One hundred episodes in, there are more tools for teachers than ever—but that doesn’t mean you need to use all of them. In this episode, Josh shares a few tools that continue to stand out because of what teachers and students can actually do with them. From student thinking and feedback to accessibility, AI, and […]

Students can create an incredible video, presentation, or project—but that doesn’t always tell us what they learned. In this episode, Josh explores what happens when we look beyond the finished product and ask students to explain, use, connect, and show their learning. Sometimes one simple question after the project is finished can tell us more […]

The students who raise their hands aren’t always the only ones who know the answer. In this episode, Josh explores how small changes in the way we ask students to respond can give every student a chance to show what they know. Using Wayground presentations, embedded questions, and built-in accommodations, teachers can hear from more […]

Accommodations matter, but delivering them consistently can be difficult in a busy classroom. In this episode, Josh explores how Wayground can make that easier by building supports like read aloud, extended time, translation, and display adjustments directly into the learning experience. Students get the support they need without being singled out, while teachers can spend […]

What happens to student thinking after the bell rings? In this episode, Josh explores how a small digital addition to something as familiar as a gallery walk can give learning somewhere to go. By creating a space where students can share, revisit, and build on their thinking, a classroom activity can become a conversation that […]

When something isn’t working in the classroom, it’s easy to focus on the student or the behavior. But sometimes the system around them is what needs to change. In this episode, Josh and Stephanie Howell talk about classroom management, building routines over time, and helping students develop skills they may not have yet. From simple […]

In this episode, Josh sits down with Stephanie Howell to discuss design thinking and what happens when we stop jumping straight to the solution. Stephanie shares how listening, generating different ideas, testing them, and being willing to adjust can change the way we approach problems. They also explore what happens when students become part of […]

With new tools, platforms, and AI showing up constantly, it can be easy to focus on the technology. But the most powerful thing in the classroom is still the teacher. In this episode, Josh explores the questions teachers ask, the relationships they build, and the moments when they adjust because students need something different. Technology […]

Students can complete assignments, answer questions, and earn grades without ever truly communicating what they understand. In this episode, Josh explores why student voice matters and how giving students opportunities to explain their thinking can deepen learning. Through practical classroom examples and tools like Adobe Express, Padlet, and Seesaw, he shares simple ways to make […]

Students can be busy the entire class period and still struggle to explain what they actually learned. In this episode, Josh takes a closer look at station rotations and challenges teachers to think beyond task completion. Through practical examples, he explores how small changes can make student thinking visible, spark deeper conversations, and turn familiar […]

In this episode, Josh explores why the first day of school is about more than rules, procedures, and syllabus reviews. He shares simple ways to give students ownership from the moment they walk into the room by making their thinking visible and their voices part of the learning. The conversation challenges teachers to think differently […]

In part two of this conversation, Josh continues talking with Beth Fugate about what students really need from math classrooms. The discussion moves beyond tasks and questioning strategies into relationships, student confidence, and helping students see themselves as capable mathematical thinkers. Beth shares stories from her own classroom, why connection matters before content, and how […]

In this episode, Josh talks with Beth Fugate about what math classrooms look like when students are doing more than just following steps. From task-based learning and real-world problem solving to asking better questions and building student curiosity, the conversation focuses on helping students think through mathematics instead of simply chasing answers. Beth shares how […]

In this episode, Josh and Michael explore how student creation can completely change the learning experience. From storytelling and video projects to podcasting and design challenges, they discuss how tools like Adobe Express help students communicate their thinking, collaborate naturally, and take ownership of their learning. Instead of simply completing assignments, students begin creating work […]

What if AI isn’t replacing learning… but extending it? In Episode 86, Josh Morris and Denny Collins dig into what classrooms look like when students use AI to ask questions, explore ideas, and learn in ways that actually fit how they think. This isn’t about shortcuts or replacing teachers—it’s about creating space for better conversations, […]
