Ep. 294 | Why Embarrassing Moments Make Better Teachers w/ Jen Casa-Todd – EdTech Bites Podcast

This episode is sponsored by Teq. One of the biggest challenges in schools right now is capacity. Educators are asked to do more, often with new tools, and very little support. Teq helps by combining classroom technology like SMART Boards and STEM resources with professional learning that respects educators’ time and reality. It’s support that makes technology usable, not overwhelming.Learn more at Teq.com.In this episode, Jen Casa-Todd and I dive into a topic every educator experiences—but rarely talks about openly: embarrassing classroom moments. We get a bit vulnerable and discuss some of our most cringe-worthy classroom moments and what we did to turn that embarrassment into empowerment. We’ve all had (or will have) them so let’s talk about them and use them to our advantage. This is one episode you won’t want to miss.

Ep. 91: Roxi, Coaching During A Pandemic, And Sandwiches

In this episode, I chat with previous Roxi Thompson to look at how coaching was redefined during the pandemic. We reflect on our jobs as educational coaches a year later and examine what we learned and how we will move forward with these new skills. We connected during our lunch times so what better food to share virtually during lunch than a good sandwich! It’s a great episode that any instructional or edtech coach can learn from and more importantly, use as a means as a reflection. So grab yourself a sandwich and give this episode a listen. Buen provecho!

Ep. 90: 2020-2021 Wrap Up w/ Brianna, Carl, And Tom

In this episode, I chat with previous guests Brianna Hodges, Carl Hooker, and Thomas Murray. We each have chicken wings and the same 5 sauces. After asking each of my 5 questions, we douse a wing with a specific hot sauce and answer in a round table manner. As we go through each question, the sauces get a bit hotter. This is a great conversation that could have gone for a lot longer than it actually did. This has been an interesting school year that taught us MANY things and this is exactly what we cover. Buen provecho!

In this episode, I fly solo and without food. Ouch! The reason for that is to focus on what’s coming up in the world of education. State testing. I give 5 tips for teachers, parents, and students in order to prepare for state testing. For some of us, state testing is literally this week. For others, they still have some time to go but either way, we all could use some tips to prepare. So enjoy this episode and make sure you share it with a colleague. Buen provecho!
