Episode 1: April 2009

Wow. We got all excited about the first episode and went on talking for a while! We'll try to keep future episodes under an hour. First Anna, Rachel and Jason have a chat about how we ended up in the library classroom and what we think about that. Anna discusses the Cephalonian Method and Rachel talks about Critical Evaluation Family Feud, two active learning activities, and Jason interviews library consultant and author Beth Gallaway about gaming as a teaching tool.

    Great podcast! Looking forward to future episodes. One topic I have a great interest in (although it may not interest many others) is synchronous instruction for distance learners (e.g. is it possible to be a "guide on the side" in that kind of environment, online gaming in distance instruction, technologies for delivery, instruction issues w/ adult learners vs. trad. college-age learners, etc.).

    Great to have an instruction specific show on the podcast airwaves. You should tap Lauren Pressley who is fantastic in North Carollina and Nini Beegen from Maryland's State Library Office specifically around instructional design.

    And Jason thanks for the shoutout. We love talking instructional development and would love it if any or all of you came on T is for Training when time permits.

    I also put your podcast on our podcasts we like links.

    Listened and loved the show. Agree with you about recording and videoing. It is hard but it is the single best thing you can do to improve your skills as a presenter. Keep up the great work!
