Practical Ed Tech Podcast #8 Featuring Dr. Beth Holland

At the end of the last episode of the Practical Ed Tech Podcast I mentioned that I had recently recorded a great conversation that I had with Dr. Beth Holland. That recording is now available as episode #8 of the Practical Ed Tech Podcast.

In the episode Beth and I talked about her work at COSN around issues of digital equity and what digital equity means in schools. Because I want listeners to know a bit more about my guests than just their professional work, Beth and I also talked about stand-up paddleboarding and her burgeoning stand-up paddleboard racing career. It was a fun conversation and I hope that you enjoy it as much as we did.
