Episode 261 - Finding our Unmute Button (S07E04)

Welcome back to a new episode of Rebel Teacher Alliance! This week we kick off at Jamie’s intro and tease a mystery “permanent sub” joining the crew soon. Fabian recaps Schools of the Future with some honest takeaways, from a sharp student-led AI panel to a sobering session on online radicalization, plus hanging with Dr. Merv and walking out with a Renaissance swag haul. Jamie brings highlights from the Vibe Shift conference, mini-reports that actually work, and why performance tasks carry real weight on state tests. In class talk, Fabian shows how Flocabulary leveled up a 47 Presidents lesson and shares a simple Lyric Lab workaround. We also play with NotebookLM’s interactive podcasts, mind maps, and new explainer videos for sub days and PD. We cap it off with “Whatcha’ been playin’...?” Join @hofmannedu.bsky.social and @jedijamie.bsky.social by subscribing to our podcast and rating and reviewing us on Apple Podcasts!
