise will look like after COVID has changed everything. Is it more of the same or are we looking at radically new competencies and visions for the future of teaching and learning? Dennis and Mark try and unpack these competencies and share what they think the Teacher of the Future will need to navigate a VUCA teaching and learning world.
In Part 2, Mark shares the tool Lumen5. Just like the previous tool, Pictory. Lumen5 uses AI-powered technology to help you storyboard your ideas, fit your content to a layout, and find music and visuals that enhance your message. They have a variety of templates to use and you DO NOT need technical knowledge to create videos. Check them out!

If you are like every teacher out there wondering what content to cover in an already very tight time-table, then this episode is for you. Dennis and Mark explore the 40-40-40 rule where it begets the question - "Of all of the academic standards, you are tasked with âcoveringâ, whatâs important that students understand for the next 40 days, whatâs important that they understand for the next 40 months, and whatâs important that they understand for the next 40 years?"
In some ways, it can be reduced to a depth vs breadth argument. Coverage versus mastery. UbD refers to it as the difference between ânice to know,â âimportant content,â and âenduring understandings.â Dennis and Mark attempt to shed more light on the 40-40-40 rule and discuss how you can exploit it for your own classroom
