Thank you to Julie Greller for naming the House of #EdTech in her recent blog post, “The Best 30 Technology and Education Podcasts.“
I also want to give a shout out and recognize Jessica Runtz, a middle school Latin teacher, from NC, that recently started a blog with a gentle nudge from me. Her first post shares her reasons for becoming a teacher and it’s a great read. Check it out here!
