This week, they are rewarding their students for their positive behavior with a PBIS special day called, "Hobby Day." PBIS encourages kids to make good choices in the classroom, on the playground, on the bus, in the lunchroom, bathrooms, hallways, etc. My wife, Shanna, and I were asked to come present to the kids on Hobby Day about podcasting. Shanna put together a really fun presentation and we're going to teach the kids about some of the vocabulary of podcasting and how shows like this end up on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Just a word of warning—I recorded this show while sitting in the vice principal's office. So, you'll hear a little bit of echo and a lot of fear in my voice from some PTSD from my youth (kidding).
