Saddle up your horse and listen to ideas about education today no matter the place it gets to happen.

Jump on the trail with James and Mia as they ponder how Chatbots could be used to support teachers and student learning. 

A holiday message from CowboyED's James and Mia. We are so thankful for our listeners. We hope you have a chance to relax on the holiday break. Happy New Year!

Just like there are many trails to ride across the prairie, there are many pathways through education. Not all learners are college-bound, but that might just be the edge they are looking for! James and Mia explore educational pathways in every which way they go. 

Ride the trail with James and Mia as they discuss the varying definitions of Digital Literacy and where it belongs in education. 

Even though it sounds like it could be an ailment of one of the horses, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are a growing thing in our society. What are they? And, what do they have to do with education? James and Mia ask these very questions while they discuss NFTs. An NTF is a unique digital artifact that contains data. Some of the elements might be familiar to educators. The artifact might be like a digital badge, the data could be like a transcript or a testing report. But, so many questions! How does it work? What can it do for teachers? How could it work successfully in education? Does it need to? Jump in the saddle for a flurry of discussion about NFTs. 

How is burnout impacting your educational experience? It seems like everyone in education is tired and ready for a break. Take a ride with us to talk about teachers' and students' needs. 

Join the ride with our guests Ashleigh and Yuri to discuss their expectations of high school in 2021.
