Voices of eLearning: Introducing Season 3

 
Voices of eLearning is back with a new season of educational insights in the digital age. This third season promises new topics, new guests, and a revisiting of a few areas still making headlines in education today. Teacher shortages haven’t ceased, and education is continually adjusting to life after the pandemic.

“We have to continue to learn from all the things we had to endure, and advance technology- wise during the pandemic, and have conversations about what to keep, and what to hopefully never have to do again,” JW Marshall, the Voices of eLearning co-host, said. “Because it wasn’t the best for our teachers and our students.”

Co-Hosts, JW Marshall and Leena Marie Saleh, will continue to bring the best education and technology leaders to the show to explore the latest trends in EdTech, teaching, and leadership.

In this season 3 introductory episode, Marshall and Saleh highlight ongoing education needs and what’s upcoming on Voices of eLearning…

“It was about a week after we wrapped season two that ChatGPT made its way onto the scene, and it’s been a couple of months now,” Marshall said. “The big reoccurring theme this season is going to be—it’s not a fad; it’s not something that we’re talking about for a few months, and then it kind of dies down, and something else takes the spotlight. It’s here to stay. And it is going to be a game changer.”
