🎙️ What if the career you never planned for became the purpose you couldn’t live without?
Alyssa Beer never set out to become an educator. From studying broadcast and film to dreaming of working in television, her path seemed to be headed anywhere but the classroom. Yet more than 25 years later, education has become her life’s calling—and empowerment has become her “why.”
In this episode, Alyssa shares why technology should be more than another device in a student’s hands. She introduces the idea of “PED Tech”—using technology with purpose, intention, and pedagogy to empower students and teachers rather than simply adding more tools.
From her unexpected journey into education to her perspective on technology, AI, student autonomy, and overcoming burnout, this conversation will make you rethink one simple question:
“Why are we using this?”
