Presentation Title: Adam Jones Education Podcast Creation Story

Presentation Description: In this 17 minute video, I tell the story behind the creation of the Adam Jones Education Podcast. This presentation falls under the “Stories of Connection” theme because I am eager to share how the Podcast has catalyzed my own learning and encouraged others in my PLN to share their stories. At the heart of the story are the three critical ingredients for learning: time for obsession, connection with experts and time to build a prototype to learn from failure. Additionally, producing a regularly occurring Podcast raises questions about how to best promote it with an audience because it really is all about sharing other people’s work beyond our PLN. I continue to learn a ton about leveraging social media for sharing.

Presentation Description: The Ben N Ben Show is exactly what this strand entails: Student Voice. We interview fellow students, teachers from around the country, technology professionals, college students/professors, politicians, etc. and all along, we work hard to promote schools centered around students and what they want in collaboration with the rest of the learning community.
