Show notes

Feedback, Shoutouts, and Links

Dan Gallagher shared some of his experience with Digital Citizenship. Derek Larson talked about DigCit in episode 167.

#EdTech Thought

I participated in the November edition of #PassTheScopeEdu and this month's topic was #RestUpTeachUp. In this segment, I talk about the need for sleep and resting and recharging as an educator and how that can't be overlooked.

#EdTech Recommendation
