In this episode, I got to spend an hour with the authentic, the powerful, the empathetic, and the one and only Mama Tot. She creates a safe space for ANYONE who sit with her, she empowers those who need it and she, with every plate of pickled ocra, makes this world a better place.Tiktok @shoelover99Instagram @ophelianichols Youtube @ophelianichols9249
In this episode, Ana and I take three days and turn it into two weeks of adventures in Las Vegas. Pool party, Eiffel Tower, hat store, Luke's light saber and eventually, me on the stage in Vegas.PS - I'm in a little in love with Vegas
In this episode, I highlight some of the most important movies created in the 80s and how they can be used to help shaped and implement educational curriculum. Just wait until you see how I use Raiders of the Lost Arc in science class!
In this episode, I begin to unravel the need for soft skills in our health care system - the skills of empathy, communication and education that are slowly being eradicated from the scope of health care. Why? To save money. The impact? A higher cost to the patient, our health care system AND the tax payer.
In this episode, I attempt to highlight the roots of a good education, the place from which a strong student and person begins - 80's TV show themes. You want to change the world you have to show kids how to do 2 things - struggle while facing adversity AND singing at the top of your lungs while you laugh with your friends. Show me a better model for building healthy, strong, intelligent and powerful people.
n this episode, I speak about Nex Benedict and their lost life. And rather than simply blame a person for passing a law, or banning a single book or spouting hateful words, I decided to take responsibility for what I didn’t do. It is about time we got as loud on the podcast mic, as powerful on social media, and as determined at voting booths to out do that wave of intolerance. No more blaming others, only engaging what you have and what you can do to make this world a better place. Get brave.
In this episode, I ask ALL my listeners - 'What are you wearing'? AND 'Why do we all care so much'?Wear you favourite outfit and give me your opinion in the comment section.
In this episode I walk down memory lane of 'my person'. And if you have ever watch Grey's Anatomy you will know exactly what I mean by that.Happy birthday Grandma - you made my world better, forever.
In this episode, Dean and I sit down to discuss the finer points of political game play and the embarrassing way the right tries to consistently dumb down important issues, create scapegoats in the process, and then pretend to save the day.Creating an enemy so you give them all the power to fight...how very Thomas Hobbes of them.
'So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause'. You want to teach history, politics, philosophy - tap into the world of movies with your students. It is in the light saber fights, the gene mutations and the Cylon's soul where you will find the art of understanding the why.
In this episode, I speak about the loss of one the best men I have known - Matt Anderson. He threw a great fastball, empowered all those around him and learned how to truly love himself.I hope you can take a piece of Matt with you where ever you go. I know I always will One of my first's podcasts with Matt'The One Where I Talk About Catching a Fastball' Big Matty Memorial Fundhttps://gofund.me/3b7956cf
In this episode, I take take you down my four year history 'as seen on TV'. Ok fine, not as seen on TV - but definitely 'as seen on Tiktok'. What made me jump into this world? What the best and worst of it? And how did my Grandma gain immortality because of it? Also, who put this phone in my hand in the first place???This may be only ONE chapter of a book - do you think I should write my own?
In this episode, Brandon the Entertainer and I go all in speaking about the power of social media. Fundraising, Spread the Cheer Charity, the Cheer Choice Awards, Stand Up Comedy and the Impact of Social Media.Don't forget to buy the book.
SOLUTIONS NOT REACTIONS.All politicians, administrators and parents - please take notes.
Ok, ok, ok, I didn't save the Island of Misfit Toys - I did WATCH the claymation on Christmas eve - and in my mind I saved them all. However, I did find the spirit of Christmas, authentic love, the perfect gift and the power of 'chosen family'. So, I DID save the Island of Misfit Toys after all.I did not get a bebe gun for Christmas...disappointment abounds.
In this episode, Ana and I take you on many of our pre-Christmas adventures. Mostly, it us trying to find a parking spot.
In this episode, Stacey Green and I talk about hard marriages, divorce and what's on the other side. What was on the other side for me? Authentically being myself, love and boundaries AND TikTok Lip syncs. PS - go buy Stacey's book 'You'll Eat It and You'll Like It'
In this episode, I respond to a tiktoker who claims that teachers are over educated and therefore overpaid for being professional babysitters. Needless to say, this podcast does not go well for Steve.
In this episode, Ana, my mom and I take a road trip to do some Christmas shopping and along the way answer ALL of your Christmas related questions. Ana sings a little and mom steals the show.Be sure to call shotgun when you see the car!
In this episode, I drive into about 8 different fictional movies that will take your in class learning and teaching to the next level. These movies give you so much versatility in theme, context, application and deep thought - your students won't even know they are learning when engaged in this typed of enlightened discourse.I did however, forget to add Buffy The Vampire Slayer - but that will be in the TV edition of 'Teaching with the Telly'

well now I have to go watch Buffy from start to finish. lol
you already have my vote. just that sounds so much smarter than anything our US elected officials say.
Dang it. Which crystal is it?
Brilliant discussion. I do some subbing in the lower grades in schools in the US. This is exactly what I strive for-and when I volunteer in classes, making those relationships, finding how to get different students with different needs to understand the same material, with often very different approaches, is the most rewarding thing ever. It's why third graders I helped in kindergarten still run to get hugs. And now I wanna see the proposal!
Brilliant.
