Episode 02 of the Practical Principals podcast is out! Head on over to the blog and download a copy of your very own.
In just two podcasts, we’ve already closed in on almost 100 unique downloads. I don’t know about Melinda, but I don’t have that many relatives I actually speak to so someone must like what we’ve done.
Still need to do something about this, though…
Thanks!
Between grad school getting started and the opening of school, I haven’t been able to post as much as I’d like. But there is also one other project I’ve been working on that I’m happy to announce today…
Melinda Miller (a.k.a. Principal Miller of Willard, MO) and I have been working to plan and record what we hope will be a twice-monthly podcast geared toward the nuts and bolts of administratoring for those new and old administrators alike.
One of the things that we all know is that for teachers and administrators there is a major portion of our day-to-day jobs for which no college textbook or 3-credit course can ever prepare you. To that end, we’re hoping that by sharing our experiences in a relaxed, conversational manner might benefit others looking to grow their support networks.
Of course, we’ve got a blog to accompany the podcast and we hope that you’ll consider subscribing! We’re also hoping to finish up the website this week and hope to add a section where listeners can contribute ideas for us to discuss. In addition, we’re not going to be just a two-person show for long — we want YOU to join us and lend your voice! If you’re interested in being on the podcast, drop us a line. We’d love to have you.
We envision a three or four-person round table to discuss either news items or a specific topic in every episode. We hope you’ll check us out and be a part of the podcast!
You can download Episode 1 directly by clicking here, or head over to the blog and subscribe in iTunes or your favorite podcatcher.
I’m still new to recording and audio editing, but I think the content will make up for any initial deficiencies in my audio engineering technique. We’re also going to need new theme music (the current one is just a generic GarageBand loop) so if you’re musically inclined, hook us up!
Consider signing up your blog to participate in Blog Action Day. It’s all about mass participation for the greater good, and I have to admit that I kind of like that.
On October 15, 2007, bloggers around the world will post on this year’s theme: The Environment
Bring your own slant and make it relevant to you, but this seems like a unique opportunity to be a part of something big. Judging from some of the big name bloggers on the list of participants, this thing has a lot of potential.

After reading everyone else’s wonderful submissions to the 8 Things meme, it looks like I’ve been tagged by Principal Miller. And let me tell you, kids: When Principal Miller talks, you listen!
The rules:
And away we go. Eight things about me you won’t find on my “About” page…
As far as passing along the meme, it seems like most everyone I know has already been tagged! Let’s start with Mike, Jeff, and Geir.
