Dr. Greg Francom came to teaching through four degrees, four universities, a lifelong faith community, and a conviction that media and technology are most valuable when they help people learn. Today, as a Clinical Professor in the Department of Technology, Leadership, and Design at Mississippi State University, he is the author of the first ever multi-platform interactive textbook for educational technology.

In this conversation with host Dr. Shannon Harmon, Greg reflects on project-based teaching and what it looks like to keep innovating with technology in the middle of a long career. He shares how project-based learning creates space for students to personalize their own learning, what a mid-career light bulb moment taught him about his relationship with students, and why changing one thing at a time might be the most sustainable innovation strategy there is.

If you are somewhere in the middle of your teaching career and wondering how to keep growing, this conversation is for you.
