DatabasED Podcast
Today's educators work in data rich environments. They interact with multiple systems in any given day, and often have questions about how this data can be used or moved but lack the time to delve into the details. DatabasED distills the complexities of data processes and analysis into terms and concepts that educators are familiar with and can connect with their day to day practice (and will occasionally provide a venue for data nerds to nerd out over related topics).
