“Padrah is one of the most creative and courageous EdTechy educators I know. She is knowledgeable about all the tools available and tries them all, constantly exploring new things and finding what works. But as a teacher trainer she is focused on quality over quantity — finding your why, 1% improvement, and no tech for the sake of tech, tech to enrich the educational experience for the most important people in education: students.”
