play

12/23/20 • 16 min

This is the final episode in the three episode arc of “Tech the Halls” where I feature my favorite follows. It was a rough one to put together because whatever this non-COVID bug that has been going around was getting me down, but whether it be podcasts, websites, blogs, or videos these pioneering and inspirational educators put it all out there to help better education every day sharing and collaborating with us. I didn’t want to leave 2020 without this quick and reflective episode. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Enjoy some of “My Favorite Follows”. See you in 2021!

As we get ready to head into the holiday season, we take this time to refresh and rejuvenate our spirits and spend time with family. Inevitably, we also use this time to check out some new sources of tech inspiration to prepare for the last half of the year. These shorter episodes I’m calling our “Tech the Halls” Series will highlight a few of my favorite tech apps and tools that I like to use to accent my lessons. Be on the lookout, we will also be launching a companion series on YouTube called “Tech Study: Extra Credit” where we will give you a personal tour from our perspective first hand where you can see the app in session. Be well everyone!

In this episode we discuss observing readiness in our students to learn. We have a special guest, Dr. Lynette Scotese-Wojtila, to talk about observing signs of readiness in our learners. Dr. Scotese-Wojtila co-hosts a bi-weekly podcast on those in the spectrum and others with neurological differences using an approach she coined called The S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Approach(SM). (We’ve linked the podcast and website below.) Dr. Scotese-Wojtila is an Autism specialist, but notes that we all need to be in a state of readiness to learn in our classroom for lessons to truly take hold. It is a great reflective episode as we talk about meeting our students where they learn to provoke in them the best that they have the potential to be. Come learn with us!
