Book Review Pod Casts

First, I just want to say thank you for helping me develop my summer reading list. It was amazing to see how the different podcasts were. Some of use added music or used powerpoint which was extremely interesting. 

When listening to pod casts I have to say I think Hamlet's Blackberry  will be at the top of the list. I was very engaged by the digital maxiumists theory. I am probably a minimalist in my family my mom, and both my sisters have Blackberries. Everywhere they go they are connected. It has been a choice not to always be connected. 

I was also liked the book Why Don't Student Like School?. I think this is a question we all would like to answer.  I enjoyed the fact that the author talked about teaching though stories. It has always been something I try and get my students to do I like to engage them in story telling.  It was also interesting how the author suggested that all people learn the same way. I want to see where the author was going with that.

  1. I agree with you about a summer reading list. I am going to go back to Week #7 and add all the books that were read this semester that weren't already on the list...so you will have it all in one place.

    Thanks Tina and everyone else for great podcasts!
