This Week with EdSurge

Where and how exactly does the conversation between educators and entrepreneurs go awry? And when it does, is there anything we can do to fix it?

We’ve got a gem of a interview for you this week. To hear what’s been going on at Google, one of edtech’s big kahunas, we sat down with Google Education evangelist Jaime Casap, and Jonathan Rochelle, Google Education Product Manager and a co-founder of Google Drive. Yeah, that’s no small feat. You’ll hear their thoughts on the origin of Google’s Education products, equity, and whether Google will eventually pull out of the education game at some point. Plus, our weekly roundup of the edtech news!

There's a lot going on at ISTE. A very tired Mary Jo and Michael break down what they saw on their first day of ISTE.

(Correction: In our description of the ISTE pitch fest winners, we name Mathbreakers as one of the four finalists. The company that was selected to go to the finals, and that is described in the podcast, is Mathspace; Mathbreakers did not compete in the pitch fest.)
