The EDTech Unpacked Podcast

Join Aaron Long and Desmond Suarez on this journey as we grow and learn together!

Here’s a preview of the first four episodes:

Teachers do so many innovative things in their classrooms! It is our goal to capture and share that greatness, especially with all things EdTech, so we can elevate our teaching together! The EDTech Unpacked Podcast is intentional about demonstrating specific ways teachers are using technology in their classrooms to enhance learning and deepen their connection with their students. We love celebrating amazing, legendary teachers who might get overwhelmed with the idea of using technology in their classrooms but are passionate about being great teachers. Technology shouldn’t be used for everything, but when it is used right, it has the power to engage students and greatly enhance their learning experience! We think that you are awesome, and we invite you to join us on the journey as we unpack the tech!
