I think we are going to give this whole podcast thing a shot! My hope is to release regular content (once a week or every other) talking about the latest and greatest things in EdTech. I will talk about what I've added to EdTech Academy and I'd love to have some guests on the show as well! If you're interested in being a guest on the show, please send me an email at ronnie.williams@greenbush.org
