Rumors

You Can’t Handle the Truth!

One of our highly acclaimed segments– You Can’t Handle the Truth! Here’s how it works. During the first segment of our program, each of our guests reads a rumor related to our show topic. Then it’s up to our guests and listeners to vote on which rumor is the most likely to occur! The audience submits their answers on Twitter and Blog Talk Radio. The host shares the results of the segment at the end of the show. Join the discussion and subscribe today!

Privacy, Anonymity, and Instruction– May 20th, 2014

The May show truth is outlined below! We do not have a link because we’d hate to share the actual recording! All three guests were stumped, did you guess correctly?

From the Mouths of Babes

Blended learning offers a rich variety of experiences through which students can engage with the content and  understand different perspectives. This approach is particularly helpful for elementary educators who are used to providing a wide variety of activities for their students. Integrating technology into that experience can be challenging for some. One teacher at an elementary school in Washington state found a great way to integrate technology with hand drawn art. As part of a Children’s Art Walk in the city’s center, the teacher had students create paper mosaics of a flower in a pot. The technology component was the use of a QR code where those who attended the show could listen to an audio recoding of the student describing their art work. A few people stood around scanning QR codes and enjoying the young fourth grade artist’s description. One recording, however, made those looking at the show stop and think. This particular child started their description with their full name, first, middle, and last, precise birthday, and where they live. He also gave his parent’s name, occupation, and place of work. It became clear that something as innocent as an art show could easily expose a naive child to loss of privacy.
