We were delighted to speak to Will Reusch, a high school teacher with 15 years of experience ranging from under-resourced inner-city schools to elite private academies.
We discuss using social media intentionally rather than in default mode (aka to anxiety-producing excess), where tech helps and hurts in the classroom, and Will’s podcast Cylinder Radio. Will covers controversial topics with an emphasis on dialogue and civility and NOT on dunking in the “culture war.”
Will also relates from personal experience how to (gently) get back at your bully when he makes you do his homework!
Reusch’s guide for using social media in a way that adds value rather than anger and anxiety is “The Social Solution.” He has also worked with Heterodox Acadamy, founded by Jon Haidt to promote viewpoint diversity in academia, on developing materials for high school students.
When he’s not teaching high school and hosting Cylinder Radio, Will is also building a scaleable homeschooling curriculum.
