Batsheva Frankel Wraps it Up This is kind of a bittersweet episode for me. I was blessed to get the job of my dreams, and I couldnโ€™t be happier, but it means Iโ€™ll be wrapping things up for this podcast. After 4 amazing years,...

After 4 years, over 120 amazing guests, 100 commercial parodies, 100 The 5-Minute Game Shows, and more, I've published my last new Overthrowing Education episode. Give a listen, and then go back and hear episodes you missed. https://tinyurl.com/OEWrapsUp

Ungrading is something I canโ€™t recommend highly enough! I do it with HS physics and students develop a deeper understanding with almost no anxiety. Overwhelmingly positive feedback from Ss. Only wish Iโ€™d started sooner in my career!

#Edusky An important change we can make in ed. is to ungrade/go gradeless. If you aren't familiar with it or are thinking about trying it, here are some eps of the Overthrowing Education podcast that can help educators understand why & how. See comments for more eps. https://tinyurl.com/GradeSlayer

I used it every class for in class flipped learning. It allowed all the students to work at their own pace and work with me one-to-one or in small groups.
Nothing else seemed to work as well.

There are so many ways! I'll highlight the most recent: I was asked to take a HS English class at the end of March that was known to be unruly, and many different skills levels. I used Edpuzzle in a way I hadn't before, and it was super helpful. #EDUsky

I look forward to listening. I think humor is really important. My latest episode is all about the importance of humor with Mr D. Also, I start every episode with a commercial parody for fake ed products we wish were real.
