Special guest Dan Zehr - high school educator, podcast host of Coffee with Kenobi Podcast, and author of the “Teaching with Star Wars” blog on StarWars.com - joins the show to discuss how educators in K-12, Higher Ed, and corporate education can learn from the Star Wars franchise. Dan has become well-known for being a teacher who uses Star Wars and pop culture in his classroom to teach about failure, mentors, teachers, family, diversity and much more. So even if you're not a fan of Star Wars, this is still a must listen!CONNECT WITH USIf you have any feedback or want to join in on the conversation, connect with us via LinkedIN, Twitter (@bobbyhollywood), or email our show at learninggeekspod@gmail.com.
