  • Thumbs Up👍

    I enjoyed this episode quite a bit. It has me thinking of ways to incorporate sketching in my ELA block (CKLA). I wish I would have used this when studying vertebrates earlier this year. I also like the length of these podcasts. ~20 minutes is a perfect length for me.

  • Sketching is a life changer

    I am a little biased as the person being interviewed on the show but I am so excited to be able to share my passion with such a committed audience of talented teachers.

    If I can get one person to pick up the habit of s... more

  • An Invaluable Resource, No Matter How Long You’ve Been in Education!

    Sometimes you just need to hear a variety of strategies & a new way to hear ideas. As a life-long learner & educator, I loved that the content was relatable, meaningful & varied in perspective. Even as a veteran educator, there is something to try for everyone. Also, I loved the length of the episode. It is short enough to be able to listen to on your commute, but long enough to get to the heart of an idea.
