- Thanks for feedback:
- Lindsey James (@lindzmj) – Audio feedback about EdPuzzle (ep 60)
- iTunes: I listen to this podcast for specific takeaways I can use in my classroom that day or the next day. Podcasts in general are sometimes stressful for me because there is allot of “busy talk” and “chit chat”. I love how this podcast stays on topic, gets to the point, gets you information quick, and gives specific ideas. Love it!
