Educating to be Human, Season 1 - Trailer
Listen to the trailer for our new bi-weekly podcast, Educating to Be Human, created by ISKME (Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education) and hosted by Lisa Petrides, CEO and Founder. "Educating to Be Human" explores what it means to be human at the intersection of education, technology and culture. In each episode, Lisa speaks with people who, through their passion and commitment, are creating transformative change in education.
