My Dad, John Nesi, first appeared on episode 100 of the podcast and so many of you reached out with your compliments about our conversation so I decided to bring him back into the studio for another education conversation.
UPDATE: THIS SKILL WAS RETIRED IN EARLY 2020.
I am excited to announce that I have developed and have released an Amazon Alexa Skill for the House of EdTech! This is, for all intents and purposes, a new podcast exclusive to the Amazon platform. If you don’t have an Amazon device I’m sorry, but I am currently working on another distribution option to accommodate all AI users.
I’m calling this the House of #EdTech 60 Sec Rec. In 60 seconds you will get a new edtech recommendation, 5 days per week Monday-Friday. I may also include other bite-size nuggets of edtech awesomeness too!
New content will start to publish on April 30th, 2018. If you’re listening to this after April 30, 2018, enable the skill and you will be able to jump right in.
The way I have it set-up you will always be able to listen to the 5 most recent briefings. After you’ve heard some please let me know what you think or if you have an idea for other content you would like to get in this way please go chrisnesi.com/feedback and let me know.
One last thing, if you have something you would like to recommend then send me 30-45 seconds of audio and I would be happy to feature you!

The bulk of our conversation revolves around block scheduling. Dad shares his school/district’s 3-year planning that is about to go into effect beginning in September 2018. His school, Marlboro (NJ) HS, and the Freehold Regional School District have chosen a rotating block schedule.
