E1. From Hilltop Hoods to Higher Ed: Why Silence Matters in Teaching
Disclaimer:
This episode was generated using AI narration via Google Notebook LM. It is based on and produced from the full article published on the Echoes of Learning and Teaching blog.
🎧 Episode 1: “Why Silence Matters in Teaching”
In our inaugural episode, we draw from the post “From Hilltop Hoods to Higher Ed: Why Silence Matters in Teaching.”
We explore how a simple three-second pause after asking a question in class can radically shift student participation, deepen responses, and reshape teaching presence. Inspired by a moment in a Hilltop Hoods track — where deliberate silence made me stop and listen — this episode unpacks how that same pause can create space for reflection and connection in higher education.
What happens when we lean into silence instead of rushing past it? How might it open room for students — especially those who hesitate — to engage more deeply? And how could waiting, just a little longer, signal that their thinking matters?
This episode is crafted entirely using AI narration and produced from the full article linked below.
