Follow Friday – Tech Lasso Podcast

On Fridays I share what I believe to be a notable person/organization/school on our social media pages to assist our staff in the development of their online Personal Learning Network.

Here in Manitoba we are heading into the May long week which sees staff out of buildings until May 23rd. As we step back for an opportunity to recharge and connect with activities that bring us joy, I know that many of us are looking for easy and accessible PD opportunities. Podcasts can be the perfect way to build in both PD and entertainment as they can be played:

  • while enjoying a walk
  • on a road-trip
  • while relaxing with your morning coffee

Current stats for Canadian online use indicate that 21.3% of internet users enjoy podcasts regularly with the average time being ~41min of daily listening. If you are wondering where to start in the world of podcasts, I recommend the Tech Lasso Podcast from the Instructional Technology Outreach at LA County Office of Education.

“Tech Lasso is produced in collaboration with the Instructional Technology Outreach (ITO) Coordinators. ITO at Los Angeles County Office of Education exists to promote effective and innovative use of technology throughout our educational communities.

A variety of guest speakers, including fellow ITO Coordinators, engage in conversation to help everyone navigate the ever-evolving digital technologies used in the classrooms today.
