I keep running into podcasts that many reform minded educators would be interested in listening to, but letting them know about the podcasts is difficult. So, I decided that I could start collecting them and posting them in this blog. I will continue to post key podcasts and webcasts on the front page of the blog. There will also be links to the podcast sources so you can get to  their links

This is another podcast from the good folks at World Bridges Network, specifically Teachers Teaching Teachers. Their May 13, 2009 show is titled Resiliency: What are we learning from our students? Part 1. In this podcast Paul Allison talks with 6 teachers who are involved with the National Writing Project.

Please consider this podcast to be an invitation, perhaps even a request for you to join us in the National Writing Project in this conversation about resiliency, writing, and teaching in these difficult times.

So here is part one, 

I will post part 2 when it is posted. As Paul says it you can not join them the day of the show, listen to the podcast and join in the conversation in the blog.

Rethinking Teaching: How Online Learning Can and Should Completely Alter Your View of Education, by Walter Schank.

21st Century Learning podcasts on EdTech Talk always has interesting interview, but I thought these two with Michael Horn and Curt Johnson, co-authors of Disrupting Class are especially important to listen to.

Michael Horn, co-author of Disrupting Class and Executive Director of Education, Innosight Institute discusses disruptive innovation and school change.  This conversation ranged from what schools will look like in 10 years to neuroscience and baseball. Definitely check this one out.

Curtis Johnson, co-author of Disrupting Class,  managing partner at Education Evolving and president of Citistates Group discusses the future of education.  The conversation ranged from psychology of high school students to recommendations for the education policy of President Elect Barack Obama.
