Sign up for the Newsletter

We’ve setup a newsletter system on the Technically Learning website. Signing up for our newsletter is a great way to keep in touch with Technically Learning. We'll send out periodic mails that will let you know what we're up to and our progress with local schools.

You can also use the same form to send us a note. Just fill out the form, type your note into the notes field and if you don't want to receive the newsletter just check the little checkbox at the bottom.

Of course we hate spam as much as the next person, and we understand the reluctance to give your e-mail address to anybody now-a-days, but we promise to never share your e-mail address with anybody, ever. Additionally, you'll never see your e-mail address on our website where spammers can get at it.

If you’re interested go sign up now!

Eric is interviewed in an Idealist podcast

I was recently interviewed by Idealist, a well-known website for social action that brings together all kinds of resources. They have a new podcast series called "Questions With" that questions leaders in the social sector on their work and professional journeys. That podcast is now up at http://idealist.org/if/i/en/h/blog/questions-with-eric-hilton-of-technically-learning. Take a listen and pass on the link. I talk about Technically Learning, how we got started, and what you can do to get involved.
