Episode 103: Get to It: Self-study
Matt’s Notes Thanks one and all for joining on this hundred-and-third Ed non-Tech outing, wherein we’re all about self-study and/or autodidacticism and/or heutagogy! The self-teaching is rich here, even to the extent we’ve taught ourselves the format for this humble, meek podcasting endeavor, and also rich are the rabbit holes we travel down hereabouts. We’re…

Episode 98: Fake Plastic Trees: Obsolete “best practice” in education
Matt’s Notes Hey there! Thanks for joining us, as we continue our rapidly-dwindling countdown to the triple digits of this EnT!

Episode 97: Computer Blue: Naming things in education – the Thagomizer
Matt’s Notes Greetings, and welcome to our latest EnT outing! Is this a podcast? A video blog? A teaching resource?

Naming things is always a dicey proposition, and so we’re taking the stegosaurus by the tail as we attempt to…
Episode 96: Don’t Drag Me Down: Linear progression narrative in education
Matt’s Notes Welcome to the latest episode of this EnT!
