EdTech Bites Podcast Ep. 229 | Live From The Southside: It Takes A Village To Support Education w/ April Monterrosa
This episode is brought to you by Snorkl.
As educators, we want students to express and explain their thinking. We want to hear their thoughts on a science question, a story, or a math problem. But listening to each student one-on-one is nearly impossible.
Snorkl lets students record their thinking with a virtual whiteboard and uses AI for immediate, personalized feedback. This works for any question at any grade level. Teachers get an immediate summary of student progress. Check out Snorkl.app for an incredible deal for schools to pilot it this year.
In this episode, I chat with April Monterrosa. If I could sum up the hats she wears in one sentence, I would… But I can't! She's an author, speaker, local entrepreneur in San Antonio, publisher of Live From The Southside Magazine, and then some. She works to help out local businesses and also supports our local San Antonio students through publishing student work in her publication. She values giving students voice and fostering their writing to help guide them in a direction they might have never known about. She truly is a San Antonio icon and Mogul and is always giving back to the community. It is an honor to have her as a part of the show and invite you to connect with her to be inspired by her and her work. This episode was recorded at BiblioTech South in San Antonio so a huge shout out to them and supporting the love of literacy for our communities.
