In this episode, I chat with Pamela Buenrostro about how the global pandemic is affecting the education system in Mexico and Chinese food. The Mexican education system does not have all of the same resources that we have in the United States so it’s interesting to get some perspective from a teacher in another country. In addition, I also recorded an episode with her in Spanish so if you would rather hear that one or know someone who will, let them know. And who knows, I might just launch EdTech Bites Español. Buen provecho!

Ep. 59: Jacob, Esports, And Pulled Pork
In this episode, I chat Esports with Jacob Luevano. Being that we’re quarantined to our homes, many of our students (including us parents) are playing video games more. Jacob and I discuss what esports is and how his district is implementing this evergrowing industry and how it is effecting our students physical and social-emotional learning. But there’s more! He even shares his secret recipe for pulled pork. I’m not going to lie, it made my mouth water. Be safe and Buen provecho!

Ep. 58: Distance Learning Resources With Tisha and Jacob
This episode is the audio from a livestream I held with Tisha Poncio and Jacob Luevano a couple of weeks ago. We streamed this webinar through Periscope when school closures were announced. Our goal was to curate a list of tools for educators to use with their students for distance learning. Going through an overwhelming list of tweets and posts through social media platforms can be extremely overwhelming, which is why we hosted this. As you are going through your distance learning with your students, you might realize that you’re already using some of these tools. We are going through best practices with these tools as well as different ways to use them. So strap in (as I know you’re not going anywhere), and hear what we have to say about some of our favorite tools for distance learning. Buen provecho!
Ep. 57: Eric, Self-Care, And Fatty Brisket

And what a more perfect time to discuss well-being than Spring Break! Eric gives some great advice as to how he has focused on digital well-being in order to be a more balanced individual. So make sure you check this episode out and hear what Eric and I have to say about well-being… and fatty brisket. Buen provecho!
