What this episode covers

On this episode of the Microsoft Innovative Educator Spotlight Series Podcast, we are LIVE from the ISTE Conference from Chicago Illinois.  I had the opportunity to learn about what is happening today with Microsoft Education with two great conversations with members of the Microsoft Education team. My first interview is with Corporate Vice President of Education, Eran Megiddo.  Together we talk about the landscape of education and how Microsoft technologies are fitting into the hands of students of all ages. My second interview is with Joey Taralson from Flipgrid.  In this conversation, we discuss the new partnership between Flipgrid and Microsoft and what it means for thousands of teachers and students worldwide.
