Matt and Courtney return from their travel break to start off trimester two - what does critical thinking have to do with personalized learning? We also talk about the Great Gatsby and Catcher in the Rye, and THEME!! (A++++++++++ for Matt)

​Courtney mentions the criticalthinking.org site, check it out!

Matt and Courtney traveled to California to manage the VoicesHub at the annual iNACOL Symposium, and not only did they come away with a month's worth of episodes, they changed the name of the symposium while they were there! iNACOL is now the Aurora Institute, and the energy out of this gathering was evident in the amazing interviews Matt and Courtney wrangled from the attendees. 
These interview episodes will be out every day Monday through Friday starting November 18. They are a collection of some of the leading minds in the personalized learning field, and we hope you will like listening to them as much as we had talking to them. Look for the pods in this feed, and check out the Aurora Institute Innovation Spotlight podcast, where Matt and Courtney host long-form interviews with the Aurora Institute's leaders.
