Something new every time
Always come away with new ideas or at least something I can pirate. Great place to get ideas for tech advice teaching. Matt doesn’t just share new tech ideas but how to include them into existing lessons.

Short, concise & impactful!
I'm so glad that Matt is back with more episodes of the #ditchpod! I love that in a quick 5-10 minute listen I can hear Matt's valuable perspective on a new tool or a new twist on an old tool or idea. For those educators who say "I don't have time to listen to podcasts," this is for you!

Simply the Best!
This podcast is my absolute favorite - barely nudging out GTTP! Matt is incredibly relatable, his podcasts are clean, brief and give tips, tricks, or think abouts that improve the lives of teachers and their students!

Great show, great host, great tech tips
I throughly enjoy listening to this podcast. I love the short (less than 10 min) listening time. It is great for the drive to work. And I normally find something I can use or share.

I’m Ditching!
Matt’s five minute podcasts are great for my 5 minute drive to work, cooking dinner or when my kids are playing the x box! His ideas are applicable to my classroom and full of tech integration! I saw Matt at at conference and now I’m hooked!

Great content!
Matt’s 5-minute podcasts are perfect for my short morning commute. I can listen and then check out his recommendations when I get to school. Keep up the great work!

Who doesn’t have 5 minutes?
Matt Miller produces a lot of high quality content each week on his website/blog, and co-hosts one of the best EdTech Podcasts out there with Kasey Bell, The Google Teacher Tribe Podcast. When I heard that Matt was starting his own DitchPod on the side I was elated. I immediately downloaded the first episode. When I saw that it was only 5 minutes I was a little disappointed and thought this must just be a teaser episode to kick things off. Then I listened to it to hear him explain why he was going to try to stick to a shorter format. It’s because he wants to produce a podcast each weekday. I thought wow! He must have a lot of ideas cached up to do that. If he has 5 minutes a day to stop and record something that he thinks will help educators everywhere, then I have 5 minutes to stop and listen. And listen I have! Some days I’m catching up and listening to several back to back, each one as great as the last and eager for more. It then occurred to me that if I could take the time to listen then I could also take the 5 minutes to write a review to help his show be more visible in iTunes. Bottom line, everyone needs to be learning something new on a daily basis. With Matt’s DitchPod you can accomplish that as easily as clicking play. Thanks Matt for all that you do for educators!

“Matt Challenges Educators to Think”
Love The Ditch That Textbook podcast. His insightful, thought-provoking topics, are what educators need to hear. Matt challenges us to reflect and think about what matters in our profession and it’s impact on students! Essentially, he models exactly how we should challenge our students daily! Awesome podcast!

5mins of inspiration and passion
I discovered this podcast from my twitter PLN and love it. It is a 5 minute mini lesson on how to make your teaching more meaningful and explicit for students. Matt seems to beam with passion about teaching and gets to the point on how to use new apps, technology, and teaching practices.

Changing my practice
I just recently found this podcast! After “binge listening” the last few days I had to go back and make some changes to my design for teaching teachers at the end of this week! Some things just have to be shared right now! Thanks Matt for continuing to share your thoughts...keep ‘em coming!

Perfect for Small Bites of Information
I struggle to have a podcast hold my attention for long periods of time during my long commute. I may be taking in my surroundings, fighting traffic, etc. These five minute podcasts are a great way to start my day. I feel like I get fresh ideas, and find inspiration for my own works, without getting bored or distracted. Looking forward to more!

Matt Miller!
Matt Miller is a friggin’ machine! I follow this guy on everything and he is a constant inspiration for me. I would listen to Matt talk about his grocery list. I am #superexcited to hear his new podcast. Thanks Matt for being such a motivation for me.

Huge fan of Matt and excited to see he’s started this podcast! I love the concept of short ~5 minute podcasts because it make it less overwhelming to “keep up” or listen on the road. Thanks for this Matt!!

Quick and Useful Stuff from Matt Miller!
I love how you connected interleaving practice with the shuffle button on music. That’s a visual way understand how helpful interleaving is. Love it! Push the shuffle button. 👍🏼

Worth the 5 minutes!
Not a silver bullet, but with this daily 5 minute podcast Matt delivers little silver BBs that educators can use to improve their teaching and student learning. It’s either a great tech tip or thought provoking idea, listeners will find this podcast very enjoyable. Can’t wait more more.
