Teaching from the Island: Recent Episodes
Sarah & Melodi Sterner
Two science teachers broadcast their adventures in teaching online from their (granite countertop) island.
Mrs. Sterner and Mrs. Sterner return to the "island" to revive our online teaching podcast for a new season with new students. Discussions include Milestones, how online teaching has changed this year, our dogs, video games, and so much more. Don't forget to answer the discussion question in our discussion post!
From virtual birthday parties to home graduations... how are you celebrating life's important events in our new normal? Ms. Sterner and Ms. Shanks share their experiences and ideas here!
We tried to record our podcast a day in advance, but it has only led to confusion! So here's your second dose of Wednesday. Today we answer the Would You Rather question from the last episode, answer questions about Ms. Sterner's musical history, discuss our favorite bands, and share our gratitude for the hard work that our students have been doing!
It's Wednesday! But we filmed this on Tuesday. Find out our care packages of the day and what we're voting off the island, and respond on the Padlet to our Would you Rather question!
New week = new start!
Find out what we did this weekend, keep sharing your awesome board game and movie suggestions, and don't forget to leave us a note in the Podcast! Also, we hope you're enjoying spirit week!
Today we go live via Google Meet- our students watch us record, comment and ask questions in real time! We talked about the best board games to play, tasked the audience with creating an awesome board game, as well as our favorite outdoor activities. We hope that all of our listeners will get outside on these beautiful days!
Today we talk about overwhelm, how to communicate, and we answer questions and read comments off of the Padlet! We also share our care packages and "votes off the island" of the day.
It's St. Patrick's Day here at the Island, as well as Clay's birthday! (Clay is our cat). Today we discuss the importance of patience and flexibility, the new Xbox that's coming out, and introduce a new segment courtesy of one of our favorite counselors! We also read your Padlet questions and comments!
Welcome to Teaching from the (kitchen) Island!
A (hopefully) daily podcast where Ms. Shanks and Ms. Sterner update you with the happenings of online teaching from home. Students can ask questions and "write in" to the show using the Padlet provided to them! Today's topics- the importance of a routine, our fun/unorthodox homework assignments, and the challenges of this new adventure of teaching from home.
