ERT004: Hollywood with Kayla Delzer - Being Connected and an "EduCelebrity"



We met with Kayla Delzer in Hollywood to discuss being an educelebrity. Although Kayla does not consider herself a celebrity, we see her as a teaching role model and example of a highly connected educator. Our conversation included Kayla’s journey to becoming connected, her experiences attending and presenting at conferences, and the benefits of being a connected educator. She just recorded a TEDx talk, which should be released early September 2015. Additionally, we featured Lindsey Lipsky as our Travel Agent and pulled EduCreations out of our Suitcase.
