The True, The Good, The Beautiful, And The Inspiring

A hotly contested Student Government (STUGO) election this year brought out the best in our student body in Sept. 2023. Leaders like Gavin, Ryland, Adrien and Alivia were ready to hit the ground running. So for this episode, I decided to pull them in for this special episode to talk about their ideas and how they will represent the middle school. By the way, three of them are familiar with being in front of a mic - having hosted student podcasts at the end of the year in my class, in 2022. A programming note : This is the final episode of Radio 201, as I transition to a new podcast, ' Wide Angle .' Stay tuned!…

So much goes on in a school, we sometimes take these things for granted. In my class, there's a constant flurry of activity after school in robotics and eSports, besides tutoring, and students popping in to do homework, quizzes, and edit eBooks. And outside these walls, too! So in this episode I wanted to put together a collection of recordings I made, that capture the force field I encounter every day when I open these doors, and carry with me when I leave. Including a snapshot of an amazing speaker I recorded one morning at one of our morning assemblies.…

In this episode, my last podcast for the school year, I invite you to listen to the best student podcasts out of my computer lab. You'll be amazed at the topics and the discussion that ensues. Listen to Xander, Braxton and Anthony discuss social media (they called it "What's wrong with this generation?" ), Josh and his 9th grade brother Adam discuss coding ( "Coding Games" ). Gavin interviews 9th grader Andrew about the airforce program known as 'CAP' ( "A Cadet's guide to CAP" ). Ava and Georgia discuss orchestra ("Symphony Wars") weighing in on leadership issues. Gia and Magnolia discuss historical fiction that they have published as their eBook project in my class ( "Book Talk" ). Emmit was so taken up with history he interviews his favorite teacher, Mr. Greer. These were just a smattering of the 15 podcasts recorded last week! We grownups tend to say that kids say the darndest things. It gets better when we put a mic in front of them! Enjoy!…

Futureproofing Our Students - Episode 41 11:01

Being a teacher, I’ve heard it said all too often — “Schools don’t teach these anymore!” Or that what’s being taught in schools is outdated. In this podcast you'll hear Dave Conelias talk about what school can and should do. Dave, founder of MilestoneC, an organization that helps bridge that gap between the supply (schools) and demand (industry) speaks his mind about the good, the bad, and the overhyped in tech. I asked him to weigh in on AI and other emerging tech since I interviewed him a few days after Google announced it would release its own AI, known as Bard , in an apparent mad rush to compete with all the ChatGPT hype. I wanted to know what aspect of this ‘Generative Pretrained Transformer’ (the GPT part of the ChatGPT) was showing up on his radar. His analogies are fabulous. It was so good I took out my interjections in the interview (by the way, this podcast goes through some heavy duty editing to tighten things up), so as to keep it to just around 11 minutes. If you're a student, this will give you some useful context. If you're a parent or a not-tech person, I hope this addresses some of the questions you probably have. Enjoy!…

If software is so biased, why do we put up with it? - Episode 40 18:08

In my 40th podcast, I wanted to try out a new way to record it with a remote guest: Podcastle. It's a web-based platform that records multiple voices - a bit like Zoom. My guest, was Don Wilde, a software engineer and entrepreneur who once worked at Intel. Don helped me with my Robotics team many years ago. His insights into software and technology through the years has been truly inspiring. In this podcast, we talk about the inherent bias in software that doesn't happen by accident. The discussion is particularly important to us as we unpack that can of worms we call AI, and the data sets that are being used to train the software. Machines do learn from machines, but the 'data' (images, words, values etc) we feed into these machines will influence what we get out of them. The old adage, 'garbage in, garbage out' has become relevant again. Bias in, Bias out , so to speak.…

Mistakes Happen - So What? - Episode 33 7:00

hace 2 years7:00

7:00

This short episode is based on a recording of a talk by dance teacher Melanie Ellis, who spoke to our students during our morning assembly, Opening Ceremony at Benjamin Franklin High School. Ellis draws on an anecdote culled from from construction, from the book, " ⁠The Anatomy of Peace⁠ ," to explore what it means to gain wisdom through mistakes. The idea of having 'to justify' something has two dimensions. The first, which comes from construction, is about making something right. To justify or fix a wall, that is crooked. The second, is what we sometimes resort to when we wiggle out of a problem - using a justification not in keeping with our character. This point nicely dovetailed with the quote of the week, from Marcel Proust, "We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us."…

