Welcome to the SMACtalk For Educators podcast! This is part of the Divison of
Elementary and Secondary Education's SMACtalk initiative. A monthly podcast
featuring interviews with prominent educators working with education and
technology, SMACtalk for Educators has a different theme for every episode
centered around promoting online safety and security for educators.

For October, our focus is on fostering healthy virtual relationships.

very interested in helping our students be responsible and ethical when online.
