In this episode of Pop Pedagogy, Melissa and Nichole break down Season 1, Episode 4 of Abbott Elementary, where new technology hits the classroom with zero training and maximum chaos.

They explore the generational tensions between teachers, the pitfalls of top-down tech implementation, and what happens when enthusiasm meets experience. They also dig into a subplot about teaching local history and how culturally responsive education is often overlooked, or watered down, in today's schools.

Expect laughs, critical insights, and a few ice cream metaphors as we ask: What makes a teacher effective? And is tech really the solution to every classroom challenge?
