[upbeat music] Hello there and welcome to today's episode of the Easy Ed Tech Podcast.

If you wanna make the most of education technology, AKA ed tech, well, you are in the right place.

My goal has always been to help make ed tech easier and give you ideas you can try yourself, share with a colleague, or bookmark for later in the school year.

Every Tuesday here on the Easy Ed Tech Podcast, you'll hear stories from my time in the classroom, the work I do now with schools and districts, and my travels to different ed tech events.

Get ready for solo episodes where I share some quick tips and stories, and interviews full of practical ideas and stories from new guests each month.

You'll find it in the episode description or the summary area where you're listening to this podcast, or you can find every episode and all of the resources we mention by going to classtechtips.com/podcast, or by going to classtechtips.com and just clicking on the Easy Ed Tech Podcast button at the top of the page.
