I chose to subscribe to this podcast because he seems to share many of my views on education. In addition, he understands the importance of educational media and often discusses their roles in the classroom. I saw this as a way to gain another perspective on the information that we are learning from this course.
Moving at the Speed of Creativity by Wesley A. Fryer
“CCSS, TLE, Virtual School, and Education Reform Update”
This podcast follows Wesley A. Fryer and highlights his opinions and ideas surrounding current events in education. He is an educator and a coach and works with students as well as teachers to help them utilize technology in school. This week’s podcast included his feelings on the way that student performance is being directly linked to teacher performance to determine their effectiveness. The way teachers are being evaluated is changing in his area (OK), just like how things are changing here in Michigan.
Another topic of discussion during this podcast was his opinion on open licensing when it comes to educational resources. He made several great points of how it would be extremely beneficial to take advantage of open licensing to make text, curriculum and teaching resources available to anyone looking to utilize it.
