My guest is Don Goble, and he is an awesome media specialist educator. Not only do we have a great conversation, but we give tons of tips and ideas for how you can incorporate film and video into your classes no matter what you teach.

On today’s show, my guest educator and author Hans Appel, and I discuss how to build a strong school community onsite, but also online. We also talk about how to make learning joyful, experiential learning, going gradeless and much more! On In the Trenches, I’ll be sharing some ideas for creating classroom communities online, as well as in class, and I have a special announcement!

In this powerful episode, 12 educators in the trenches share their challenges, tips, tools and words of inspiration during this challenging time of a shut-down schools and distance learning. This is a double-sized episode that is filled with not-to-be-missed dispatches from all over the US (and one from Canada) representing all different communities and the difficulties they are facing along with the creative approaches these passionate educators are using.
