Diddorol Podcast, ep.5 - Reflections on Week 3 (and part of 4)..and NECAPs

Now that the students know, more or less, how the game works, the workload is increasing: Not surprisingly, more and more of them want to "level-up" in order to progress in the game. That means nightly (and weekend-ly) grading and calculating. So far, it's still novel for me (not to mention the kids), so I don't mind the work, but I am thinking hard about how I can make the process more efficient. Novelty does, after all, wear off.

In this episode, I talk a little about that, and I also explain what's been going on. The annual standardized testing (the "NECAPs" in this state) begin tomorrow, and I address how that reality is affecting the mythology of the Kingdom of Diddorol.

As I say in the podcast, questions are welcome: [email protected]
