Summary

About education For those interested in education By those in education. This is a podcast for teachers and those interested in education, made by teachers in the trenches. We cover various topics such as teaching during Covid, technology integration in lessons, and light-hearted stories of student and teacher experiences. In addition, we answer questions for those interested in getting into education, new arrivals, or veterans looking for a new perspective. My guest and I do not have all of the answers. We do not claim to be experts, but we are open-minded solution-oriented with various levels of classroom experience. This is not a place where endless complaining takes place. If an issue is brought forth, a possible solution will be discussed.
