Episode 00! Podcast Introduction!

In this episode, I introduce the concept of the podcast - that we read books and then talk about them. Its...pretty self-explanatory?

The rationale behind podcasting our talks is that when we have authentic ways of demonstrating our learning, it makes the learning itself more authentic. Students are having great discussions about their books now, but this is a way to really showcase that learning that is more authentic than just talking in class. Additionally, we're working on our skills in questioning as we listen to others talk about our books and make connections to ourselves, the world, and other texts.
