Join us in The Garden Studio of Teacher’s Podcast for this

Resource- and News-Packed Episode.

Kathy and Mark gather on a hot summer day to share advances in podcasting, art and technology for our schools exclusively for their podcast audience. You are the first to learn that McGraw-Hill Education has partnered with us to sponsor our 3rd annual Podcast contest in order to recognize teacher achievement and provide tremendous prizes for our winners.

Virtual schools and virtualization also top our discussion as examine current trends and advances in technology for school implementation and reach.

Then the focus turns to opportunities for Art and Design in the world of Web 2.0 and how it reaches into the lives of learners and learning in ways we never could have before. Mark shares insight from his newest book- and we are the first to get the inside look of this newest ISTE publication: released just this week.
