- 35: Talking Tech, Learning and Teaching with Erick Ofgang, Senior Writer at Tech & Learning
On the 35th episode of EdUp EdTech, I had the pleasure of chatting with Erik Ofgang, Senior Writer at Tech & Learning. In this episode, Erik and I talk about teaching during Covid, his love for writing in the field of education, and also shares an interesting story about how his dog ate his students' homework. Erik is a down-to-earth, passionate, and insightful human who wants to share fabulous resources with educators and faculty that engage students and improve learning experiences.
More About Erik (from his LinkedIn bio)
I'm an educator, journalist, author, and recovering PowerPoint user. My writing has appeared in the Washington Post, The Atlantic, Tablet Magazine, Yankee Magazine, Thrillist, and many other publications. My most recent book, "The Good Vices: From Beer to Sex, The Surprising Truth About What's Actually Good for You," was published by Penguin Random House.
I’m currently the senior writer at Tech & Learning and a faculty mentor in Western Connecticut State University’s MFA in Creative and Professional writing program. I was previously a senior writer at Connecticut Magazine and an adjunct professor at Mercy College, Quinnipiac University, and Bridgeport University.Throughout my career, I have been obsessed with the root of knowledge — how we know what we know. This has led me down many rabbit holes ranging from investigating the true cause of the Hartford circus fire for Connecticut Magazine or debunking generations of hamburger history lies with new documentation for the Washington Post.Check out Tech & Learning and subscribe to all their fabulous newsletters: Tech & Learning

On the 33rd episode of EdUp EdTech, I got to chat with Nicolò Bates, the founder, and CEO of TEDU. During this episode, we discuss how TEDU was created to be a one-stop place for students to find all of the academic resources available to them. They want to ensure that no student is without access to the help they need. They’ve recently partnered with the International Center for Supplemental Instruction to continue to prioritize students with their learning support system. More About Nicolò Nicolò used to dream about working on Wall Street and took a job in finance out of college but found he always wanted to solve a problem that he saw on his campus at the University of Miami. He saw that a lot of academic resources were not available to students during the evening when a lot of students were studying. He saw this as an opportunity and a few years later, created TEDU.
