My trip to #Techlandia

The internet is a really cool thing. And not just the internet. iPads, Chromebooks, Google....

... Ok, so it basically breaks down to two things. Apple and Google make the internet worth internetting (or at least as far as I'm concerned). Which leads me to...

Podcasts



Originally a native part of iTunes back in 2005, and more recently bolstered by platforms such as Google Hangouts, the podcast has come a long way. They are no longer strictly audio, and capable of far more than the one-man one-mic style. There are a great number of educators out there putting on awesome shows. One such show is Techlandia.

Alison Anderson,  Curt Rees, and Jon "iPadSammy" Samuelson put on a very well-run, fun podcast. Streamed live on YouTube via a Google Hangout and posted as audio-only shortly after. I was stoked when they asked me to be on it (these are three people you should be following on the twitters if you aren't already).

Recently back from ASCD and recovering from the flu and bronchitis, here is my brief moment of internet fame on Techlandia...

I am amazed at educators like Alison, Curt, and Sammy who take the time to connect folks in the way they do. Techlandia was a blast to be a part of and I can't thank those three folks enough for putting on such a high quality show, with plenty of laughs alongside learning. Good stuff.


If you haven't heard of or seen Techlandia, definitely check them out, it's time well spent.