It's about two months since AI apps sprayed their pixie dust all across the Internet. The impact of AI on education --and all content -- is a reality we must face. So I wanted to check things out and run these apps through some testing. I wanted to check my own biases, too, and get to know what it content will look like. I put ChatGPT through several tests, and also the design app, Dall.E. In this podcast I explain how these panned out, and how we teachers are approaching this new wave. For now at least I have come to the conclusion that Content creators of the world — authors, journalists, copywriters, podcasters — shouldn’t feel threatened. But as one expert I heard explain, while we are peering into the machine's 'intelligence' --while we are testing these out - we are actually being lured into being the beta testers of the machines!…

Over the past five years, my computer class has expanded into so many other areas that I I sometimes wonder if it should be rebranded as a Communications class. This struck me as I was grading my finals this week, wrapping things up. With about 125 students across six classes my time seems to be devoted to (a) Reading and analyzing their eBooks (b) Mixing down and uploading their class podcasts (c) Planning a photography 101 class for the last day of school. That, in addition to teaching keyboarding, and discussing relevant news each week whether it’s cybersecurity or crypto or the latest development in Google 'Moonshot Factory.' Or the usual social media’s hiccups that week that turns into a ‘teachable moment.’ In this podcast you'll hear clips from selected student podcasts hosted here in the Computer Lab in the week before finals. These podcasts covered topics such as: Screen Time, History, Global pollution, Books, Secrets Of The Amazon, Symphony Wars, 'Is Dance a Sport?', one called 'Economics Breakdown,' one on J.K. Rowling’s Genius, a review of The Black Widow, Lucid Akinator, Wrestling, a Game-show, one about the Rubik’s Craze, and some on school culture --the Charger Lifestyle- and Sports.

"Your Voices, Your Talent" - Special Guests - Episode 35 16:32

hace 3 years16:32

16:32

This podcast was recorded before a live audience in the gym during 'Opening Ceremony,' our morning assembly. It was a first for me, to record a 'live' show. I asked Jessica Keaster to co-host it with me because of two special guests on this show: Reina Ley and Landon Madsen . Reina was on NBC's The Voice , earlier this month (Sept 2022). Also this month, Landon performed at our talent show, Franklin's Got Talent , and won third place. Both performances revealed something about all our students - the often unspoken talent rushing these hallways, juggling between classes and athletic events, and practicing their 'art' whenever they can. Mrs. Keaster and I have had the privilege of having you students in our classes, so this podcast is our way of celebrating your achievements, with the hope it inspires others at Benjamin Franklin High School! This podcast also served as an assignment for students in my zero-hour elective, Writing and Publishing in the Digital Age . They set up the cameras, and mics, and will be using this event for an upcoming 'story.' Getting the audio right in a large space like a gymnasium is tricky, to say the least. But I love the challenge. After all, this podcast, produced in the Computer Lab, a place where we experiment! Notes: When Reina Ley performed on The Voice , judges Gwen Stefani and Camila Cabello competed to have her on their team. I included a clip from that event here because it gives listeners better context as to why this was a momentous event. Audio for parts of this podcast were taken from the video camera feed, and from my back-up podcasting recorder, a ZoomH4N Pro . If you sense a change in quality, that's why. It's quite an interesting challenge editing three feeds. Audio feeds from two mics through were piped through an audio interface called the Scarlet Focusrite.

What could Steve Jobs, the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, and Voting have in common? You'd be surprised! My guest on this show is Steve Niemeyer, a math teacher at Benjamin Franklin High School. He recently conducted an impromptu 'experiment' at our morning assembly that he hosted. Mr. Niemeyer demonstrated how a very small percentage of people end up making decisions on behalf of the majority, especially if the majority is apathetic, doesn't voice their opinion, or exercise their civic right. The larger point was to inspire young people to expand their circle of influence. There's a wonderful anecdote about how Steve Jobs used to do this with his employees - a story I learned this from a guest speaker in my class who had worked at Apple. As for that law of thermodynamics, you've got to listen how only a math teacher could put it in context!…

How many borders have you crossed? Author Salman Rushdie, who was brutally attacked on stage earlier this month, knows a lot about borders. His books explore the concept of borders; he’s lived them. He often reminded us that we don’t simply cross borders; sometimes the border crosses us. I know a thing about borders. On a train, crossing from Germany to Czechoslovakia, stopped by heavily armed border guards. In Northern Ireland...But what about borders that are not just geographical lines in the sand? In this episode I explore what happens when we cross those fine, and sometimes blurry lines. At school in our daily morning assembly --what we call ‘Opening Ceremony’ --our hosts often bring up topics like this. Topics of inclusiveness; why “Everybody counts, or nobody counts.” And why instead of borders we draw around ourselves, we should be expanding our 'circles' of influence.…

