@TisForTraining 316: Dust On Your Feet

On the call were T regulars – Maurice Coleman, Angie Fickert Paterek, Paul Signorelli, and Tom Haymes – along with Imani Dlamini and Tula Dlamini (both in South Africa) and Lisa Koster (Canada). Lisa, Imani, Tula, Tom, and Paul led us in a discussion on how ShapingEDU has been capturing “what we have seen teacher-trainer-learners do in response to the coronavirus pandemic.” They talked about the concept behind the project, how they are gathering information, and how they want to disseminate the results. And yes…we talked about what the interviews have taught them!

Thanks to Imani and Tula for joining us at 3 a.m. South Africa Standard Time!

You can listen to this excellent episode at TalkShoe and wherever you get your podcasts.

@TisForTraining 315: Whip Out Your Flame Thrower

On the “call” were Maurice Coleman, Angie Fickert Paterek, Paul Signorelli, Clark Quinn, Tom Haymes, and Jill Hurst-Wahl. (Great to have Angie back after a long absence!) The topic this week was conferences. Yes, we have ventured to conference in-person and online, and wanted to share our thoughts about them.

Since these notes are minimal, be sure to listen to the entire episode for the details and wisdom.
