The Edtech Throwdown podcast (originally GotTechED the Podcast) was created in 2018 by Nick Johnson and Eric Guise with one, singular goal: to provide quality, tech-centric professional development (PD) to busy teachers on the move. As educators who have always been passionate about PD, Nick and Guise have attended and created hundreds of hours of professional learning experiences for teachers, but there has always been one problem ... time! Attending full-day workshops and conferences is difficult and stressful due to missed class time and added prep. With the Edtech Thowdown, Nick and Guise hope to provide busy teachers a way to access educational PD at their convenience.

We continued talking and all I could think about is “no #edtechmadness is what gets me through March. It shall not decease, it shall not parish.” After this big monologue moment in my head played through, I heard Kyle say “You and Nick should do it.” Okay we need to take a break to hear from Teach Better, but don’t go anywhere because when we come back we’re going to break down this year's edtech march madness bracket.