In a classical school, fine arts is often seen as the icing on the cake, especially here at Benjamin Franklin High School. Our music program attracts thousands of people, especially this year, with our a new Franklin Center For The Performance Arts. This podcast looks at how the music and theater program come together as a 'fine art.' Specifically, I dropped in on one of Mrs. Haylee Otero's classes as she put together the annual choir concert. It was just a few weeks after the musical, Bye Bye Birdie , with a cast of more than seventy-five. You'll hear how teaching takes place on stage, which is obviously a very different environment from a classroom. (When the sage is literally off the stage!) I also asked her about how she manages the logistics of a production: From choreography and props, to lighting, and sound ..the period costumes, and making sure the wireless mics come through! She has talented, passionate colleagues, the Boosters, and of course dedicated students. "It's a very, organic, creative process," says Otero. "At a certain point you hand it off to the students, and it no longer becomes my material." Hopefully, you get to peek under the hood of 'musical theater' at its best. Enjoy!…

This was a few weeks before the war in Ukraine broke out. So for my Writing and Publishing class at Benjamin Franklin High School , I got my students to pay closer attention to how process the war. What does war mean to us as writers, but also as media consumers. We are no longer --and cannot be -- bystanders in world events. I talk of how other storytellers have helped us put wars into context. Cartoonists, for example. Some of these cartoonists even children will recognize! At the time of recording this, we had just begun to read how young people write about the war, specifically writers from Ukraine. Little did we know that in two weeks we would be talking to one writer, a student who had fled Kiev. You could read about this here on my post on Medium.com .…

Jargon and gobbledygook plagues our language. In this podcast Angelo Fernando, who teaches " Writing and Publishing In The Digital Age " talks of some great role models for writers, and how to pay attention to language. In a computer and technology class we can't escape terms such as 'cloud computing,' data mining, KPIs, wireframes.. even those arcane acronyms such as DNS, KPIs, and CTRs. Do you catch yourself dropping bits of jargon in your conversation? or do you roll your eyes when someone does? How does this affect how we communicate? Students write term papers, critical analyses, argue on topics from Milton to Mendel. A writing and publishing class at Benjamin Franklin High School addresses not just blog posts, presentations, and podcasts but how language needs to be adapted to the medium, the platform and the audience. George Orwell said it best about using (or mangling) the english language in "Politics and the english language." But you'll have to listen to this podcast for this and more. Enjoy!…

"Why New Tech Can't Leave Old Tech Behind," With guest Evo Terra 12:24

If you look around you, many features of new technology borrow --or steal - from old technologies. Email is a classic example. It's icons and methods are leftovers from this. The envelope, and the paperclip for example. In other apps, the Floppy disc is the standard icon when it comes to saving something. In my class on Writing and Publishing, we still use notebooks, pen and paper, even though the class is computer lab. In this podcast, my guest Evo Terra, a veteran podcaster, talks about how important it is to "grab a pen and paper" before you grab the microphone. Also, how meticulous he is about editing the content. Evo is quite a legend. A Phoenix-based writer and a podcaster, he literally wrote the book on podcasting. Podcasting for Dummies - one of the first editions. His advice to us as writers, bloggers and podcasters could be taken by anyone planning to move between platforms. "I don't re-record my audio," he says, "because I've because I spend so much time on the outline." Maybe you might be someone who doesn't need to write things down on the back of an envelope.

Cybersecurity, to simplify it a bit, is all about the good guys (or white hats) going after the bad guys. Actually, the industry calls them Bad Actors. Actors? For guys who could bring down airplanes, or cripple a city’s power grid, that's an odd label. But it’s a real thing. If you’ve heard of cyber intruders hacking, say, a webcam in a child’s bedroom, or the term Zoombombing (where someone could crash a Zoom conference call, or take control of the microphone) then you would be thankful that there is such a field as cybersecurity. People who look out for these ‘bad actors’ 247. It’s quickly become a college level class.

