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!

I have also been nominated for 2014 Bammy! Award. I have been nominated in the category of “Talk Show Host” for my work on this very podcast. If you have enjoyed what I’m doing and would like to support this nomination please click here to vote for me.
