| 0:00.0 | This is Jennifer Gonzalez welcoming you to episode 28 of the Cult of Pedagogy podcast. |
| 0:05.2 | In this episode, I'm going to give you a big long list of strategies for class discussion. |
| 0:21.6 | Hello there. I'm so glad you're listening. I have been hearing from people who tell me that |
| 0:26.5 | they're listening on their commutes and on their walks and when they work out. |
| 0:32.9 | And so I'm starting to be able to picture some of you and where you are right now. |
| 0:37.8 | And that's just so great because doing this is a little bit like talking out into space. |
| 0:43.2 | And so I just wanted to say hello. So I have a ton of really good stuff for you today, |
| 0:48.9 | but first two things. Number one, if you have not yet gone over to iTunes to give the show a review, |
| 0:55.2 | I would be so appreciative of it. The reviews are starting to build up and that really, |

| 1:38.9 | the book is done really well on Amazon. We've gotten over 65 star reviews in just a few months. |
| 1:45.0 | And so the announcement is that now the audio version of the book is available. |
| 1:50.6 | It's not read by mere markets, read by a different narrator, but if you are a podcast listener, |
| 1:56.3 | then you are probably also an audiobook listener. So I thought it would be great for you to know about |
| 2:01.1 | this. To get it, you would just go to Amazon and look for Hacking Education 10 Quick Fixes for |
| 2:06.7 | Every School. And then you'll see there now there is an audio option. And you can actually get |
