How we got from English to Ed Tech. With Andrea Flores and Ben Naismith
B
29:24Ben NaismithGUEST
Yeah, I mean, I guess I have the boilerplate preface that a lot of it is... pure luck some of it is privilege as well so there are a combination of like factors outside your control so you know like guaranteed way and I also have as a result I have massive like survivor bias in this case that I'm giving this advice because I have my current job but I could just as easily not have it so and there was no one right or wrong answer but so this is that sort of caveat in mind.
B
30:00Ben NaismithGUEST
Um, what I think landed me, my work and that I observe in a lot of my colleagues is one, especially if the language teachers is being able to transfer their skills.
B
30:11Ben NaismithGUEST
So again, Andrew said like a lot of those, those skills from being a language teacher are super applicable in a wide range of contexts related to pedagogy and using those related to working with learners.
B
30:24Ben NaismithGUEST
Um, being able to translate challenging, complex topics into manageable chunks of information and in language that people can understand or are interested in.
