Plugged In: ACPE Amplified
How people connect and learn has evolved in the 50+ years since ACPE was formed. But our mission and ethos haven’t: (1) increasing collaboration and professional development opportunities and (2) fostering long-lasting relationships among our members.
We’re eager to keep diversifying ways to connect, learn, and have fun together. The Plugged In podcast is a place for us to amplify the voices of our colleagues and celebrate the work we do in education technology. Join hosts Marc Elliott and Rachel Wente-Chaney as they learn how to be podcasters alongside ACPE friends.

No Cheese
Alt title: Keep The Blast Radius Small (recorded June 26, 2025)
Join Marc and Rachel for our seventh episode, with guest April Mardock, our security role model and an ACPE cyber whisperer.
We chat about video games, sci-fi, what Marc is watching, what April is reading, and Rachel's love for Parker Posey (enough to overcome White Lotus).
And then we get serious about K-12 cybersecurity, tools, threats, lessons learned, people processes, and the importance of incident response planning.
*Oh, and some cheese, Swiss cheese, cheeziness (sorry Chris Rowbotham!), string cheese as high motivation for April's dog, and a visit from Marc's dog Guppy Nine Toes, who likes cheese and approves of this episode.
