Episode 5.10

Hello and Welcome to another potentially useful episode of the TCAPSLoop Podcast!! Joining me from a construction site…in your mind, it’s the Technollergist, David Noller and Danelle Brostrom. After the holidays many schools begin Research Project season. With that in mind we revisit the ISTE Standard 1.3 - Knowledge Constructor, and it's importance in gathering and curating reliable information for student work.
