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.

We chat this episode about leading change through generations of technology innovations, with a focus more on the people change than the technology change itself. We also remember Rob Reiner and celebrate his most quotable, memorable films.
