This week we were faced with some unexpected challenges. Our plan was to obviously interview someone and we decided to interview Mr. Robinson since Ty had recently discussed us interviewing him sometime during the week. He said that he would not be able to be interviewed until Thursday during Smart Block so we weren't exactly sure what to do on Wednesday during our Genius Hour time in class. We decided we needed to email some teachers again that did not respond to our first email because we needed more teachers to interview in the upcoming weeks. We also needed to email teachers again because Mr. Barker had made us aware that some teachers had talked to him and were unsure about our intentions with the podcast. We re-emailed several teachers and we got replies from just about every teacher that we did email. We made some plans for the upcoming weeks and that is what we did on Wednesday during our Genius Hour time. On Thursday we were faced with a different challenge. Both us and Mr. Robinson had both forgotten that we had the pep rally on Thursday so there would be no Smart Block during the day. Luckily, Ty had class with Mr. Robinson during fourth period and he some free time during the period, so he was able to interview Mr. Robinson for the upcoming podcast episode. Next week, we plan to interview Mr. Poller and to record the episode for Mr. Robinson's interview. We are already four weeks, almost five weeks, into this project and it does not feel like that at all. We may not be able to record as many episodes as we would like to because we did not realize just how much time this would actually take. That would be the one thing that every member in our group could agree on, we need to work on time management the most. Our interviews, Genius Hour times in class, and podcast recordings go very well but we just need to manage that time better between the three of us. We have definitely improved on communication with teachers throughout these four weeks. When we re-emailed some teachers, that really helped us to get back on track. We definitely hope to improve on our time management skills in the upcoming weeks and work towards completing our project in our timeline.

I found this project really interesting as I always want to know about the teacher and what the class is about before taking that class. I feel that this will help students out tremendously if they need it. Why are the teachers not in the podcasts? I think having the teachers in them would reassure the student. Just something to think about!

The question of what class would you teach if you had the funding to do so from Mr. Robinson's episode is solid. I love that one.
