Fantastic!
If you are a Tech Coach or Integration specialist whatever you’re title is - if your job is to support teachers with technology this is the podcast for you. Every time I listen to it I get great ideas and the weekly meet ups is so great because I’m a new tech coach and building my professional learning network is so important right now. Thank you so much for this wonderful podcast!
I always get something...
I've been listening for a few months now, and I always hear about great uses of technology in the classroom. Jeff and colleagues LOVE sharing information, and provide thorough, pertinent and timely advice to any educator who wants to use technology in a better way in her/his classroom. Keep a note-taker on hand while listening; you’ll never remember all they share.
Great practical ideas
I regularly learn something that can be applied in my school. The ideas are all practical - they can actually be implemented in a real-life school! Thanks.
