Katherine Apel, a 6th grade history teacher at Opelika Middle School, joins the show for the second week of our eduction series to share classroom experiences. In an age of digital distraction, Katherine talks about helping her students how to be present and what she has learned in her first year teaching. Katherine, Sam, and Garrett all share some of their middle school experiences.
