What We Are Learning

AJ: The Yankees are AMAZING and are becoming MUST WATCH TV!

Chris: Been watching a lot of YT videos on the Edison bulb and DIY lamps and sconces. What’s and Edison bulb? So in the not too distant future, I will be making new lamps for our living room as well as wall sconces for the stairway in my house. I also hope to add a retro-looking or steam-punk style lamp to the studio here.

Stacey: Stacey is getting out of her comfort zone!

Feedback and Shoutouts

  • Kevin McElhinney, @KevinMcElhinney, HS Science Teacher from South Dakota
    • “I just wanted to say thank you to the three of you for providing me with yet another great podcast. I came across the show while looking at the Education Podcast Network website. Working in a small district in rural South Dakota it is hard to find a lot of quality PD. Your show feels real and authentic, and the recommendations you give help me grow professionally and yes AJ even personally. Having three young children and 5 different science subjects to plan for I don’t have a lot of time for Twitter chats. Your podcast version gives me the chance to listen and learn while doing something else. So thank you again for this quality show.”
