Wicked Decent Learning
Wicked Decent Learning explores issues relevant to teachers in Maine and the world beyond the Vacationland borders. Hosted by two practicing public educators, WDL features a weekly discussion followed by technology integration tips, media integration ideas, book talks and a 'Didja See?' segment about the week in education news. And no show would be completely without a few tangents and a healthy dose of shenanigans. Contact Wicked Decent Learning at www.wickeddecentlearning.blogspot.com or wickeddecentlearning@gmail.com

Keep these episodes coming! It is refreshing to hear real teachers speaking about the realities of schools in an entertaining manner. Quite honestly, from my point of view, these are the best podcasts that I have experienced to this point.
Thanks . . .
