The Edtech Throwdown podcast (originally GotTechED the Podcast) was created in 2018 by Nick Johnson and Eric Guise with one, singular goal: to provide quality, tech-centric professional development (PD) to busy teachers on the move. As educators who have always been passionate about PD, Nick and Guise have attended and created hundreds of hours of professional learning experiences for teachers, but there has always been one problem ... time! Attending full-day workshops and conferences is difficult and stressful due to missed class time and added prep. With the Edtech Thowdown, Nick and Guise hope to provide busy teachers a way to access educational PD at their convenience.Edtech Throwdown 2018-Present 個人的成功

    12 Months of Impact-The Ultimate Student Engagement Roadmap
    2026/06/29
    Edtech Throwdown Episode 218: 12 Months of Impact: The Ultimate Student Engagement Roadmap Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown. This is Episode 218 called 12 Months of Impact: The Ultimate Student Engagement Roadmap. In this episode we’ll talk about heritage and awareness month celebrations as the driving force behind meaningful and engaging lessons. Make your projects timely and more impactful with these creative ideas. This is another episode you don’t want to miss, check it out.Segment 1:I recently was clicking around Canva and saw that april? Is national poetry month and that they were sponsoring a contest where students had to make a visual representation of a poem of their choice and submit it to the competition. Got me thinking … we have 12 months in each year, why not take advantage of them for classroom projects!General tip - research for competitions a few months before and then require your students participate as part of your class.Segment 2:September: Hispanic Heritage Month(Sept 15 – Oct 15)The Project:"Mosaic of Many Lands"The Goal:Students explore the diverse countries that make up Hispanic heritage. Each student or small group creates a "travel brochure" for a specific country, focusing on food, music, and traditions that have influenced global culture. Tailor it to your content area by asking for specific types of items to be featured in the brochure.Tech extension: CanvaOctober: National Arts & Humanities MonthThe Project:"The Community Story-Walk"The Goal:Students write a collaborative story where each person contributes one sentence and one illustration. Choose the topic of the story to fit your curriculum. The final story is posted page-by-page along a hallway or fence, allowing others to "walk" through the narrative.Tech extension: Boomwriter,Storyboardthat,bookcreatorNovember: Native American Heritage MonthThe Project:"Land Acknowledgement & Ecology Map"The Goal:Students research the Indigenous tribes original to their specific geographic area. They create a map that focuses on the natural landmarks (rivers, flora, fauna, geological features) that were historically significant to those tribes, connecting history with the environment.Tech side: Make it interactive with QR code audio narrations,thinklinkDecember: Universal Human Rights MonthThe Project:"The Kindness Advent Calendar"The Goal:The group creates a countdown to the end of the year where every day reveals a small, "no-cost" act of service (e.g., "Write a thank-you note to a custodian," or "Invite someone new to sit with you").Tech extension: Film some of the acts being completed and edit them into a large social media inspired videoWeVideo,Canva VideoGoogle VidsJanuary: National Mentoring MonthThe Project:"The Advice Exchange"The Goal:Students are paired with someone from a different grade level (older or younger). They create a "Survival Guide" for their current grade or a "Letter to My Future Self" to share with their partner, fostering a culture of peer-to-peer support.TIME CAPSULETech extension: Turn this into a lesson on AI ethics. Ask an approved edtech tool to generate these prompts before students begin. Then ask the Ss to discuss what they notice. They should see that the AI tool makes up information that it can’t find.February: Black History MonthThe Project:"The Unsung Heroes Podcast"The Goal:Students research a Black figure who isn't typically featured in standard textbooks (inventors, local community leaders, or lesser-known artists). They record a 2-minute "podcast segment" or "radio spot" highlighting that person's impact.Tech extension: Google Vids would be great for thisspotify creatorMarch: Women’s History MonthThe Project:"Future Me Interview"The Goal:Students identify a living woman in their community or a professional field they admire. They develop a list of interview questions and—if possible—conduct a brief interview, or write a "speculative biography" of what their own life might look like if they followed in those footsteps.Tech extension: Turn it into a real blog post and post it on a class website using Canva or Google SiteswavacityApril: Earth MonthThe Project:"The Trash-to-Treasure Fashion Show"The Goal:Students design and "walk" a piece of wearable art made entirely from clean, recycled materials (plastic caps, old newspapers, cardboard).

