In this episode, I chat "accessibility" vs. "Accessibility" with Lindsay Foster. She will open your eyes to what it means to make sure our content is "Accessible". This conversation really opened my eyes and made me rethink how I do what I do. This is a powerful conversation that needs to heard by anyone who creates or delivers content or curriculum. Please check it out and put these practices into play. Buen provecho!

My first book "Cooking Up Experiences In The Classroom: Focus On Experiences, Not Just Lessons" is officially out! A HUGE shout out to Lumio for helping sponsor this book. I'm super excited about this project. It's filled with ideas on how to make memorable experiences for your students. In addition, each chapter also lays out a specific recipe mentioned in that chapter along with a video tutorial on how to prepare that dish. Make sure you get your copy and cook up some experiences for your students and loved ones!
