Edtech podcast, minus the tech talk
NSW Department of Education tech website Technology 4 Learning is home to the Virtual Staffroom podcast, a fantastic resource for those educators and teachers who have an interest in edtech but may lack a technology background.
Hosted by three 'non-techie teachers', the podcast promises to inspire and inform without the 'geek speak'.
According to the podcast website, each episode covers a range of topics including the latest news and technology, as well as stories from the trenches and in-depth discussions with industry experts. There's even provision for answering questions from listeners.
The team releases a new episode every two weeks. Visit the website to listen or download transcripts of past eps.