100 eBooks in 5 Weeks 10:25

hace 3 years10:25

10:25

This semester, my Junior High students produced more than a hundred eBooks, and published them on the eBook site, Flipsnack. You can find them here . They came up with their own titles. Though they were free to choose any genre, any subject, there was a wide variety of non-fiction this year. Let me give you some context: The eBook project is their capstone project to prove that they understand the applications, and their common document formatting features. By that I mean layout, design, fonts, margins, white space, line spacing, avoiding widows and orphans, and using all those nitty gritty features found on the ribbon of Google docs, Microsoft Word, Google Slides and PowerPoint. The book is created in Google Slides - which seems an odd way to format a book, right? Well, with a few simple tweaks it's quite a malleable application. When you see the finished product ( like this one ), they bear no resemblance to a slide deck! And if you're wondering wondering why we 'publish' eBooks in a computer class, let me put it this way. Sure, my students are required to learn touch-typing and improve their speed and accuracy. We do this each week. But toward the end of the semester I tell them (half in jest) that they were tricked into believing they signed up for a Computer Class - when in fact they walked into a Communications Class that happened to have computers. Not the other way around. The purpose of ‘learning’ computers is to help them master much more than mechanical skills. It's to communicate better. Whether it is learning to code, making stunning presentations, manipulating images in Photoshop, designing a website (all of which they in fact do here in the computer lab), or crank out term papers for other classes, the goal is always communication. They must learn to communicate effectively with a teacher, an audience, a customer, an organization. You get the idea. Enjoy the podcast!…

Don Meyer is a man of many parts. In his youth he grabbed his a guitar and lugged along his Bridgestone mountain bike to spend time in Europe. His plan? To spend a year in Italy. Working on his Master’s degree he felt the tug of renaissance literature — John Webster and Shakespeare in particular. “I just wondered,” he says, “why Italy in particular, held such sway in renaissance literature.” He had noticed that so many playwrights in England used Italian plots, characters, and settings and it piqued his curiosity even more. He just had to immerse himself in this! His passion for the romance languages let him dig deeper into literature and connect the dots between cultures and language. And so fast forward to 2021, with 29 years of teaching under his belt, Don Meyer's literature class, whether it is focused on Dante’s Inferno or Macbeth, draws on this his ‘teacher training’ — much of it on wheels, so to speak. I stumbled into this conversation over a cup of coffee. With an espresso maker at his desk, he is quite the barista! In this podcast I talk to him about all this and, just like a bike ride that allows for a random detour down a road not found on Google maps, we make a foray into C.S. Lewis and his ‘prophetic’ insights into life today with so many friction points in democracy and social media. Don’s analysis of Lewis’s work from The Screwtape Letters to his science fiction novels like Out of the Silent Planet is priceless. As a teacher, and as a writer, I have come to realize that the act of podcasting is much more than an ‘interview’ or a conversation. It gives me access to deeper, richer, and even random insights I couldn’t get from a TED Talk or any other social media channel. The mic is just another piece of hardware. But it has an uncanny way of allowing ideas to bubble up.…

United Nations of Spotify 19:09

Sweden’s major export for me was always ABBA. Until Ikea came along. Now Spotify steals the limelight. Sweden’s major export! It’s a service that’s in just 23 countries shy of the United Nations. Its 2,000 plus employees are in 16 countries - they speak 21 languages -. But unlike other foreign-born apps that landed on our phones (Tik-Tok, for instance) Spotify brings with it the company’s defining values: collaboration and fun! It’s very different from the cultural DNA of, say, iTunes, or Pandora. I discovered this when I listened to our guest speaker in my class, Spotify’s VP or global customer service, Rajiv Vellodi. This was in the week when Abba announced it was making a comeback after 40 years , and data privacy was being closely scrutinized by Congress. So naturally the talk came back to privacy and user data. Mr. Vellodi talked about personalization that is the hallmark of Spotify. Since personalization and privacy are two sides of the same coin, students asked the tough questions. “What do you do with our data?” one student asked. “How do you get to use copywriter music?” another asked. Do you cut deals with artists?” Mr. Vellodi addressed these head on. “We are a European company, and are subject to European data protection laws,” he said, referring to GDPR, the General Data Protection Regulation that came into force in 2018 . “We handle about a million contacts a month -- not including ten million visitors on the support site, and the four million who post 20,000 times a month,” he said referring to the scale of the operation. Indeed, building a fun experience can be serious business. Students had other questions about sharing music across other applications, and content moderation. How does Spotify filter content that is inappropriate? Mr. Vellodi’s on-point talk of Spotify’s stringent approach to content moderation using human moderators and AI, reminded me about the recently leaked evidence of how Facebook pays little attention to this. It was indeed a good week to hear a Big Tech company like this!…
