Tech Chick Tips

Recorded via Skype so sound isn't the best but at least it's published! We wanted to dedicate this episode to our friend and colleague, Steve Weicht, who lost a very short battle to cancer. He was one of our early listeners and we will miss his friendship.

Thank you for joining us for our 100th episode! For this special episode, we wanted to bring you the voices of one group that inspires us--our fellow Apple Distinguished Educators! We collected tips, tricks, app advice, and websites that we think can benefit everyone. Since this was recorded at the global institute while we were in Ireland, you will hear voices from around the world! We’re trying to get this out quickly, so you won’t find any show notes, but if you have questions about anything in particular, contact us and we’ll research it. Enjoy and thank you for your support! Slàinte, and here’s to the next 100!

We want to extend a very special thank you to the following ADEs who generously shared their time (in no particular order): Robert B, Rich C, Scott J, Gabriel A, Maxx J, Brian Z, Praise M, Nelson T, Doug K, Elaine W, Julie G, Leslie S, Kevin M, Mike L, Sue G, Domizio B, Kiyotaka H, David L, Christian H, Adrian H, Miles B, Kevin M, Cormac C, Gordon W, Peter M, Camilla G, Mike M, Jim H, Bill S, Scott M, Don H, Katie M, Rae N, Rita M, Andy B, Luis P, Chris T, Keith H, Jonathan H, Gilbert H, Sherri C, Karen B, Chuy (Jesus H), Martha V, Cesar M, Josep C, Gabriel B, Nathan L, Tami B, Angie H, Ellen F, Erin L, Miguel S, Kate K, Harry S, Peter F, Chris P, Nia U, Abdul C, Mike A, Matt C, Kaori H, Laura E, Julie H, Stace C, Anthony J, Cyprien L, Kathy S, Carolyn S, Jennie M, Nicolas V, Mark C, Jill V, Colin H, Koen M, Kurt K, Cheryl D, Henry F, David B
