Listen "Don't Call This A Computer Class! Episode 37"
Episode Synopsis
Over the past five years, my computer class has expanded into so many other areas that I I sometimes wonder if it should be rebranded as a Communications class.
This struck me as I was grading my finals this week, wrapping things up. With about 125 students across six classes my time seems to be devoted to (a) Reading and analyzing their eBooks (b) Mixing down and uploading their class podcasts (c) Planning a photography 101 class for the last day of school. That, in addition to teaching keyboarding, and discussing relevant news each week whether it’s cybersecurity or crypto or the latest development in Google 'Moonshot Factory.' Or the usual social media’s hiccups that week that turns into a ‘teachable moment.’
In this podcast you'll hear clips from selected student podcasts hosted here in the Computer Lab in the week before finals. These podcasts covered topics such as: Screen Time, History, Global pollution, Books, Secrets Of The Amazon, Symphony Wars, 'Is Dance a Sport?', one called 'Economics Breakdown,' one on J.K. Rowling’s Genius, a review of The Black Widow, Lucid Akinator, Wrestling, a Game-show, one about the Rubik’s Craze, and some on school culture --the Charger Lifestyle- and Sports. You could find them all here.
