    Keara Short lost track of time when learning about podcasting; it was joyful!
    Apr 29 2022
    Keara Short, a grade 9 student, knows that learning can be joyful. She developed a love of chemistry through a video game, she embraces 'messy' learning, and she even has an example of when she lost track of time because she was so engaged in editing a podcast. This conversation is a rich example of how much students love to learn; but are we giving them the right opportunities in our schools?

    In the third episode of season 1, I am joined by Melanie Fleming who is a Drama and Textiles teacher at Queen Elizabeth Regional High School in Foxtrap, Newfoundland and Labrador. We had a wonderful conversation about her pedagogical practices, but a real highlight for us was our shared passion for 'messy' learning. Are you curious about what that looks like? Sounds like? Feels like? Melanie has some answers. I hope you enjoy the conversation. You can follow Melanie on Twitter: @MFlemingQERHS

    How Does Harry Potter help Terri-Lynn Morrissey Create Joyful Learning?

    In the second episode of Season 1 of The Joyful Learner, I am joined by Terri-Lynn Morrisey who is a teacher at Holy Redeemer Elementary in Spaniard's Bay, Newfoundland & Labrador. We cover a lot of ground around what helps her students feel engaged and joyful in their learning, as well as what's happening when she loses track of time while learning. An awesome idea she shares is how she helps students find joy in reading with her super fun 'book tasting' day! I hope you enjoy the conversation.
