Join Andrea Keller and Ginger Lewman as they have a great conversation with the folks who welcomed Podstock into their own home town of El Paso, Texas. Tim Holt, Director of Instructional Technology at El Paso ISD, and Kimberly Wright, former 4th grade teacher in El Paso ISD, share what it was like recreating their own Podstock event, 750 miles away from the original Podstock in Wichita, Kansas.

In this episode Ginger Lewman and Andrea Keller visit  with Kevin Honeycutt about the birth of PodStock.

PodStock is an educational movement, a call to arms for educators who want to use technology to empower learning. While the name focuses on podcasting, it is only one dimension of the movement. Taking a cue from Woodstock, PodStockers seek to change the world and bask in the glow of the possible. PodStockers are hopeful realists who get by with a little help from their friends. People come to PodStock from all over the country, and conference goers are encouraged to capture their journey to Wichita, take their learning back home, and share it on the network and around the world.
