The TechEducator Podcast

Is your school looking to develop a STEAM lab or a Maker Space? In this episode, Meredith Martin shows us how you can turn a simple room into the innovation lab of your dreams for pennies on the dollar!

Have you ever wondered what it might be like for the STUDENTS to have more ownership of the technology choices in your school? What if your schools goal was to implement it's very own Apple Genius bar where the students fixed the TEACHERS devices? In this episode, we learn how one school is taking learning out of the hands of the IT department and putting in the hands of the students themselves!

In this episode of the TechEducator Podcast, we explore powerful Add-ons for Google Forms and Google Sheets. Also in this episode, we have a visit from Andrew Stillman, one of the amazing authors of these Google Add-ons.

In todays show, we discuss and demonstrate 7 amazingly free augmented reality apps that you can use in your classroom.

Are you able to navigate your way through the Google Apps for Education Administration Menu? In this podcast we take you through it step by step!

One of the goals for ISTE 2015 was to get the band together and do something special.  The TechEducator Podcast is a very special show created nearly 100 episodes ago with a vision to gather amazing educators from across the country and put them one one single show to demonstrate how to best use the tools we blog about in our classrooms.  I am very fortunate to be able to call Sam Patterson, Jeff Herb, David Saunders, Josh Gauthier, Chris Nesi, and Wokka Patue my friends and cohosts.  This year we were able to gather together at ISTE for our second annual LIVE podcast.  What made this show even better was that we were able to honor our audience… or in this case, celebrate the wit and genius of Peggy George. Peggy George is a friend, colleague and a wonderful person to get to know.  I met Peggy at ISTE 2 years ago in San Antonio and she instantly took me under her edu-wing and helped me tremendously.  I can’t say thank you enough to this entire group of edu-friends.  It’s been a great (almost) 100 podcasting episodes.  Here’s to another 100!
