Technology on the go
"Technology on the go" is a podcast channel created by Camila Sousa and Ana Maria Menezes, two educators fascinated by technology, one in Chicago and the other in Brazil. Both presenters intend to use this space to talk to different teachers about how they have been integrating technology to their classes. A podcast created by teachers for teachers.
