Learn with John Eick Podcast

Last week was my daughters 6th Birthday party and next week is the CapCUE Techfest: Two epic events with more similarities than you may imagine.

I had the opportunity to speak as the closing keynote at the Math and Mindfulness Summit. I was amazed by the content of the conference. 

Sabrina Jackson is the 2017 Westlake Charter Teacher of the Year, and after listening to this podcast, you'll understand why. She believes in kids and makes every effort to set them up for success!

Last week I had the amazing opportunity to chaperone the 6th Grade Science Camp. While I was there, I thought I might capture the sights and sounds of camp, through the voices of our students, parents and staff, who were taking part in this 3 day 2 night learning extravaganza called Science Camp! 

Wandering through Open House, I was blown away by what our kids are able to do.

For Mother's Day I interviewed a pioneer of the Silicon Valley and the inspiration for the Kid Power Club: My mom.

This is just a quick rant on a topic that has made its way around my dinner table. What do you hope your kids get out of school? I'm kind of simple so I tried my best to boil it down to just one thing. 

My friend Tim Bedley and I agreed we would both rant on the same topic this week. Neither of us knows how the other feels about this topic, and we won't know until we both click publish. To read Tim's thoughts, go to www.TimBedley.com, and check out his latest blogpost! 

Sitting in a session by Brian Briggs and Ryan O'Donnell, they ask participants to podcast on the spot. I happen to be sitting next to Pam Hernandez and this is what happened!

In October of 2016, this keynote was captured on video at the CapCue Techfest. This week, my friend Brian Briggs suggested that I upload the audio to inspire the PLN durning their driving commute. For what it is worth, below is the link to the original youtube video, as well as credit to the Sacramento Educational Cable Consortium for the original recording.
