This episode was funded by listeners like you. In today's episode, we feature one of our patrons, David Handel, MD. David is the CEO and co-founder of iDoRecall.com. iDoRecall is a unique spaced repetition flashcard app that enables you to create flashcards linked to the relevant location in your learning materials, where you just learned something, and you want to ensure that you’ll remember it.
Recently iDoRecall embarked on an ambitious project that led to our becoming an OpenStax EdTech Ally Partner. We hired subject-matter expert educators to create comprehensive sets of linked flashcards for most of the OpenStax textbooks. We have made these flashcard sets available for 100% free use by you, your students, and your schools. We are also offering educators, just like you, the opportunity to obtain a free iDoRecall educator’s license that will enable you to monitor your students’ engagement and metrics as they use the OpenStax flashcards to learn and remember what they learn Please fill out this form if you are interested in this free license (that we usually sell).

Show Notes:In Episode 68, Carolina interviews Dr Zayba Ghazali-Mohammed (@Zayba_G) and Dr Arun Verma (@drarunverma) to learn more about the concept of intersectionality. Zayba is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Psychology at the School of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Glasgow and founder of the Race and Equality Network (RaEN). Arun is a leader in advising on implementing intersectionality, equity, and diversity in various contexts. In this episode, they share why it is important to raise awareness for intersectionality in any context, and specifically in education. They discuss challenges and opportunities of acknowledging and even embracing intersectionality in the classroom – and share many tips for teachers and students on how to proactively create “intersectional educational spaces” that provide room for diversity and learning. The first step is recognizing that intersectionality exists and educating oneself about what it is. This episode is a good starting point. Enjoy!
