Episode 8.01 Closing the Loop 

Greetings and Welcome to the final Potentially Useful episode of the TCAPSLoop Podcast. Danelle Brostrom and I attempted to not be excessively maudlin and succeeded to some extent as we looked back on 8 years of potentially useful podcasting while "closing the Loop".

Moment of Zen:

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.” ― Lucius Annaeus Seneca 

The Rundown:

Reflections On A Project 

Why it Started

A fun, Innovative PD vehicle to share best practices with edtech.

  • Initial concept included a full multimedia project inspired by Grantland.com but downsized within the first year due to unrealistic expectations of an already over worked team. Some articles from Stephie Luyt and David Noller can still be found on Medium.com

  • Podcasts allowed for a long form conversation to help demystify technology for our educators and allow for thought provoking discussion from our amazing team of Edtech experts.

    By the Numbers:

    Number of years - 8; TCAPSLoop started podcasting early 2016. TCAPSLoop Weekly #1 was March 2017

  • Number of episodes - OVER 200!!!!!

    Highlights:

    Helped inspire and/or launch at least 3 other edtech podcasts (remember when we were TRENDING on apple podcasts????)

  • Favorite special guests

    Final Thoughts:

    • Podcast series will still remain out in the ether for people to listen, reflect, share

  • Tech tools come and go. Good teaching is timeless.

    Pause for people. Put down the device. Go outside.
