This episode was recorded while at the Elementary Technology Conference in Galveston, Texas. I chat with Debbie Tannenbaum to discuss the refocusing she doing to elementary teachers. There are not many conferences like the Elementary Technology Conference put together by TCEA and she is using her talents to meet the specific needs of our elementary teachers. This is a great conversation that focuses on those needs and how we as coaches can help promote student learning in the elementary classroom. Buen provecho!
