Class was in session for our teacher pod
The network's year of going live continued this week with Ed - Conversations about the Teaching Life at the North Central Teachers' Convention!
|
|
Teachers Shaun Smith, Joe Reimer and Jeremy Cooper joined Ed host Shane Lawrence for a live recording where they shared their wins and fails, their takes on the best kind of professional development, and what they do to replenish themselves. The episode will be out in March.
Shane also did a bit of a talk on the power of podcasting as a tool for professional development, and he's already got that on his feed. You can even follow along with the slides.
We recorded at CKUA, right across the street from the Edmonton Convention Centre. (It's also home of ATB's Branch for Arts and Culture, by the way).

Alberta Business Spotlight: Park Power
|

It was lots of fun to hear a little more about the motivations behind Park Power and what owner Kris Kasawski has learned about business along the way.
Just like us, he loves local, and as it turns out, he sees some parallels between his business and podcasts. Check out our interview with Kris, who we're so pleased to have as a sponsor of the Alberta Podcast Network.
