When I was in San Fransisco receiving the Totally Wired Teacher Award this past summer, I had the pleasure of meeting Aseem Badshah of Scriptovia.com. He is the most articulate young visionary that I have seen for education in the coming years. I talk more about the experience of hearing him talk here. Needless to say, his words and ideas need to be heard by a large majority of our teachers and educational pundits.
I also want as many Aseems in my classes as possible. How do we make that part happen as well?
Kevin Honeycutt challenges me to be a better learner, teacher, and thinker. I am always interested in where his spiraling mind is going to go next. In this podcast, we discuss the future of professional development as well as the future of schools. The Last chapter of the podcast is dedicated to Kevin’s engaging idea of modeling schools after theater stages. Although the ideas are not fully ripe yet, they have a lot of potential. Please drop me or Kevin a line if you are interested in developing any of our discussion and debate into something more concrete. Also, listen to his podcast. It will challenge you too.
