In this replay episode from June, 2022 the number one listened to episode of the the year. Jeff reflects on the past year of shifting schools and how this conversation about cell phones is a microcosm for the educational shift at large we find ourselves in.

Jeff shares a snipet from his 2019 conversation with Microsoft around cell phones in the classroom and education at large. You can watch the full interviwe with jeff at this link.

This has been an incredible year for Shifting Schools. We went through a lot of transitions this year. From new album art and website logos from Chrissy to Tricia becoming a full time co-host on the podcast and taking on the role of Creative Content Extraordinaire. I'm happy to announce that Tricia and I will continue working together in 2023. How she finds time to do everything she's involved in still blows me away. From her own podcast and newsletter Be A Better Ally to her new podcast Unhinged Collaboration. Her dedication to educators, education, students and the LGBTQ+ community at large is humbling to say the least. If you are not following Tricia on your social network of choice or have not added the Be A Better Alley and Unhinged Collaboration podcasts to your podcast app. You should do so as you start the new year.

Shifting Schools also became a top 10 podcast in K12 Education globally with Australia and Canada coming in at the top 2 countries our podcast is listened to outside of the U.S. We cannot thank you, our loyal listeners, enough for making this all possible. Thank you for your dedication to your students and to your craft as an educator.

That brings me to today's reply episode. Our #1 listened to episode of 2022 will be no surprise I'm guessing to most of you as it deals with cell phones in the classroom. Episode 216 released on June 27th in which Tricia and I talk with our good friend Tyler Rablin about Cell Phones in the classroom.

Happy New Year Everyone!
