Pop culture isn’t noise. It’s one of the first places young people learn to make sense of themselves. I talked with Mia Hood about how those early texts shape identity and resistance. Sharing a short reel here—full episode is up now. #nosuchthingpod Come find the episode shows.acast.com/nosuchthing

I've been hunting for an educator who can share their practice, pushing past the temptation to let others dictate how AI will play out in schools. #NoSuchThingPod #AI #EdChatK12 #Teens #Innovation My thanks @miketaubman.bsky.social and Uncommong Schools. 🎧 shows.acast.com/nosuchthing/...

150 episodes #nosuchthingpod. Wild. This one with Tracy Fullerton & Matthew Farber hit me hard — on #videogames as texts, as performance, as misunderstood learning environments. Sub to No Such Thing Pod wherever you get your pods. 🎧https://shows.acast.com/nosuchthing/episodes/the-well-read-player

Some of us grew up thinking identity was a %'age. Kids today are showing us it’s a landscape. New #NoSuchThingPod with Sangita Shresthova @sangitas.bsky.social on cross‑cultural parenting, media as connective tissue, + the new shape of belonging. 🎧 tinyurl.com/fk3n7ef Boost if it resonates.

“School is time-based. But learning isn’t.” In The Data Beyond Seat Time, we explore what happens when we stop measuring learning by hours in a chair—and start capturing what really counts. #nosuchthingpod #edreform #assessmentforlearning shows.acast.com/nosuchthing/...

For decades, we've been told that technology opens doors—but what if, in practice, #access doesn’t mean #equity? What if, as Dr. Roderic N. Crooks argues, “you can't get there from here”? 🤔 Episode 139 #nosuchthingpod @ucirvine.bsky.social @clalliance.bsky.social shows.acast.com/nosuchthing/...
