In this episode I speak with Todd Beard. His bio reads, “My passions are to elevate the profession of teaching, evolve STEM education into STEAM education, to advance my theories of “edutainment”, and to create a personalized learning environment that benefits all students. I use cutting edge technologies and educational best practices to deliver education through one-on-one, whole groups, online, and mixed modes. I believe in brain-based learning through differentiation and scaffolding. My greatest strength is that my students know WHY I care about what I teach, which is the best way, so students will care about WHAT I teach. “

He is CIO of Flint Cultural Academy as well as numerous other titles. Be sure to check out all of his work on Twitter and elsewhere linked below.
