The Freshly Sharpened podcast is a collaboration of Andy Yauchler, Rick DeCarr and Michael Sheridan, three Digital Learning Coaches in upstate New York.
New episodes twice a month - check back every other Friday for the latest drop!
In our fifth season, we jump into pressing ed-tech issues—such as managing student screen time, re-evaluating classroom Chromebook usage, and navigating the rise of AI—while examining the crucial balance between digital platforms and human-to-human learning interactions. Through our normal banter, we analyze practical pedagogical strategies to help schools ensure technology serves a clear, impactful purpose rather than acting as a substitute for authentic instruction.
