LOTS109 - Goodbye 2020!

Life of the School Podcast: The Podcast for Biology Teachers

- We Introduced ourselves (Aaron Introduces the show, then Tanea, Ryan, Lee) Order will be Aaron, Joining us from Arizona is Tanea Hibler, joining us from Missouri is Ryan Lacson, and joining us from Texas is Lee Ferguson. - What is your go to winter holiday movie (or other media, tv show, song, etc)? Tanea: I just watched Jingle Jangle and it was great Ryan: A Charlie Brown Christmas & Home For Christmas by NSYNC Lee: The Christmas Story, the Whiffenpoofs rendition of “O Holy Night” (or the West Wing version if you prefer) Aaron: White Christmas & A Charlie Brown Christmas Soundtrack by the Vince Guaraldi Trio's - Today we say goodbye to 2020. It has easily been the worst year ever, but we have all had some wins this year. What is one good thing you will take from the past 12 months? Tanea: Kids do really want to learn and they have made me feel appreciated Ryan: Everyone involved with education is incredibly resilient. Teachers are working their behinds off and are making the best of a bad situation. Kids are dealing with all of these transitions (in person, virtual, synchronous, asynchronous) like champs. We are all learning what is truly important. Lee: We have had to innovate on the fly, and hopefully some of the good will stick around post-pandemic. Aaron: Feedback > Grading - Aaron makes the rest of the panelists play a 2020 themed game! - We would love feedback! DM or Tweet @lifeoftheschool and share what you learned in 2020.
