The pilot: From Overhead Projectors to Zoom: Navigating EdTech in a Post-2020 Classroom
<div>Remember those days when your biggest tech worry in the classroom was the overhead projector bulb burning out? Cue 2020, and our world turned upside down, with desktop computers turning into expensive paperweights and Zoom becoming our new homeroom. Welcome to our very first episode of EdTechTherapy, where Pat and I, Melanie, invite you to pull up a virtual chair and join our impromptu Applebee's therapy sessions-turned-podcast. We're sharing the laughs, the struggles, and the "aha" moments from our combined three decades in the ed tech trenches. This isn't just about us, though; it's about you, the educators out there who transformed crisis into connection and learned a few things the hard way—just like I did with my infamous 'wall of shame.'<br/><br/>From the chaos that was remote learning to the heartwarming triumphs that followed, our show peels back the curtain on the real-life tech adventures occurring behind school doors. I'll never live down the 80 desktops I ordered pre-pandemic, but hey, we all have our moments, right? So, whether you're a tech veteran or a teacher who just learned how to share your screen without a hitch, this is the place to share your voice and hear ours, too. Come for the ed tech support, stay for the camaraderie and the chance to finally feel seen in a world where the next tech hurdle is just a classroom away. Grab your headphones—we're tackling the nitty-gritty of ed tech life, one story at a time.<br/><br/></div>
