EdTech Rewind Episode 13 Booing Betsy and Google Takeover




EdTech Rewind show

Summary: The gang is back for Episode 13, Booing Betsy and Google Takeover. The big news from the life of Lee and Clint is that Lee is now Dr. Green, officially! He donned the regalia last week and walked across the stage of the University of West Georgia to gain a new front part of his name. Clint also had a great week due to the end of testing AND he was able to introduce some young folks at Cleveland Road Elementary to the world of Podcasting! Stay tuned to Episode 13S for a short show brought to you from the fine folks at the Cleveland Road Elementary Tech Club. The guys also get into a discussion on Jam Band preference, Chuck Todd, and the amazing Andrew Stillman. Clarke County Schools is switching over to a Stillman creation, Little SIS. Lee was pleasantly surprised to hear it mitigates some of the class creation issues in going from PowerSchool to Google Classroom. Seems like a legit product. <br><br>Covering Edtech news, the gang covers the booing of Secretary DeVos at a graduation as well as her speech at ASU-GSV. The guys also cover the opus of an article from Natasha Singer of the New York Times, How Google Took Over the Classroom. <br><br>Articles:<br>Dian Schaffhauser: DeVos: We're Just 'Scratching the Surface' of Ed with Tech, THE Journal, <a href="https://thejournal.com/articles/2017/05/10/devos-were-just-scratching-the-surface-of-ed-with-tech.aspx" rel="noopener">https://thejournal.com/articles/2017/05/10/devos-were-just-scratching-the-surface-of-ed-with-tech.aspx</a><br><br>Natasha Singer: How Google Took Over the Classroom, New York Times, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/13/technology/google-education-chromebooks-schools.html?smid=pl-share&amp;_r=1" rel="noopener">https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/13/technology/google-education-chromebooks-schools.html?smid=pl-share&amp;_r=1</a>
