Very informative

“I find your podcast very informative. I’m a retired professional, from a medical discipline, but I’m enrolled in a few graduate courses in Education. My initial opinion of the Education dept. (and US college education) is very disappointing, my textbook is academic jargon (Herrera S.), and I’m not the personality for the new, flipped class, peer group discussion, and online new learning. A good lecture from a prof. still dazzles me. I had to add an extra book along with our required text, one by a British expert. Also, I use the online database to access the bibliographic references. In short, I’m putting in at least three times more work in my courses to get the same grade. At my age an A is Monopoly money. But I’d like to learn something so I can instruct. If not I’d like to get back to studying my interests. I find your podcasts worthwhile listening.
I have listened to some of your podcasts & learned a bit about what teaching is about. Our text’s authors quote highly of Jensen’s Brain learning so I really enjoyed your two critiques. I studied a lot of basic physiology from fascinating texts & professors; and I was skeptical that one can be a better teacher by looking at a student’s MRI. Especially when the professor fills the pages with academic jargonolgy. A Required text that’s a waste of time & money. Keep up your good work and the good books.
One constructive recommendation for the podcast, the discourse seems jumpy, goes off on tangents, such that at times I’m tempted to fast forward. I don’t know if you start with an outline, if not I think it would help to stay on track, and if yes, maybe it should be followed with more attention, or rehearsal.
All in all, I feel I learn much to supplement my coursework from your podcasts. Thank you!
Since I’m not from a pedagogic disciple, your podcasts are a good survey for me of the life of a teacher. I have been a life long student and evaluated teaching from the user side.
Also I enjoyed your podcast on cognitive learning, which helped me on “my tangentials”, my searches that interested me while doing a chapter on assessment/s, That podcast helped me understand the long term memory and schema in learning, & the chess analogy. Very good for a novice like me.
FYI: One interesting discovery in my tangential escapes for a reflective paper on Lozanov’s Suggestology” was the English educator Harriet Findlay-Johnson & “ The Dramatic Method of Teaching.” I found her fascinating.
Other tangential interests for my interests while I escape my poorly written academic jargon-text: have you done any on the Montessori method, Piaget vs Vygotsky, meta cognitive techniques, reflective learning?
With your strong math & computer knowledge can you illuminate us of the work by Harold Pashler?
Stay well and God bless.
Best regards!”

“I thought this was going to be a very good podcast. I really liked the concept of discussing theory of education vs other education podcasts that just invite a different “expert” on every show (it’s always a teacher that quit teaching and decided to write a book or a blog on how to be a better...”Read full review »

“It is amazing to have such a balanced review of what might be termed the alternative side of education. There are such a range of ideas and approaches that would otherwise be known by very few people. I think that educationalists need to be aware of as much of the sphere as possible and this...”Read full review »
