Welcome to part 2 of my interview with @lmhenry9 where she shares some tales from TMC12, meeting tweeps, and discuss the changing landscape of teaching.

Listen in as Lisa takes us through her introduction to twitter, how teaching has changed for her over the years, and how this whole TMC thing got started.

Part 2 of my chat with @wahedahbug, a teacher from the small town of Hana, HI.

Hailing from the beautiful Hana, Hawaii, @wahedahbug shares her stories from life in a small town and how she is always striving to be a better teacher.

Part 2 of my chat with Max Ray of The Math Forum. 

This week we hear from Max Ray of The Math Forum about the identity of Dr. Math, pro-tips for teaching geometry, what is critical when giving written feedback, and what he does at The Math Forum.

This conversation was kicked off after I read Josh's blogpost Why school itself undermines the message of lifelong learning. The subtext we send students daily in class through the format of how we teach and grade is something that's interested me since I started teaching. In Episode 111, Josh and I chat about some of our experiences and thoughts surrounding the messages we send our students and how life doesn't go downhill after high school.

Here is part two of my interview with @cheesemonkeysf where we talk about resourcefulness, those lightbulb moments, and cheesemonkeyef shows her English teacher side.

After a delightful lunch with Avery and Bree, today's guest and I sat down to chat about her history in the teaching world, some thoughts on teaching middle school, and musings about the twitterverse. 

Enjoy this Bonus Infinite Tangents episode recorded live at a trivia night hosted by Desmos and Mathalicious and MC'd by Dan Meyer at NCTM Denver.

I sat down with a principal (fun fact: he was my principal!) to ask a few questions about interviewing, demo lessons, working with peers, and what advice he had for first year teachers.
