Edtech Rewind

The gang is back for Episode 13, Booing Betsy and Google Takeover. The big news from the life of Lee and Clint is that Lee is now Dr. Green, officially! He donned the regalia last week and walked across the stage of the University of West Georgia to gain a new front part of his name. Clint also had a great week due to the end of testing AND he was able to introduce some young folks at Cleveland Road Elementary to the world of Podcasting! Stay tuned to Episode 13S for a short show brought to you from the fine folks at the Cleveland Road Elementary Tech Club. The guys also get into a discussion on Jam Band preference, Chuck Todd, and the amazing Andrew Stillman. Clarke County Schools is switching over to a Stillman creation, Little SIS. Lee was pleasantly surprised to hear it mitigates some of the class creation issues in going from PowerSchool to Google Classroom. Seems like a legit product. Covering Edtech news, the gang covers the booing of Secretary DeVos at a graduation as well as her speech at ASU-GSV. T

It’s the dirty dozen! Lee and Clint are excited to welcome the #edupodfather himself, Jeff Bradbury to the show! Jeff, who is the founder of teachercast.net and a host of myriad of podcasts found at the same site. Jeff details his path to getting teachercast.net going strong for over six years with more than 700 podcasts. Given the Microsoft event was heavily discussed in Episode 11, Lee and Clint get Jeff’s take seeing as he was there in the flesh. After the discussion on Microsoft the guys go into a discussion on the role of leadership in Ed Tech based on an article in Education Week by Benjamin Herold, @BenjaminBHerold. The discourse then goes into different ways to incorporate wrestling into the EdTech conversation. Check us out on Twitter @edtechrewind and find more on Jeff Bradbury from teachercast.net.

Sorry for the later normal drop this week, ladies and gentlemen. Between the combination of illness in the collective Winter/Green households this podcast is going up a little late. That gave the guys enough time to take a look into the latest announcement from #MicrosoftEDU, which happened this past week. Clint and Lee, being two die-hard Google Guys give you their take on the awesomeness. Thank you’s go to #MicrosotEDU and Barb Darrow of Fortune for the inspiration for today’s show. As per usual, though, the show starts off with the guys going through their week. Clint was able to go to a retirement dinner for one of his favorite middle school teachers. Clint mentioned doing an 8th Grade Moden Lyrics/Poetry assignment for this teacher and that brought up the traumatic memory of when 13 year old Lee thought it would be a good idea to do the same type of assignment with the Sir Mix A Lot gem, Baby Got Back. The show quickly derailed, but the guys came up with a way to bring it back with a book concept call

Clint and Lee talk about their week which includes, building a shed, testing, seeing Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, and soccer. The discussion quickly turns to one of the most important films of all time Mr. T’s After school movie special “The Toughest Man in the World”The duo discuss Lee’s home school District Floyd County Schools and their recent recognition as a “Google Reference District” Lee talks about what this means and how they received the distinction as a Google Reference District.

Clint and Lee discuss the implications of the budget projections and the model of companies bundling professional development with their project. Edward James Olmos makes a brie

Lee and Clint are joined on the podcast this week by www.freetech4teachers.com award winning blogger Richard Byrne. The discussion this week starts about a compare and contrasts of Professional Wrestling in New England and the deep south. Clint reviews and discusses seeing Explosions in the Sky at the Georgia Theatre in Athens, GA. Richard discusses the release of Google Earth for Chrome and the implications that it can have in the classroom.

Richard talks about how important it is to have meaningful content paired with virtual reality. Just like anything else in learning, one must have context This leads into a discussion about what is new with the #Microsoft EDU and the answer is no one knows. . . Microsoft designed a really nice flyer, but it is hard to tell what the session is about. Lee was hopeful that Microsoft is

Lee and Clint are back again for Episode 8, E-Holsters and Fanny Packs. The show starts with a discussion on keeping our children alive and healthy followed by a discussion on tech incubators in our respective communities (www.fourathens.com, www.makervillage.org). Apologies to Makervillage for referring to you as the other Makerspace in Rome. Then Lee and Clint pivot into a discussion on e-holsters (eholsters.com). Basically, they are holsters for your electronic devices that are way cooler than putting your devices in a bag. Almost a tech related fanny pack. This seems like an amazing device and we’d love to talk to the people involved behind this master plan. Getting into the news of the week, there is a discussion on the announcement of new Google for Education Innovator applications. Lee tells the story of how he found out he was accepted and the guys talk about the networking opportunities present through Google Trainer and Innovator status.
