We're joined by Dr. Charles Illingworth (Will's big brother) to talk about how in the heck they managed to continue teaching acupuncture during the pandemic. Join us for a few laughs, some awesome stories (stay tuned for Moonlighting as a Photobooth Operator), and insights into a fascinating field of study. Dr. Illingworth leaves us with A Manual of Acupuncture as an example of apps that meet the need for niche fields. For more on our conversation, check out the episode page here.

We are joined by Justin Phillips, Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs at Pennsylvania College of Art and Design. Justin and Will met over a bagel, and the rest was history! Listen to Justin's story about pivoting into the pandemic and learning tremendous lessons about how to reach students across barriers: whether they're technological or learning interferences. He leaves us with the wonderful tool, Google Jamboard, as an example of one that's helped him teach art online and even impacted his personal practice.

Part one of a two part conversation on motivation. This episode focuses on underlying motivation theories as well as the relationship between motivation and emotions. We hope you find it motivating.

That's right, folks! We're tackling the hot topic of OpenAI's ChatGPT. What is a chat bot? Are these things new? Why does everyone care so much? We answer these questions and more as we reminisce about SmarterChild, address the issue of plagiarism, and hope for a better world. And then, we dig into Diigo, the educationally-centered bookmarking and organization tool. This app will bring your classroom together around portfolio activities, shared knowledge corpuses (corpi?),  and data sharing. For more on our conversation, check out the episode page here.

Season 3 kicks off with a philosophical chat on technology. Why do we use it? How should we use it? Is it good for learning? Lots of fun. Then, we end the episode out with a chat on Code.org. This platform is built to help people learn how to code. It has instructional resources and a system for learners to get going by themselves.

Join us as we close out season two! In this episode, we tackle the age-old (well, most recently old aged) issue of phones in the classroom. Should we keep them? What's their purpose? How do we do it if if we do it? Were cell phones easier than today's smart phones? After the conversation, Josh offers up Snipd as a podcasting tool du jour. It will clip and save anything from your favorite podcasts into your knowledge management solution. For more on our conversation, check out the episode page here.

This week we put big publishers on the burner. Things get a little heated as we let'm have it. Yes, they have their redeeming elements, but big publishers have pushed Will and Josh's buttons one too many times. After the roast, we talk about Topia, an interactive video communication platform.
