Dear Filip,

We would like to invite you to be on our Lunch Time Leaders Podcast that we do as part of our Social Studies class at Moran Middle School in Wallingford, CT. We interview leaders in our community and beyond to talk about the challenges of being successfully prepared for the 21st Century. We would like to do the interview on Friday June 14, 2010 at 11:30am/EST. We realize that you are in school, but our teacher said that your principal is super supportive and would probably be willing to make arrangements to make this happen. The interviews are usually approximately 15 minutes long. The interview would require us to have us call you on your phone in order for our system to record it, do it with Skype if you have that capability, or doing it live in our school is also an option ;) You can view our website and see examples of our other interviews on our podcast website, http://lunchtimeleaders. podbean.com. A list of the questions that would be asked are below. If any major changes are made we will send them to you at least a week before the interview. After reading your post on Mr. Sheninger's blog we think you would offer a fresh perspective that we have not received this year. We look forward to hearing from you, Nicole, Racheal, Mikaela

The Lunch Time Leaders Podcast Team Moran Middle School 141 Hope Hill Road Wallingford, CT 06492 203-741-2900 lunchtimeleaders@gmail.com

The first five minutes of the interview are usually questions specifically connected to your current day-to-day responsibilities--you won't have to study for those!! Then we move into the following questions...
 * 1) How do people react to you being in so many different activities?
 * 2) What do you gain by being apart of your extra-curricular activities?
 * 3) What is the hardest part about being class president?
 * 4) What types of technologies should our teachers be proficient at using?
 * 5) What was the best learning/educational experience you have had? Why?
 * 6) What skills/abilities do you feel students need to have to be successful in the 21st century as students?
 * 7) If you were building a school, how would it be different from the one you are in now?
 * 8) When we're done today, what's the one most important "take-away" message you'd like our teachers and students to hear?

Our interviews are streamed to a live audience, so we often get follow-up questions from people listening from around the world.
