Recorded LIVE at ISTE 25/ASCD in San Antonio, Jerri and Jamie sit down with Australian edtech rockstar and #AussieED founder Brett Salakas. Known for his people-first approach to technology, Brett shares how his personal story shaped his mission to connect, empower, and inspire through edtech.
Brett offers real-world lessons on building connections, creating meaningful learning experiences, and empowering students and educators to embrace innovation. In true Texas spirit, he even draws surprising (and surprisingly wise) parallels between educational leadership and the iconic pit stop Buc-ee’s.
