Partial Credit Endgame - PC028 Apr 29, 2019

Jennifer Cronk joins the Partial Avengers for a discussion about the best superhero teachers!

Students who are skilled in the educational uses of technology are more prepared to meet the demands of the 21st Century. It is imperative that technology education does not happen separately from academic curricula, but interweaves it and becomes a visible and implied component. When used correctly, technology will bring the conversation beyond the classroom walls into a more dynamic global forum.

Ideally, technology becomes a medium by which students become reflective learners who gain invaluable experience by publishing for a real audience. Technology in its best use supports and strengthens pedagogy. A student in today's world is not simply watching their "digital footprints", they are actively engaged in positive personal branding.

Superhero Draft:

Donnie - Superman (admin) Jenn - T’Challa (admin) Jeff - Luke Cage (teacher) Jesse - Professor X (admin) Jesse - Professor Hulk (teacher) Jeff - Dr. Strange (FLEX) Jenn - Iron Man (teacher) Donnie - Batman (teacher) Donnie - Wonder Woman (teacher) Jenn - Goose the Cat (FLEX) Jeff - Captain Marvel (teacher) Jesse - Spiderman (teacher) Jesse - Captain America (FLEX) Jeff - Black Lightning (Admin) Jenn - Quicksilver (teacher) Donnie - Stan Lee (FLEX)

First off, we're pleased to announce our partnership with StrongbadMusic, Vandaley Industries, and Hawgit Edu: three real and totally not made up game-changers in the world of music, pop-culture, and education. You should check them out.

In this week's episode, we also have a few HUGE announcements we'd like to make to the world*:

'Teachers'' are called that because they teach students.
The Harry Potter books get their name from their main character whose name is ''Harry Potter''.
Tom Waits is the name of a musician, not a patient man named Tom.
There are more people alive now than when there were fewer people.
The Edge is not actually an edge, but a three-dimensional human being.
The page number in a book denotes the number of the page you are on.
Comic book vigilante batman gets his name from being a man who dresses like a bat.
Taylor Swift is the name of a pop-singer, not a comment on the speed of a girl named Taylor.
''Ford'' is named after the man who founded the company, who was also named ''Ford''
''The Expendables 3'' gets its name from being the 3rd ''Expendables'' film.

*most of these are taken from a buzzFeed article, but they're still HUGE announcements, don't you think?

You won't BELIEVE what happens at time-stamp 48:15:16!

We're hoping you haven't forgotten what day today is...

More Cowbell - PC004 Sep 28, 2018

On this week’s episode, we choose our school/classroom walk-up songs, get judgmental on school rules, share our take on a new segment: hear no evil, see no evil, read no evil, and subject the listeners to yet another useless tool Donnie found online.

Segment 1

Walk up Music

Jesse - Enter Sandman
Jeff - Hell’s Bells
Donnie - Baba O’Riley
Donnie's Wife - This Must Be the Place

Segment 2

Judging School Rules - Jeff moderates two random people to get their perspective on chewing gum in schools.

Jesse - Anti-gum because chewing gum in the classroom distracts other students, bubble blowing, loud chewing and or smacking of the gum while chewing. Teachers also find ABC gum under tables or chairs. Besides being gross, it can also become a hygiene problem. But...
- A study from Science Daily Chewing gum helps you coo9ncentrate for longer, study suggests
- Gum Chewing In School Is Good For The Brain
Donnie’s Better Notes -
- Pro-gum
- Keeps kids focused
- Useful as a reward
- Chewing gum helps your memory improve and it also helps you focus while you're studying. Chewing gum helps to relieve stress and relax. Three of the biggest reasons gum is not allowed at school are because teachers think it?s rude, distracting and messy.

Segment 3

Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Read No Evil

Donnie - http://time.com/longform/teaching-in-america/
Jesse - https://mashable.com/article/american-vandal-season-2-review/#v1TlKoPICaqm
