Welcome Back! Thank you to those of you coming back to Shifting Our Schools and a big welcome to all you new listeners. This episode is made to help bridge the gap between our 2008-2009 show and bringing Shifting Our Schools back in 2018. It's been quite the journey and Shifting Our Schools was a large part of my own personal journey into starting COETAIL and Eduro Learning. In this episode, I tell my personal journey starting from High School to restarting Shifting Our Schools and looking forward to the future of podcasting.
