Check out host Bidemi Ologunde's new show: The Work Ethic Podcast, available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde sits down with Robert Cobbs and Kyle Sumrow, the leaders behind Tech My School, a nonprofit advancing technology and educational equity for underserved students in Puerto Rico. How do you help schools adopt AI and EdTech without deepening distraction, dependence, or inequity? What does a "healthy relationship with technology" look like for teachers and students in real classrooms? Robby and Kyle share the lessons behind their tools, Tech Plan Genie and Relief Roster, a substitute management platform, plus what they're learning from educators on the ground and from the global stages where they’ve presented. Check out their annual gathering at www.techmyschool.org/conference
