Welcome to CDW-G’s new podcast series, Focus on K-12: EdTech and the Education Experience. In this series, we talk to leaders in education about how relevant topics are impacting the world of educational technology and education at large. As educators, we must be intentional in our decision-making to keep the full experience of our teachers, staff, and most importantly, our students, at heart. Together, we leverage the power of the incredible thinkers throughout the education community to discuss topics ranging from equity to esports, from creativity to coaching, and from feedback to the future of education.


I’m Doug Konopelko, a K-12 Education Strategist at CDW-G. As part of the Strategic Programs team, we keep up to date with the work going on across the world in K-12 including current challenges, different stakeholders and roles within school districts, and solutions being put in place to address those challenges. We act as strategic partners, trusted advisors, and connectors for the districts that we serve. Please join us as we journey through the world of designing meaningful, authentic learning experiences for our students, create sustainable systems of support for all stakeholders, and learn how to empower others to be agents of change, driving innovation and sparking conversations across the field.


So let’s dive in as we Focus on K-12.
