Ep. 88: Thomas Murray, Authentic EdTech Integration, And Wings

In this episode, I connect with Thomas Murray to chat about authentic edtech integration. We discuss the myths and debunk what some might consider “edtech integration”. It’s a great conversation fueled by passion, leadership, and chicken wings! Thomas is a huge fan of “buffalo anything” so we figured that buffalo wings fit best for this conversation. So make sure you give this episode a listen. Don’t forget to leave a review and thank you for listening. Buen provecho!
