12: 'They Will Take Those Ideas Back and Improve Their Own Code.' with Kane Pittard

In this episode I had an insightful discussion with Kane Pittard. Kane is a Humanities and computer science teacher from Butler College in Butler, WA. He is responsible for the creation and ongoing development of the Butler College IT teaching program. Kane’s passion is using digital learning across all learning areas. Previous to becoming a teacher in 2013, he worked as a systems administrator and owned computer consulting business.

I would to thank Kane for taking time away from his family, work, and fighting the time difference to talk with me on the podcast.
