On Air: EdSurge Edtech Podcast, Week of Feb 9 - Feb 13

This week on the podcast, we chat about the rumors of a new Blackboard acquisition, ask whether President Obama will receive the education funding he asked for, and EdSurge reporter Charley Locke drops by to discuss using the SAMR model on iPads. Along the way we also try out a couple of edtech pickup lines that you might use this Valentine's Day weekend.

Thanks to everyone who has listened and given us feedback. Please keep it coming!!
