  • Woah!

    This show is great, I listened to just one podcast. Innovation Inside the Box With George Couros, and it was amazing. It touched on a lot of different topics but the one that stuck out was how tech isn’t the end all be all in terms of the best teaching/learning strategy, sometimes that will always be human aided.
