Will and Josh tackle the tricky idea about proctoring software: is it good or not? Should we use it? This conversation is fun and hopefully challenging for all of us. Then, we open up the conversation about FlipGrid, a completely free-to-use video tool that works wonders for short-form video instruction. For more information on these tools and our conversation, check out the episode page here.

Episode 2 of Season 2 brings us an exhilarating conversation with our good friend and colleague, Glen Irvin. Glen is a bigger nerd than us only because he's been doing it a bit longer. Our conversation focuses on the relationship between EdTech in K12 and Higher Ed. Glen's insights help us see what's so different on the K12 side, but ultimately how most of us operate on the same rules of EdTech integration. Lastly, Glen gives us his top tech tool, and you know it's one of the HiTech team's favorites: Nearpod. For more information on these tools and our conversation, check out the episode page here.

Make sure to follow Glen in all of his spheres!

We set out to answer the question, "How can a course site enhance learning?" Josh and I have been using Learning Management Systems as students and as professionals for quite some time. We think they work; we see how they benefit the learning process. Listen in to see if you agree. Afterwards, we discuss the Wizer app and how it can change your worksheet experience. For more information on these tools and our conversation, check out the episode page here.

In round two of our discussion on gamification, we open up several real examples of instructors using games or gamification strategies in their classrooms. Hopefully these examples provide insights into how gamification can be a one-off or semester-long experience. After that, we skip a formal app to talk about two specific video games and how they work in education. For more information on these tools and our conversation, check out the episode page here.

In our interview with VoiceThread's Steve Muth, we shared many great ideas and thoughts about the impact of tech on teaching and learning. However, Steve said something that resonated with us: we need to "make the technology disappear" when it comes to integration into the teaching and learning process. Check out this two-part conversation where we investigate what this means and why it is so important. For more information on these tools and our conversation, check out the episode page here.
