In this episode, Dan and Alex rap about the process of collaborating in a constantly connected world, and the fears (and benefits) of sharing "too much" of your story with your students. We also get kind of philosophical about the word "resolutionary" and quote people on Twitter that are smarter than we are. Enjoy!

The One About a Crossover Special: #AppleEDUChat

In this episode, Dan, Zac and Alex discuss recent events that have led to the ongoing conversation surrounding school safety. Keeping our children safe is priority number one - but with so much noise surrounding the discussion itself, how can we possibly get anything accomplished? Our guest this week is Meg Jones - technology integration coach and PhD student who gives us some much needed insight into literacy studies and digital media literacy. We also chat about how the internet and social media have been able to amplify a "pile-on" mentality when it comes to important issues - and how we can help guide the conversation into more meaningful territory. 
You can find Meg Jones on Twitter at @MrsMJ1218.

The One About School Safety

In this episode, Dan and Zac interview Joshua Katz, math teacher from Orange County, Florida and TED speaker of 2014's inspiring "Toxic Culture Of Education" talk. We chat with Josh about what he believes the most toxic parts of our educational thought processes are, and how teachers have basically accepted some of this toxicity upon their own backs.

The One Where Josh Katz Drops A Mic

In this episode, Dan, Zac and Alex are finally back after our hurricane Irma hiatus. We offer our condolences to those negatively effected by hurricanes Irma and Maria. 
We discuss our thoughts on why students, however well-behaved, still act differently online as opposed to their in-person selves. In addition, Zac interviews Daniella Latham of Kahoot to get her thoughts on the formative assessment gaming platform and find out more about what Kahoot is going to be offering in the future.