    (More) Awesome Edtech for the Summer
    2026/06/01
    Edtech ThrowdownEpisode 216: (More) Awesome Edtech for the SummerWelcome to the EdTech Throwdown. This is Episode 216 called (More) Awesome Edtech for the Summer. Every year when school ends we publish an episode where Guise and I share what we’ll be reading, listening to, and exploring over the summer break. 216 is that episode and this is another you don’t want to miss, check it out.Segment 1: Summer PlansSummer plansSegment 2: Resources for the SummerNickPodcastsSweat the Technique- How do we get better, faster? A group of pathbreaking educators come together weekly to answer that question, applying lessons from the classroom to all areas of life - from parenting, to relationships, to sports, to hobbies and more. Sweat the Technique is hosted by four former principals and superintendents who've led gap-closing schools. That includes: Doug Lemov, author of the international bestseller Teach Like a Champion and trainer to many successful educators and professional sports coaches, Ryan Hill, founder and CEO of a network of 23 KIPP public charter schools in New Jersey and Miami, Stacey Shells Harvey, founder and CEO of ReGeneration Schools, and Ravi Gupta, former leader of Tennessee's highest performing network of charter schools and founder of the largest-ever training organization for Democratic candidates and staffers. In particular I’ve heard the episode called “Lessons on Excellent Teaching (with Pritesh Raichura)” is quite good.Schooled- This podcast from National Public Radio can help answer the question, “Is this happening to anyone else?” Schooled provides boots-on-the-ground dispatches from Pennsylvania’s public school system, where more government dollars are spent per student than in any other U.S. state. The podcast aims to get to the bottom of why those funds aren’t working, and what needs to happen to make lasting positive change.BooksTeach Like a Champion by Doug Lamov- Teach Like a Champion 3.0 is the long-awaited update to Doug Lemov’s highly regarded guide to the craft of teaching. This book teaches you how to create a positive and productive classroom that encourages student engagement, trust, respect, accountability, and excellence. In this edition, you’ll find new and updated teaching techniques, the latest evidence from cognitive science and culturally responsive teaching practices, and an expanded companion video collection. Learn how to build students’ background knowledge, move learning into long-term memory, and connect your teaching with the curriculum content for tangible improvement in learning outcomes. Seven Myths About Education- In this controversial new book, Daisy Christodoulou offers a thought-provoking critique of educational orthodoxy. Drawing on her recent experience of teaching in challenging schools, she shows through a wide range of examples and case studies just how much classroom practice contradicts basic scientific principles. She examines seven widely-held beliefs which are holding back pupils and teachersBONUS BOOK (CAN I DO IT?!?!) Non-education one - The Power Broker - 1,344 pages, the audio book is 66 hours long. (the average audio book is about 12 hours long)Grab BagReturn to good teaching practice: Focus on study strategies with thisexcellent one-pagerPhet Studio’s customizable simulations and the Wayground Integration - must pay for this but it might be worth it!GuisePodcastsThe Big Dig Catching the Codfather Ian Coss ADDitude’s ADHD Experts PodcastThe Episode:"What Neuroscience Reveals About the ADHD Brain"(with Dr. Joel Nigg)Why it’s great: Dr. Nigg is a leading researcher who does a brilliant job of breaking down complex neuroimaging and brain chemistry into layman's terms. He explains exactly how the ADHD brain processes dopamine, handles attention, and experiences heightened emotions.Bonus Episode:"Neurofeedback and Cognitive Training for ADHD Kids"(explores how computer-based brain training interacts with neuroplasticity)BooksThe AI-Driven Leader: Harnessing AI to Make Faster, Smarter Decisions by Geoff Woods (released in late 2024) is a highly practical business playbook.While many tech books focus on how to code or automate basic tasks, Woods focuses on the executive mindset. His core argument is that most people misuse AI by treating it like a faster assistant, when they should be treating it as a strategic thought partner.If you are a creator or leader looking to use this book to scale your work, here is a deep dive into its core philosophy and the frameworks it provides.
