“I was turned on to this podcast from a well-respected colleague who found Jennifer Gonzalez and her content to be a beacon of light during and emerging from trenches of online teaching during the pandemic. This year I took a new position back in the classroom after working with adjudicated youth and adult learners. Jennifer brings a refreshing perspective to many of today’s teaching struggles; technology integration, project-based learning, SEL, curriculum design and much more.
The most memorable podcast I listened to to-date was episode 170- ‘No More Easy Button:A Suggested Approach to Post-Pandemic Teaching’. Gonzalez uses the analogy that we as humans are wired for the ‘easy button’, everything from picking produce that is easiest to prepare and eat, to watching Netflix over reading a book, it’s easier.
The ‘easy button’ refers to how teachers often use resources, lesson materials, and assessments that are easiest for us to grade (think: multiple choice). This doesn’t allow students to demonstrate their learning, it gives them the chance to give a really good guess. By increasing short answer and essay questions, it allows students to display their level of understanding of a concept which allows the teacher to truly understand their depth of knowledge. I subscribe to this philosophy, but I also turn to the ‘easy button’ at times, we all do.
This was just one of the many eye-opening podcasts I listened to over the past few weeks. I have a list of episodes I want to hear, one day at a time 😀”

“A favorite part of my morning and afternoon commute is to check and see if there is a new podcast by Jennifer. I look forward to new episodes like I do for a new novel by my favorite authors. Keep it up, Jennifer!”
