Mike Kaechele: Combine PBL and SEL for Super-Powered Learning
Overthrowing Education
07/12/21 • 40 min
In this episode, I have a great conversation with the wise and wonderful educator, Mike Kaechele, who clearly lays out why Project-Based Learning is such a natural partner for growing Social Emotional Learning skills and how to combine them together to create a better education for all students. Mike provides lots of great examples and tools (not just tech tools, either) to design incredible PBL units, with great SEL opportunities. We top off this important discussion with an acronym based The 5-Minute Game Show that is a lot of fun!
I’d like to give a special thank you to Mike Kaechele and to Linda Korn for the wonderful Paradigm Shifters jingle on today’s fauxmercial.

Nadav Zeimer: Overthrowing Transcripts and Standardized Tests
Overthrowing Education
10/03/21 • 39 min
I have a pretty radical guest today, Nadav Zeimer, an educator with a strong background in education and digital media, who is definitely doing his part in trying to overthrow education. He talks about how to completely overhaul our flawed transcript system that particularly effects high school students, and he has a plan for eradicating standardized testing that pretty much effects all students.
I had really high hopes that when we moved to predominantly remote learning in 2020, and it became clear to people just how absurd most standardized testing was. I was sure that we’d finally see some big changes. Unfortunately, I don’t see that happening. In my disappointment with the continuing status quo, I realized this was the perfect time to shake things up. And Nadav is certainly trying to make that happen.
And stay tuned to after the interview for the 5-Minute Game Show. And the fauxmercial for this episode is a parody of the classic cartoon “Mighty Mouse” where I get a chance to use my editing skills. It’s a lot of fun!
I would like to thank my special guest Nadav Zeimer. I also want to give a huge shout out to my fellow voices on the fauxmercial, Yossie Frankel as Almighty Mouse and Tuvia Frankel as the announcer. They are both really great sports and I appreciate it!

Lindsay Portnoy: Using Play and Game-Based Learning
Overthrowing Education
05/31/21 • 53 min
My awesome guest on this episode is educator, author, and lovely, charming human being Lindsay Portnoy who joins me today to talk about why playing games, and playing in general are the best way to learn and how to incorporate games and play into any subject or grade. Lindsay has so many inspiring and wise approaches to education and we really geek out together on this favorite topic for both of us. As for the 5-Minute game show, Lindsay racks up lots of imaginary points as she slays it!
And speaking of slaying, don’t forget to listen to the hilarious live radio drama that I’m in called The Last Day of School, which I also helped write with some really funny education podcasters. It’s all a part of Edupodlooza on June 27th. Follow me on Twitter @overthrowinged and/or @Batshevafrankel, because I will be tweeting all about it.
Thank you so much to Lyndsay Portnoy and also to Yossie Frankel, the deep voice that joined me on the Edugamara fauxmercial.

Aviva Levin: Transparency in Teaching Matters
Overthrowing Education
06/13/21 • 54 min
My guest is educator and podcast host of Lesson Impossible, Aviva Levin, who joins me to discuss why teacher transparency is so important, and how to make it happen. The Bonus of this episode is that we also include a little bit about how to incorporate improvisation games into your classes. Both Aviva and I have performed and taught improv, so I surprised her with an improv twist to The 5-Minute Game Show. And then she turns the table on me!
Aviva and I co-wrote and performed the fauxmercial for this episode. It was a blast to do. And she and I co-wrote a hilarious radio comedy with a group of really funny Ed podcasters for Edupodlooza that we are performing live on June 27th. Check back for links on how to watch or follow me on Twitter: @Overthrowing Ed or @BatshevaFrankel.
