I know this one is a bit late, but this was the first chance I had to record and edit the audio. Enjoy and let me know what you think about the episode, the format, or the idea in general.

No guest needed today. I look at a few different topics and things on my mind. First is a look at Microsoft Teams and the role it can play in a classroom. Second I’ll be talking about the case of the missing iPads in Kanawha County, WV (WSAZ News story – http://tinyurl.com/KCiPads). I’m going to look at a phishing attempt that was attempted on myself and share the recording of the voicemail they left. I’ll be sharing three of my favorite educational podcasts that I’m listening to currently (Google Teacher Tribe, PodcastPD, and The Wired Educator Podcast). Finally I’ll be closing up with a look at a few upcoming event that I have an interest in (#WVEdChat Moderator Search and Schedule, International Podcast Day, and EdCamp Columbus).
