It is great to have Adam Bellow stop by the podcast to chat about education, homework, worksheets, Star Wars, and the value of pop culture in raising our kids. Enjoy the podcast, throw a comment or review on iTunes and come back in a couple of weeks for another episode.

There was a request to talk about presenting at conferences and I went to my main man Steven Anderson AKA @Web20Classroom to see what he thought about presenting and why it is valuable. Listen as Steven explains his thoughts on presenting and whois going to win NASCAR this year.

I'm was so happy to have Lyn on for the the show to chat about our love for the movie Heathers, its cultural relevance in education today and balancing being an educator and a parent. Lyn is an amazing educator and you can follow her on Twitter at @lynhilt.

David Saunders and I chat about Graphic Novels and Makerspaces on this podcast. Check him out at @designsaunders on Twitter.

I'm flying solo on this shorter podcast. I wanted to share some thoughts on mental health and education. If you listen to this, please draw a semicolon on your wrist and share in on social media using #semicolonEDU. We need to help end the stigma that comes with mental health issues and support all educators and students that battle these issues every day.

In this episode, William Chamberlain (@WmChamberlain) talk about Blogging and giving students a voice outside of the classroom. If you have been interested in connecting your students with others teachers and students, this is the podcast for you. Check out #Comments4Kids for more info on making these great connections.

The week I have the fabulous Sherry Gick on the show to talk about Learning Spaces in Libraries and the value of Teacher Librarians in schools. We chat a bit about our love for Doctor Who, so forgive our couple of minutes of nerding out.

It was great chatting with Amber Teamann. She is an elementary assistant principal and all around awesome human being. She is a huge Cowboys/Troy Aikman fan and shares what it is like to be an administrator. Relationships with students and teachers are things that admins are constantly working on and Amber offers some great insight on how that works. If you have wondered what goes on in an admin's brain, this is the podcast episode for you.

This week's #NerdyCast episode is all about grades. This was a very interesting conversation that made me really think about grading practices and what it is that all teachers are doing when it comes to assessment. The best question of the night was simply, "What is an A?".

Welcome to Season 3 Episode 1 with John T Spencer. Today we talked about teacher pay, ambition, House of Cards, and anti-heroes. We will be back in a couple of weeks for episode 2. Thanks for listening!

Welcome back for another episode of #NerdyCast. Tim and I are going to be talking about Glue Sticks, BYOD, Google Glass and more Girl Meets World Updates. Next month, Tim and I will be talking about crativity in the classroom and why it is so important. 

In this NerdyCast we explore the value of Homework in the classroom. We also provide another update on Girl Meets World, discuss the weather in Arizona and why students should avoid starting an all female pop group when you have tests to study for while attending Bayside High School. Thanks for listening! Nick and Tim

We are back and better than ever. Well, we are at least not as bad as were before and we are pretty sure we are not worse than when we started, so that's something. We are excited to be back once a month talking education, pop culture and whatever else gets us off track. We want to thank everyone for encouraging us to start back up and we hope you enjoy the show. Nick and Tim

Here is a great conversation with Steven Anderson (@Web20Classroom) and a cameo by Tim Gwynn (@Tgwynn). We talk about Social Media, teaching, our favorite Australian and our favorite things we saw while at #ISTE12. This is a super-sized podcast (I'm sorry) because #ISTE12 is a super-sized tech conference. I promise that future podcast will be much much closer to 30 minutes to spare all of you my voice. Feel free to share an comment. I would love as much feedback as possible. Nick

In this episode of #NerdyCast, I have the distinct pleasure of chatting with Pernille Ripp. I have been a huge fan of Pernille's writing for a while and she is on my "Must Collaborate With" list. I love her honesty and passion for teaching. I feel comfortable saying that she is my favorte native Danish teacher. Her school is lucky to have her and we are all luck to have her as part of our PLN. We spend time talking about Blogging, students, fashion and our mutual love of zombies. Please check out her blogs  "Blogging Through the 4th Dimension" and her fashion blog "poor og rich" You can also follow her on Twitter at @PernilleRipp. Pernille is a dedicated educator who I thank for taking the time to chat with me and I hope to have her as a guest again in the near future.
