Why do Teachers Teach?
Inaugural Episode - Why did I become a teacher?
Season 1, Ep. 1
•
On this first official podcast episode we will delve into why I became a teacher and why anyone really becomes a teacher. Is it for the money, for the fame, for the ability to mold young people's minds, or is it just an easy way out as a career and college choice? I don't know everyone's reasoning, just mine and some of friends reasonings, which I will share with you in this episode.
Next episode we will cover students perspectives on what they really want from teachers.

4. What one student has to say....
10:59||Season 1, Ep. 4In this episode I chat with a senior-to-be in high school. We discuss his favorite fish, insect, and arachnid among other animals. During this discussion we get into how to invoke this kind of emotion in the classroom. How do we as teachers get students to open up and express, with enthusiasm, things they want to learn, and maybe even things they don't want to learn. What are trigger words to some students (presentation) and what can you use instead to get the same results.3. Digital Ethics vs Online Reputations - how do they affect education?
13:04||Season 1, Ep. 3What is digital ethics? What is online reputation? How do teacher navigate both digital ethics and maintain an online reputation while increasing their online presence? Schools are asking teachers to include more information on social media and give access to more people so parents and the community can become involved in student learning. This episode will cover what those terms means and my perspective as both a teacher and a parent. I will also ask my children (both students) how they feel about what is covered in school on the subject.1. Desert Biomes Introduction - Just a sneak peak at what this podcast will be like
