Dr. Will is passionate about helping others live their best lives.  Through his podcast, The Dr. Will Show, he interviews individuals passionate about harnessing their gifts, talents, and abilities to build the lives they want to have.  During this episode, Dr. Will joins me to discuss the power of working for yourself, or getting your "coins" as an edupreneur.  

I love this time of the year!  Everyone is heading back to school full of excitement and anticipation.  What better way to prepare for the school year than to sit down and have a conversation with students? As a teacher-mom, I am always talking to my kids about school, so I thought it would be nice to record one of our many conversations. In this episode, my 3 kiddos, Paul (14), Kaden (7), and Kaleigh (7) joined me for a chat about the 2018-2019 school year along with their feelings about school.  

Ann Kozma is an amazing TOSA, or Teacher on Special Assignment, from Fullerton California.  From the moment that we met via Twitter during a #TOSAchat and later Voxer, Ann has been a ray of light, spreading cheer and encouragement to me and others along my personal edtech journey as an instructional coach turned Blended Learning Specialist.  During this episode of EDU Lounge, Ann shares her upcoming sessions with Spring CUE 2018 along with her love of helping others.  

Dee Lanier doesn't simply teach outside of the box.  He throws it away and gives students the opportunity to design and think in creative ways.  From SmashboardEdu, an interactive game-like digital board that challenges students to use various tools to work towards an end goal, to Maker Kitchen, an inexpensive way to create opportunities for students to make and create, Dee is opening learning opportunities for others around the globe.  Learn more about Dee's innovative approach to teaching and learning during this episode of EDU Lounge.

Everyone needs a cheerleader, someone rooting for them and helping them to be their best self. Sixteen years ago, when I became an educator, I was fortunate enough to have the best support imaginable form my dad, Ralph.  In the first episode of Edu Lounge, I revisit those days with my greatest supporter and first classroom coach.
