We are a collaborative team of Instructional Technology Coaches. Our goal is to help teachers, students, and parents leverage technology for learning. This fall we were all first-year teachers. We are here to help you get the support you need to make it a great year for you and your students. Our mission is to create collaboration and community amongst teachers.

Creative Educator, Creative Students
The goal of every lesson is a transfer of knowledge from the lesson to application. The method we select for assessment defaults to the method of our content delivery. If we instruct with a slide presentation narrated by us and sprinkled with questions, then our students default to a multiple choice test and essay. There is risk in trying a new lesson, and a greater risk in trying a new assessment. Join the conversation as we learn from Jeff Hampson, a high school history teacher, and the concept of the "unessay."

Happy Conference Season
Education conferences offer opportunities for educators to share out and evolve our classroom practices. During the pandemic all education conferences have adopted a virtual experience, and while we will miss the networking and free swag, we also gain the luxury of on-demand professional development.

Customer Reviews
Always gets my mind going!
I recently started listening to the podcast and really appreciate all the tech tips and information. I always have to keep paper and a writing utensil nearby, since I get inspired with ideas to try in my classes. This pod-quad is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about education. (I also love all the silly banter and discussions about little-known holidays.) Thanks for the great episodes!
