Welcome to the website for The Cool Teacher Podcast, a weekly audio podcast produced and distributed by two VERY cool teachers--Barbara Schroeder and Chris Haskell, from Boise State University. Barbara and Chris are teachers and geeks--constantly on the cutting edge of technology tools for teaching and learning.

Gettingsmart has so many resources. The podcasts are my favorite feature. I'm able to learn on the go!

This is a cloud based music software that I use in my music classroom. Students can create their own music and share it with others. There is a collaboration feature that allows students and teachers to work together on a song. One of my favorite tools is the podcasting feature. My students instead of written summative tests create a series of podcast episodes where they speak about what they have learned, and they can collaborate together and even have guests on their episodes. This podcasting feature is great for students who struggle with writing and are better with speaking.

This podcast features Drs. Schroeder and Haskell, professors at Boise State. They do weekly shows about technology and creative uses for it a K-12 environment.

This blog and podcast focus on issues related to distance education at the K-12 level, specifically the use of virtual and cyber schools. (by Michael Barbour)

Still more information needed to be able to put a good comment here for it.

Dr. Barbour's blog about online and blended learning.

Jennifer Gonzalez does a wonderful job with the blog posts on this site. Not only are they organized into categories but some also have a podcast associated with them.

This blog focuses on three important areas of education as it's central focus: Instruction, Classroom Management, and Technology!

This site, The Cool Cat Teacher, was very appealing to me. There is a great layout of useful information for technology, assessment, lesson plans, etc for multiple grade levels and content areas. This particular podcast stood out to me this week as I'm getting prepared for our Data Team meeting at my school next week. I also found it interesting in our content this week that online learning is perceived to be more individualized. In that case, being able to take data and use it to drive the direction of your classroom learning is very important.
