Episode 130: Fay Dolson and Anna Meyerhoff
In this special finale, join me as I sit down with two remarkable educators: Fay Dolson and Anna Meyerhoff. These passionate Pre-K and Kindergarten teachers share their insights, experiences, and challenges in teaching Computer Science (CS) to students who are just embarking on their educational journey.
Remember, every journey begins with a single step, and these young learners are taking their first steps into the world of technology.
This is my final episode of the SPS Digital Learning hour and I will be turning it over the SPS Digital Learning and SIS department. By the time this episode is available I will no longer be working for the Springfield Public Schools system.

Power Up Your Learning Episode 3: Level 3 On Your Mark: Structure, Design, and Purpose
In this podcast episode we dive into level 3 of Power Up Your Learning. Throughout this episode we will look at how the authors explain how game-based learning (GBL) requires a clear structure, design and purpose to be effective and engaging.
