Our Wired Educator Squad Has Been Hard at Work!
Welcome Back!
I hope your new school year is off to a great year. This is going to be our best year in education. Thank you for saying YES! Thank you for returning to education. I still believe education is the noblest and most worthwhile professions to pursue. You are part of an elite group of difference-makers. Thank you. We hope to help you with a variety of resources:
The Wired Educator Podcast
The Wired Educator Podcast returns this week with a brand new season with episode 233, an interview with Apple Distinguished Educator, Kristen Brooks. Podcast host, Kelly Croy, discusses how Kristen Brooks is able to help teachers rock iPad use in any classroom. Their conversation includes a lot about the Apple Distinguished Educator program and other areas of education. What a fun pair and conversation. Loaded with takeaways. Look for that episode this week.
#WiredWednesday Chats
I don’t know if you still call it Twitter or ‘X’ but we are hosting the acclaimed #wiredwednesday Twitter Chats every other Wednesday for 30 minutes. This Wednesday, September 13th at 9PM is our first Twitter Chat of the year! It is being hosted by Jason Kathman and Julie Willcott. The topic is: Social Media’s Impact on Teaching and Learning.

Now Hiring Two Interns!
Wired Educator is looking for two interns to help us grow. First, we are looking for an intern with a unique set of skills using GarageBand editing, and a great understanding of quality sound to use auphonic.com, Libsyn and some other tools to help take Kelly’s recordings and publish them. A person of the highest integrity to handle these important resources. Second, we are looking for a social media intern to keep all of our creations in the eyes of educators and leaders. Someone to share out old episodes and new. Someone to infiltrate other edu circles and share with them the great work of Wired Educator. Interested? Contact Kelly.
