On today’s episode, the guys chat with Seth Fleischauer, founder and president of Banyan Global Learning, discussing the evolution of his company, which started 16 years ago providing live video teaching in cultural and digital competencies. Initially focused on Asia, Banyan expanded to the US five years ago, emphasizing global citizenship and social-emotional learning. Fleischauer highlights the importance of intercultural connections and digital literacy, noting the impact of the pandemic on these areas. He also mentions his two podcasts, "Why Distance Learning" and "Make it Mindful," which explore educational innovations and mindfulness in education. Fleischauer emphasizes the need for consistent, long-term engagement in distance learning to foster meaningful cultural exchanges. All this and more on this episode of the EduTechGuys.
