  • #30: What's It Like to Be Teaching in Sweden Right Now?
    Nov 1 2020
    If you're teaching in the United States during the pandemic right now, you're likely having the most challenging year of your career--regardless of whether you're teaching in person, remotely, or a hybrid of the two. Without a coordinated federal response to the Covid19 pandemic in the United States, states are largely on their own to figure out how to send students, teachers, and staff back to school safely. But what's it like teaching in other countries?  Sandy Bansal, lead computer science teacher at Amerikanska Gymnasiet in Gothenburg, Sweden returns to the podcast.

  • #29 The Lost Episode: Thomas Kearns
    Sep 14 2020
    Back in March 2020, I sat down with Thomas Kearns to record this episode. While the pandemic was raging through Washington and New York state, it still hadn’t reached the Midwest. A few days after we recorded this episode, the pandemic reached the Midwest and everything changed. This episode got lost in the chaos and stress of that time, but I am thrilled to finally release it.  Thomas Kearns (LinkedIn) is founder of Space to Play, Tortus, and Bitspace. He was a professor and Director fo Design Communication at Illinois Institute of Technology and is currently a Digital Innovation Strategist at Perkins&Will.
