1CoolThing Stories-SHS

Kristofer Orre
We’ve all had that moment where we see or hear something and say, “that’s so cool! I’ve got to try that!” #1CoolThing Stories is about sharing the stories of teachers trying and implementing things that other teachers could do themselves. Each podcast is a short interview with an individual or group of educators from Saratoga High School who tell their 1CoolThing story.
