Blue Ridge PBS, the Virginia Department of Education, and the Virginia Society for Technology in Education are pleased to announce the release of season one of ActiVAtED Learning, a 12-episode podcast designed to elevate the profession of teaching and explore trends and best practices in instructional technology, including discussions with classroom teachers who share their own philosophies of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The series features interviews with thought leaders, award winning teachers, technology leaders and others focused on improving instruction in the Commonwealth. The series premiered in January with a conversation with Blended Learning expert and author Catlin Tucker.

New episodes have been released every other Wednesday on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music and Spotify as well as being aired on the ECHO Channel, a broadcast and streaming channel focused on Education, Community, Health and Opportunity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
