Welcome to Learning Through Technology (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/learning-through-technology/id1713365771) , a K 12 ed Tech podcast brought to you by STS Education. We strive to be the bridge that connects communities of educators so that they can fulfill the promise of learning through technology. Join us every other week as we connect with education leaders who share their deep experiences with the education and technology topics you are grappling with in your own schools and districts. Each interview is designed to bring you tangible ideas you can start using tomorrow. This special episode has your hosts, Alex and Bob, getting philosophical and riffing on whether it’s possible to have a revolution in education and, if so, what that revolution would look like. Some of the talking points we cover include: • The importance of data in education • Revolutionizing education with technology • Technology’s role in teaching • The cultural revolution in education • The need to reward high-quality educators Alex has worn multiple hats during his career in education, from teacher to technology director and founder of Educational Collaborators. He founded Educational Collaborators as a way to bring the most relevant EdTech Consulting and Professional Development available to schools across the globe. That vision was expanded when he combined forces with Pacific OneSource. Bob and his team are revolutionizing how we think about technology services within the American K-12 education system. The shared services model he created for IT support is ingenious in that it leverages a team of elite, experienced professionals to service a broad customer base. This results in a pointed and streamlined approach, ultimately driving down costs for districts by sharing talented support staff members. Further, Bob brings years of experience as an IT Director to the table, resulting in expertise in industry trends.  We’d like to give a huge shout-out to STS Education for sponsoring our podcast.
