Show notes for Episode 2: Informal vs Formal Learning

Where do you turn when you want to learn something? Many kinds of informal learning are just a quick internet search away, and tend to be low cost and flexible, while formal learning options like classes offer structure, credentials, and access to a trained instructor.

In this episode we interview two very different kinds of teachers:

• Becky Han is an Inuk singer-songwriter who uses social media to share and teach her native language, Inuktitut. Find Becky on Twitter.

• David Hay has over ten years of experience teaching both children, teens, and adults about science and technology. He’s currently working with not-for-profit Cybera to help teachers apply data analysis and computational thinking into their classrooms.
