So....I asked Dr Foreman if I could do something a little different with this project. I was absent the day we picked teams and I felt I wanted to focus on my area of interest...classroom teaching. I was pretty moved and inspired by Pink's book. I must have chattered with everybody I know about his ideas. Even my students were inspired...one of them is now reading the book and he loves it.
What I found most powerful is that he defined some of the undefinable qualities of a great teacher with his six R-directed aptitudes. Very spot on in many ways.
I won't babble on here b/c I'm embarrassed to say that my podcast came in at about 15 minutes. I realize this is far longer than I was assigned but I'm sorry....it' didn't look like 15 minutes on paper. I don't expect to show it in class with the others.
If you have the time...feel free to check it out. I apologize in advance the ticking metronome in the background/foreground. I have done everything possible to turn it off but it is a malfunction of the software (garageband) It should not be audible in the playback...but it is nonetheless.
my podcast is here.......hopefully.

Your podcast is great! What do you mean you're not an artist? I love your script -- you have a great sense for choosing words. I also love the visuals. Did you do the D.Pink mindmap yourself or did this come from somewhere else? That was really cool. I like the colors, the change in line weight, and the street sign in the middle (I have a passion for street signs & some other symbolic languages).
