Thanksgiving is upon us and like most people each year, we here at TechSmith want to think about what we’re thankful for. This episode of Chalkstar is a little different: we’re having a Thanksgiving special. I put out a call for teachers to share their #eduthanks for the show. Amid the chaos of teaching, grading, and policy, there is a lot to be thankful for in education. Today, we’re going to highlight those moments. Each response you hear are from teachers, read by colleagues at TechSmith. You can see the teachers’ names and their TechSmith reader below.
Other responses we couldn’t get into today’s episode:
I am Thankful for a great school with a great culture, and a great PLN that gives me pick-me up’s every week.
– Emmy Ryder
For my awesome PLN, puppets, and the arrival of the edutriplets
– Sam Patue and Wokka
Thanks for the constant connection to some of the best education content a connected educator could ask for. #eduthanks
– Angelique
A special note on music: Other than the title music, today’s show features music from Josh Woodward, a musician who has made his career by giving his music away for free, only taking donations. If you like what you hear, head over to www.joshwoodward.com and listen to his other work and leave him a gift for sharing so openly.
