Dr. E's SUPER reads

Jon Harper (@jonharper70bd) hosts a podcast o the BAM radio network that focuses on educators from all walks of life around the country that focuses on how major mistake was made, what lessons were learned, and how they have moved onward. Jon took 24 of the most powerful stories and expanded on them in his book. Awkward and uncomfortable to read at some points, refreshing at others.

Alice Keeler (@alicekeeler) and Christine Pinto (@pintobeanz11) collaborated on a book that focuses on Google Apps for Education for the youngest of learners.  

No, this isn’t about some HGTV makeover or a Lowe’s Catalog. This is about designing an educational learning space that is both student-friendly and conducive to learning. Follow the author, Dr. Robert Dillon (yes, Bob Dylan) at @ideaguy42 — I think you know how to follow me🤘.

Classroom observations can be dog-and-pony shows and used as weapons... or they could be meaningful and provide an opportunity for dialogue and growth.  An Illinois Superintendent decided to take home every formal observation and read them.  Insane?  Genius?  Both?  He wrote a book about it...and a damn good one at that.  Here about it in this episode.

Have you heard of HyperDocs? Heard of it but have no idea how to use or where to start?  Take a listen to see if it's for your lessons or staff meetings.

This book, a lightening rod of controversy, was published in 1969. Authors Neil Postman and a Charles Weingarten leave no stone unturned and don’t sugarcoat when it comes to learning for today’s times. All of what was written in 1969 applies to 2019.

This episode focuses on one of the most important pieces of the education puzzle — parents. The book (published by Corwin and available on Amazon) delves into the types of parents a teacher may come across and strategies do continue to move onward in the school year.
