Impossibile leggere tutto ciò che vorremmo leggere: i libri, le riviste, i preziosi racconti nascosti in pubblicazioni poco conosciute. Radio 24 li cerca e li raccoglie per voi in Letture di Radio 24, vere e proprie chicche che meritano l'ascolto e la riflessione. Nella trasmissione c'è anche un invito all'ascolto musicale: le letture si alternano con una selezione musicale classica di pari qualità.

This podcast covers the intersection --or overlap -- of Education and Technology. I podcast out of the computer lab at Benjamin Franklin High School in Arizona. The lab, both a classroom and a tech hub for students, is where I encourage them to experiment with ideas, media formats and communication. But at heart, this is a 'radio' show, using one of the oldest media formats to tell the stories, and back-stories, of the amazing work that goes on at this amazing school. I teach computers and t ...

So much goes on in a school, we sometimes take these things for granted. In my class, there's a constant flurry of activity after school in robotics and eSports, besides tutoring, and students popping in to do homework, quizzes, and edit eBooks. And outside these walls, too! So in this episode I wanted to put together a collection of recordings I m…

In my 40th podcast, I wanted to try out a new way to record it with a remote guest: Podcastle. It's a web-based platform that records multiple voices - a bit like Zoom.

It's about two months since AI apps sprayed their pixie dust all across the Internet. The impact of AI on education --and all content -- is a reality we must face. So I wanted to check things out and run these apps through some testing. I wanted to check my own biases, too, and get to know what it content will look like. I put ChatGPT through sever…

Over the past five years, my computer class has expanded into so many other areas that I I sometimes wonder if it should be rebranded as a Communications class. This struck me as I was grading my finals this week, wrapping things up. With about 125 students across six classes my time seems to be devoted to (a) Reading and analyzing their eBooks (b)…

This podcast was recorded before a live audience in the gym during 'Opening Ceremony,' our morning assembly. It was a first for me, to record a 'live' show. I asked Jessica Keaster to co-host it with me because of two special guests on this show: Reina Ley and Landon Madsen. Reina was on NBC's The Voice, earlier this month (Sept 2022). Also this mo…

He recently conducted an impromptu 'experiment' at our morning assembly that he hosted. Mr. Niemeyer demonstrated how a very small percentage of people end up …

How many borders have you crossed? Author Salman Rushdie, who was brutally attacked on stage earlier this month, knows a lot about borders. His books explore the concept of borders; he’s lived them. He often reminded us that  we don’t simply cross borders; sometimes the border crosses us. I know a thing about borders. On a train, crossing from Germ…

Queen. Humperdinck. Even Eilish? The record industry is on a roll. What's with this vinyl LP trend? Why the throwback to old music formats, even while Apple Music and Spotify dominate?

Jargon and gobbledygook plagues our language. In this podcast Angelo Fernando, who teaches "Writing and Publishing In The Digital Age" talks of some great role models for writers, and how to pay attention to language.

If you look around you, many features of new technology borrow --or steal - from old technologies. Email is a classic example. It's icons and methods are leftovers from this. The envelope, and the paperclip for example. In other apps, the Floppy disc is the standard icon when it comes to saving something. In my class on Writing and Publishing, we s…

Cybersecurity, to simplify it a bit, is all about the good guys (or white hats) going after the bad guys. Actually, the industry calls them Bad Actors. Actors? For guys who could bring down airplanes, or cripple a city’s power grid, that's an odd label. But it’s a real thing. If you’ve heard of cyber intruders hacking, say, a webcam in a child’s be…

This semester, my Junior High students produced more than a hundred eBooks, and published them on the eBook site, Flipsnack. You can find them here. They came up with their own titles. Though they were free to choose any genre, any subject, there was a wide variety of non-fiction this year. Let me give you some context: The eBook project is their c…

Sweden’s major export for me was always ABBA. Until Ikea came along. Now Spotify steals the limelight. Sweden’s major export! It’s a service that’s in just 23 countries shy of the United Nations. Its 2,000 plus employees are in 16 countries - they speak 21 languages -. But unlike other foreign-born apps that landed on our phones (Tik-Tok, for insta…

When you hear the word cloud, what immediately comes to mind? Perhaps iCloud, if you’re an Apple user. Or Cumulus clouds, perhaps? But there's a different kind of cloud - one that doesn’t even exist - the Oort Cloud - and a story of how exciting science can be. Stephanie Quick’s class is an elective. At 6:30 in the morning! This period is known as …

For my Technology Speaker series at Benjamin Franklin High School, I kicked off the semester with a speaker from Google. Patrick Krecker. It was timely as I had just completed teaching units on the roots in the Net. How none of what we access on the Web (or Google) would be possible if not for a man named Tim Berners-Lee. Patrick has a gift for exp…

I recorded this episode during the summer break, on a topic close to my heart. Well, a topic on which I occasionally weigh in. We teachers tend to reward clarity; the red marker is brought out when we spot clichés and redundancies. But here's the thing. We - yes we grown-ups - are often tempted to toss in jargon into everyday speech. Even I catch m…

Being forced off the grid can be inspiring. 'Digital Natives' assume the Internet will be there when they walk into class. Especially my class, a computer lab. One morning, the Internet was dead. No big deal, I told them. There are parts of the world, and even swaths of this country where Wi-Fi is not a given. Networks are sluggish or non-existent.…

But most of all it's all about being honest, an…

Ancestral research has become simplified to a large extent because of access to databases around the world. Even if there is no database on one's family line, the Internet has made it possible to connect the dots. In this episode, I talk to a researcher who's been digging up court records, baptismal certificates and patents that leave a paper trail…

You never know the unintended consequences of installing a ‘Little Free Library.’ If you’ve never heard of this, it’s a tiny box shaped like a little birdhouse with books for the taking — no library card needed. Despite an annus horribilis we went through - or perhaps because of it - there seems to be an explosion of creativity. A library in school…

When he’s not teaching Latin, Greg Davis is an agile outfielder at a AZMSBL, an Arizona league. Or crooning at an open-mic session at coffeehouse in Chandler with his hand-made guitar.

Student debt is a toxic topic. Banks and financial institutions exploit young people’s ignorance of a byzantine tax code and interest rates.
