Just Be a Teacher - TEC 79
from The TechEd Clubhouse Hosted by Dan Thomas
Every scroll promises a fix. A new tool. A new strategy. A new way to boost engagement. But after coming back from FETC, one question kept sticking with me: What if the biggest thing missing in education right now isn’t another tool—but permission to just be a teacher? This episode is a reflection on great conversations, real engagement, and the growing overload of “solutions” in education. While the presenters, sessions, and people at FETC were thoughtful and inspiring, the most meaningful moments didn’t come from platforms or products—they came from honest conversations between educators. We talk about: • Why engagement isn’t missing—it’s being crowded out • How too many tools can quietly make teaching feel heavier • What we’ve lost in the rush to fix teaching • Why “just teaching” might be the most radical move right now No tips. No tricks. Just space to think. If teaching has started to feel more complicated than it should, this episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and remember that you already know how to do this work.
