Hosts: Scot Loyd and Jakob Barnard
Guest: Jim Bear, Education Faculty at the University of Jamestown.
In this episode, hosts Jakob Barnard and Scot Loyd explore the application of improvisational skills beyond the performing arts, specifically within education and technology. Guest Jim Baer, from the Teacher Education faculty at the University of Jamestown, shares insights on how improv can enhance teaching effectiveness. The discussion highlights the unpredictability in teaching, where educators often need to adapt spontaneously, much like in an improv setting. This skill proves essential in dealing with classroom technology failures or unexpected student interactions. The episode delves into the broader implications of improv in fostering communication and adaptability in various professional settings. Baer emphasizes the transformation in educational practices, particularly the shift towards engaging students more interactively and responsively. This aligns with the core principles of improv – always advancing the dialogue and encouraging a flexible, responsive teaching style.
