Remember the iPod shuffle?  Does anyone still use one?  Probably not.  It’s amazing to think about which technology is here today and gone tomorrow.  Well that’s what Virtual Reality headset technology is like today.  In this episode I sit down with Karl Kosko from Kent State about some of the research he’s doing with VR headsets and 3D classroom videos.  He explains that over the next 5-10 years you’re going to see huge improvements in VR interface which will allow teacher candidates to get some practice experiencing the classroom without ever leaving their dorm.  It's by no means a replacement for in-person practice, but the possibilities are quite endless, and it’s exciting to think about where we will be in 10 years.  Tune in.

Hearing about how the intricacies of the brain, and finding out the “hard” evidence for human behavior might not sound incredibly appealing to most teachers, but it’s actually remarkably important for people in education to understand.  Once you can identify underlying evidence for certain behaviors, you can begin to address the root of the cause, and not just the symptoms… i.e. instead of punitively reacting to student behavior, discover why the behavior exists and address that to prevent the behavior in the future.

In this episode we discuss some of the underlying brain functions of student behavior, why cortisol levels are important to be aware of, and why some of the proof of the benefits of social emotional learning in your classroom.
