StartEdUp Podcast

What happens when a teacher encourages social media in the curriculum- to use it as a tool for amplification?

Answer: you get the class, "Disruptive Innovation Through Social Media."

In this podcast we interview Flint Hill's very own Nate Green (Twitter: @MrShakedown) and his student Tre Mongo (@ThisIsOldNow) and discuss why this class is necessary to transform our students from passive observers to active participators in society.
