Hi I am one of the podcast members students in 8th grade I don't want to share his information but hopefully they know who I'm talking about.i found this podcast to be informational and descriptive!
After leaving the classroom a year ago, this podcast keeps me engaged with trends, and honestly, it makes me miss teaching. It’s a must-listen.
Even though Jeff specifically focussed on USA, unsurprisingly, I still find myself loving when the podcast appears in my list.
The issues facing higher education in the USA are somewhat similar and certainly student behaviour and learning is to that I face after 25 years in Australian higher education, and I always am left learning and thinking.
Thank you for this excellent podcast.
Jeff and other EdSurge editors are clearly putting in a lot of effort when it comes to their topics and experts. A great listen for leaders in the education space!
I listen to this podcast on my way to work. I love it! As an instructional coach for digital learning, it is like free PD to keep up to date with the latest in technology in the classroom!
