Today’s show is all about Claudio Enriquez, a teacher of 30 years who keeps up with all the new things education brings and a single dad of two boys, hence his branding name “Two Boys and a Dad Productions”.  He’s been a mentor teacher, a bilingual resource teacher, a literacy coach, taught at the university level, taught grades 1-4 and is currently a 3rd grade teacher! Phew! What a variety of experiences!  He’s always learning and trying new things and thinks teachers should do the same to keep up in their careers.

His school district provided him with a Chromebook cart to integrate technology into his classroom and as a Mac user, he was eager and motivated to figure it all out.  Due to this change, he has products on Teachers Pay Teachers (TpT) such as Google Slides and has been working on converting his current products to Google Slides, under the “Google Apps Ready” category on his TpT store.  He also offers others products such as: math, graphic organizers, bilingual Spanish, back to school, English Lang. Arts, interactive digital notebooks, science, social studies and vocabulary.

While it’s hard to find time to work on TpT as a single dad and teacher, listen in as he provides some time saving tips and advice for new teacher-authors.  Find out how he stands out amongst the numerous TpT sellers! And what does he mean by “your students don’t have to like you, you’re the teacher and you’re not there to be their friend.”?  He recommends Pinterest to teachers and teacher authors as there are so many wonderful ideas to share with others! Enjoy!
