Listen to EC3 Teacher Academy Podcast with Mary Ray
EC3 = Connective, Collaborative, Critical-Thinking

As my friend Wes Fryer (SpeedofCreativity.org) likes to point out, Podcasts allow you to time-shift, to travel back in time to when the audio was originally recorded. And, that's exactly what this podcast does. It takes me back in time to a date when I was brand new EC Technology Operations Director, and involved in the planning for these events. Wow, what a neat experience to listen to this audio and hear what staff were doing during Summer Professional Learning opportunities about integrating iPads into the Curriculum.
This podcast features a chat I had with Mary Ray in Summer, 2012. Mary Ray shares a brief overview of the EC3 iPad Initiative that was launched this summer. The EC3 initiative got started back in December, 2011 with initial planning, leading up to Summer, 2012 EC3 Teacher Academy.
Mary shares some of the lessons learned:
- Get as many stakeholders involved.
- Know that you will have to modify and adjust as the initiative unfolds.
- Wireless infrastructure needs to be addressed in anticipation of implementation.
- Double-checking content filters to ensure the right kind of access.
