Join Erich and Ryan as they discuss a little technology with Todd Flory.  Though Todd does use a lot of technology as a teacher, the episode goes far deeper than the technology alone.  He discusses his teaching pedagogy and how he uses technology to enhance it.  A few of our favorite components are how he uses a strategy known as genius hour to get the students activated into the unit, his design thinking strategy for teaching the content, and how he uses his projects to create lasting learning with the students by personalizing the learning and developing empathy.

Shout out to @tlceducate for the tweet of the week.  Special thanks to Danny Wilks (@dwilkssea) for the kind words about Episode 15.
