Featured Content (8:31)

I was listening to a recent episode of Simon Sinek's podcast, A Bit of Optimism, and his guest was Francesca Hogi, a love and life coach. As a love coach, she teaches single people how to transcend their romantic challenges and find true love. As a life coach, she teaches rebels and seekers to love their lives truly.

You might be thinking, "What do a love and life coach have to do with education technology?" or "Is everything OK in your marriage Chris?" Stick with me. AND...everything is fine with Katelyn and me.

  • Dating is an Experiment / EdTech is an Experiment
  • Dating has been revolutionized by technology / Education is being revolutionized by technology
  • Better dates will lead to better relationships / Trying more technology and finding what works for you will lead to better integration
  • No bad dates / No bad tech - what's your approach? Approach all your tech with the best intentions and you will grow when you use technology. Your students will grow each time they work with technology. You will learn what tools don't meet your needs and you will develop a healthy technology integration mindset.

During Simon and Francesca's conversation, she talked about how to be a better dater and go on better dates. This directly mimics your approach to your relationship with education technology and what it should look like.

House of #EdTech VIP (16:25)

In the ever-evolving landscape of classrooms and digital tools, House of #EdTech serves as a grounded conversation about what actually works. Hosted by educator Christopher J. Nesi, this podcast moves beyond simple tool reviews to examine the practical integration of technology with effective teaching strategies. Each episode feels like a collegial chat, where Chris and his guests-often fellow teachers and innovators-break down the latest trends, dissect new platforms, and share honest reflections on their successes and setbacks in real educational settings. The focus is squarely on actionable ideas that can enhance instruction, streamline workflow, and ultimately support student learning. It’s a resource built for the daily realities of teaching, whether you’re looking to refine a single technique or reimagine your approach to edtech. The discussions are rooted in experience, making complex topics accessible and immediately relevant. You’ll find a consistent emphasis on the human element behind the screens, exploring how technology can foster connection and creativity rather than replace it. Tune in for a thoughtful, no-nonsense take on navigating the intersection of education and modern tools. This is a podcast dedicated to the practitioners in the field, offering a blend of inspiration and practical how-to guidance that acknowledges both the potential and the pitfalls of bringing tech into learning spaces.
