A little more than six months ago, I was volunteering at radio station WBAI, and I got into a conversation in the hallway with radio producer Mitchel Cohen about education. He started recording me, and a few hours later, we were still talking. Mitchel brilliantly edited all our talk down into a ten minute interview. He did a great job–I actually sound coherent, and as if I know what I am talking about. It was my first introduction to being on radio:
We talk about charter schools, Teach for America, New York City politicians, educational priorities, and the teaching profession. I think you’ll find it interesting.
Reblogged this on Anatomy of Teaching and commented:
Here’s my friend Jack Shalom of New York City talking about teaching. The talk is more political than this blog normally is, but I think you’ll find his approach interesting and refreshing.
Wow!! Jack: Your commentary on Teach for America and charter schools was absolutely brilliant!! Your presentation was so smooth and well organized and well worded with facts to back up what you said. Good job!! And shocking stuff!! Thanks!!
Really, all credit to Mitchel Cohen on this one. When I saw that he could make an idiot like me sound good with editing, it inspired me to want to learn Audacity.
