In this episode of “[Ask the Tech Coach](https://www.teachercast.net/episodes/ask-the-tech-coach/),”
Jeff and Susan welcome guest co-hosts, Sarah Kiefer and Laura Counts to share how
they have formed a fantastic working relatsionship in their school building that
has led to outstanding student achievement.

Laura is a 4th gr teacher and showed her students a photo of kids sitting around
a radio learning back in the early days of polio. This sparked an unplanned activity!
Laura asked Sarah to come in and go over pros/cons of various tech tools and then
supported a couple of students who chose to do a newscast & needed to use a new 
program in order to accomplish what they set out to. A very successful co-teaching
tech plan.

> them in the past and gotten through. [pic.twitter.com/IOV6MNPE6a](https://t.co/IOV6MNPE6a)
