The Dash Podcast goes global. I’m excited to bring our first international Educator, South Africa’s STEM man of the year for his work training educators how to use technology in the classroom.

Linford, still only 27 years old, started off in the classroom, but saw an opportunity to train teachers to use cell phones, WhatsApp, smart boards and more.

He grew up in a rural area and it’s his hardship that made him want to give back. He saw a deficit and wanted to play his part. This is what the Dash Podcast is all about.
