Education with SOLE

Our new show is up and running. In it, we discuss Sugata Mitra's TED talk, which focuses on self organized teaching situations. The episode, which is called Education with SOLE, also includes a new segment at the very end called "Mark's Minute"...make sure to stick around for that.

The Pandora Classroom

Our next episode is up and available to download. In this episode, we discuss the Freakonomics podcast episode entitled, How Is A Bad Radio Station Like Our Public-School System. Take a listen to the podcast on their website (and become a regular listener, I'm a big fan), and then take a listen to our own episode entitled The Pandora Classroom. It sparked some interesting discussion - anything that causes Simon to rant as much as he does in this episode is worth the time.
