  • Summary

  • This podcast covers the intersection --or overlap -- of Education and Technology. I podcast out of the computer lab at Benjamin Franklin High School in Arizona. The lab, both a classroom and a tech hub for students, is where I encourage them to experiment with ideas, media formats and communication. But at heart, this is a 'radio' show, using one of the oldest media formats to tell the stories, and back-stories, of the amazing work that goes on at this amazing school. I teach computers and technology, as well as Writing and Publishing. The podcast is edited using Hindenburg Pro software.

  • Junior High Elections - Episode 45
    Oct 17 2023

    A hotly contested Student Government (STUGO) election this year brought out the best in our student body in Sept. 2023. Leaders like Gavin, Ryland, Adrien and Alivia were ready to hit the ground running. So for this episode, I decided to pull them in for this special episode to talk about their ideas and how they will represent the middle school. By the way, three of them are familiar with being in front of a mic - having hosted student podcasts at the end of the year in my class, in 2022.

    A programming note: This is the final episode of Radio 201, as I transition to a new podcast, 'Wide Angle.' Stay tuned!

  • The True, the Good, the Beautiful, and the Inspiring - Episode 44
    Sep 22 2023

    So much goes on in a school, we sometimes take these things for granted. In my class, there's a constant flurry of activity after school in robotics and eSports, besides tutoring, and students popping in to do homework, quizzes, and edit eBooks. And outside these walls, too! So in this episode I wanted to put together a collection of recordings I made, that capture the force field I encounter every day when I open these doors, and carry with me when I leave. Including a snapshot of an amazing speaker I recorded one morning at one of our morning assemblies.

  • When you give a kid the mic - Episode 42
    May 19 2023

    In this episode, my last podcast for the school year, I invite you to listen to the best student podcasts out of my computer lab. You'll be amazed at the topics and the discussion that ensues. Listen to Xander, Braxton and Anthony discuss social media (they called it "What's wrong with this generation?"), Josh and his 9th grade brother Adam discuss coding ("Coding Games"). Gavin interviews 9th grader Andrew about the airforce program known as 'CAP' ("A Cadet's guide to CAP"). Ava and Georgia discuss orchestra ("Symphony Wars") weighing in on leadership issues. Gia and Magnolia discuss historical fiction that they have published as their eBook project in my class ("Book Talk"). Emmit was so taken up with history he interviews his favorite teacher, Mr. Greer. These were just a smattering of the 15 podcasts recorded last week!

    We grownups tend to say that kids say the darndest things. It gets better when we put a mic in front of them! Enjoy!
