ideas to help teachers and students thrive in the 21st century

the shows: innovation on tap

The Infinite Thinking Machine

Our flagship show is a fun, fast-paced video podcast hosted and produced by Chris Walsh from WestEd. Each episode covers a wide range of topics and features one tool or resource that can be immediately used in the classroom. The show is purposefully designed to be a bit quirky, so it doesn't feel like a stuffy educational video or a geeky technology show. Detailed "show notes" and links for each episode can be found on the blog, allowing educators to explore each idea in more detail.
