    E12 - Valuable Insights from my First Season of Podcasting

    E12 - Valuable Insights from my First Season of Podcasting

    On this final episode of season 1, I share my journey into starting this podcast and some of the most valuable insights that I have gained this last year since launching Blending In.  I discuss how I’ve “blended in” podcasting into my role as an EdTech Specialist and how, through this platform, I’ve been able to highlight some amazing educators who are providing incredible learning opportunities inside the four walls of their classrooms. I reflected back on my conversations with each of them and how they're "blending in" good pedagogy with meaningful use of technology to engage and motivate students to do the hard work of learning.
