Gettin' Air with Terry Greene

A special episode, recorded in front of a live audience, featuring Dr. Jess Mitchell at eCampusOntario's TESS Conference. In the dicsussion, we module the use of a pedagogical podcasting tool kit (found here) as a way to create relational learning through course-centered podcasting. Jess discusses her QRD model—Question, Reflect, Disrupt—for building brave spaces in education, shares practical design strategies, and offers real classroom stories. This is for educators seeking to foster connection, inclusion, and student voice in any classroom setting. The transcript can be found here.

Alan Levine doesn't need two turntables to turn the tables on Terry Greene. Just a microphone! In this crossover episode, Alan Levine interviews Terry about Gettin' Air for the OEG Voices Podcast.

Gettin' Air with Dave Cormier. Dave returns to the show to chat about his new role at TRU, the trepidations of children with licenses to drive, and to scheme with Terry about starting a new cross-Canada instructional design/online learning community of practice. During the show these two quick thinkers could not think of a good name for it. However, immediately after, the man who coined the term MOOC does it again and calls it the Canadian Online Learning Discussions (COLD).

Gettin' Air with Ann Gagne, Senior Educational Developer for Accessibility and Inclusion at Brock University. Ann shares her journey from studying Victorian literature to becoming a staunch advocate for accessibility in education.

Puiyin shares her journey from a closed, monetized approach to education and art to embracing openness and community in educational technology.

Gettin' Air with Blair Niblett. Dr. Niblett is Associate Professor in the School of Education at Trent University. This episode was brought to you by Trent University's Centre for Teaching and Learning. The CTL produces a wonderful monthly newsletter called Teaching Notes and February's newsletter is focused on care and kindness in education. We thought an interview with Dr. Niblett, whose scholarship has love and care in pedagogy at its core, would be just the thing to include. As such, Blair's journey to enact an ethic of care as a pedagogical paradigm is central to the discussion.

Gettin' Air with Jon Dron. Professor Jon Dron is the Associate Dean, Learning & Assessment in the Faculty of Science and Technology at Athabasca University and a British National Teaching Fellow. Dr. Dron joins the show to chat a little bit about how education works via his latest book: How Education Works: Teaching, Technology, and Technique.

Gettin' Air with Verena Roberts. Dr. Roberts joins the show to chat about Open Education in K12 vs. Higher Ed, PhD learning journeys, and learning designers in the margins. Oh and we also accidentally ruin the Oilers almost-record-breaking winning streak with our predictions.

Gettin' Air with Dave Cormier. Learning in a Time of Abundance is the result of decades of Dave's thinking, hundreds of blog posts, and endless conversations. With this book, Dave takes us on a journey to the centre of learning, with many interesting stops along the way, most of them unexpected. The Beaver Hating Online Community is represented, for example. In this episode, Dave tells us the story of bringing this book to life. Spoiler alert: It's must read material.

Gettin' Air with Dr. Jenni Hayman. The very first ever guest on Gettin' Air - Open Pedagogy Podcast returns in order to subvert Higher Ed hiring practices. This is an interview for a job that doesn’t exist, but should. And Dr. Jenni Hayman is the woman for the job.

One of the world's best purveyors of authentic ed-tech experiences, Jeremy joins the show to chat about hacking a hip hop annotation technology for his high school English class, working towards a new web standard for social annotation, leading education efforts at Hypothes.is for eight years, and his thoughts on the future of authentic ed tech. What's next for Jeremy Dean I wonder?

Gettin' Air with Yasin Dahi. Yasin joins the show to chat about his prolific work in the creation of open ed tech tools like Learnful (https://learnful.ca/) and the beloved-by-many eCampusOntario H5P studio.

Gettin' Air with Anne Pasek. Dr. Pasek runs the Experimental Methods and Media Lab which "provides resources and structure for interdisciplinary collaboration at Trent University". In this episode we dicsuss the EMM Lab's recently released white paper which is a guide on how to run a zine-based conference, which used their experience running just such a conference, DIY Methods 2022, as the basis for the guide. As you can guess, the process leads to "insightful, weird, and frequently delightful" products!

Gettin' Air with Heather Tillberg-Webb and Stephanie Moore. Heather & Stephanie join the show to discuss their new book Ethics and Educational Technology which walks readers through a sorely (until now) missing process of reflection (of our current practices), interrogation (of educational technologies) and ethical design. It is, as Bonni Stachowiak put it, a magnificent work.

Gettin' Air wth Dr Bea de los Arcos. This is a long overdue chat with legendary open educator Dr. Bea de los Arcos. Bea has worked in Open education for many years. Her journey has taken her from her home counrty of Spain, to the Open University (UK) and now the TU Delft in the Netherlands. Any joyful enthusiasm for open education that exists in the world can all likely be tracked back to Bea. There is no research to back that claim up but it rings true.
