Techlandia Educational Radio

Scott Bedley and Jon Samuelson are the Grumpy Old Teachers. Join us as we give you a couple of websites, a couple of good things, and a couple of rants from the world of teaching. Some educational podcast talk about education, the Grumpy Old Teachers are actually out there teaching.

Scott Bedley @scotteach and Jon Samuelson @jonsamuelson give you a couple of websites to try with students. Share some winning moments from the Hour of Code. Rant about silly blog posts and share some reflections on 2020.

The first episode left people unsatisfied. The word was out that there needed to be a co-host. Scott Bedley answered the call. In this episode, we give you an app, a website for math, Hour of Code ideas, and a tribute to Betsy DeVos.

Is this new? Is it old? Do we need this? Who knows?

It's iPadsammy back to share an app, a good thing, a rant, and thoughts on pop culture.

Give it a like if you want more or we will use the cricket sound effects and send this podcast into retirement.

For now, it's BACK!
