Educational Podcast

An educational podcast I found was on iTunes. It is entitled Learning, Doing, Being: A New Science of Education. I really enjoyed this because it talks about a way I want to eventually teach. Adele Diamond is a scientist who recently studied how play, sports, music, memorization and reflection are key in students education. It seems as if many people think that the content we teach is the most important thing. Dr. Diamond believes differently. What's more important is having a desire to learn and helping kids find that desire. I completely agree with her and hope to implement a lot of the things she discusses into my own teaching style.
