How my iPhone changed my career

About a year ago, I purchased an iPhone and it has been the greatest professional development tool I have ever used. When I started using my iPhone, I wasn't sure how it could be used. But I noticed that it had a podcast app, and I found a few educational podcasts, like the Flipped Learning Network Podcast, and began listening to it.

The next step happened a few weeks later. The guests who appeared on this Podcast said that they can be reached on Twitter. So eventually I realized that I could use Twitter to connect with amazing educators and learn from them. I don't think I am very good at using twitter, but I love the ideas that I get by reading other teacher's tweets and blog posts.

Since then I have expanded to listen to a variety of podcasts, many of which are from EdReach and my iPhone has become a constant source of professional development that inspires me to try new things.

In case you are curious, here are some of my favorite educational podcasts:

  1. Thanks, Ben, for sharing these links of podcasts. I always think I should be getting more use out of my iPhone. Again, thanks for sharing.
