Ed Influencers
The term “influencer” is often applied to brands and social media mavens, but it’s also a word that pertains to visionary edtech leaders. “Ed Influencers,” the new podcast from the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), digs into the motivations and aspirations of today’s most prominent education innovators. In each episode, ISTE Chief Learning Officer Joseph South sits down with an edtech leader who’s helping to transform teaching and learning. From impacting education practice to influencing nonprofits, education policy and the edtech industry, South finds out what makes these influencers tick, and what’s next for them.
