It is hard to believe that we have completed 2 seasons of the METC Podcast! Can't think of a better way to close out season 2. Mike McCann and I discuss my second favorite Google Tool, Google Keep!  Keep is an amazing tool and if you are not using it, you should check it out for sure!

There were two Twitter Challenges within this episode! Share your answers using #METCpodcast for an opportunity for some of our new Podcast stickers!

Challenge 1 - What is @jleetechpercent's #1 favorite Google tool?

Challenge 2 - How are you using Google Keep? Either within the classroom setting or personally. Not using Google Keep? Share how you would like to begin using it.

We will be back next week (not in two weeks like originally thought) with episode 58 and the first episode of season 3!

Thank you for checking out this episode. Connect with Mike and myself on Twitter.

In this episode of the METC Podcast, I talk with another #METC19 Spotlight Educator. Vicki Mikow is a Gifted Ed and STEM teacher in the Fox School district. She has been teaching for 14 years and we talked about the importance in cultivating curiosity. Vicki shares a few of the fun projects her students have worked on and used “real math” as her students have been known to put it. The culture and climate within Vicki’s classes also plays a vital role in her ability to bring out the curiosity within her students. Vicki is not afraid to try new things alongside her students. She is models her own curiosity for her students everyday.  Be sure to connect with Vicki on Twitter or reach out to her via e-mail.

How are you cultivating curiosity? Share your ideas with us on Twitter using the #METCpodcast.
