Is it time for educators to reinvent their careers by stepping into the ed tech realm, or should they take their talents to a whole new industry? I'm Zee Arnold, a teacher of 15 years and now a UX researcher, stirring up the conversation around this pivotal career crossroads. With a pulse on the unique skills teachers bring to the table, I dissect the powerful combination of advocacy and empathy that educators possess, and how that translates into a competitive edge in the educational technology landscape. 

As your guide on this career-shifting journey, I unpack the real-world impact you've made in the classroom and how it positions you for success in creating meaningful and user-friendly learning platforms. From advocating for student needs to understanding the nuances of classroom dynamics, I illuminate why your background equips you for roles in ed tech that are hungry for genuine educational expertise. If you're considering a career switch and wondering where your next step should lead, this brief conversation will offer you the insights to make that decision with confidence.
