Welcome to episode 262 (“PhotoShop For All”) of the EdTech Situation Room from June 15, 2022, where technology news meets educational analysis. This week Jason Neiffer (@techsavvyteach) and Wesley Fryer (@wfryer) discussed Big Tech / the “Tech Correction,” Google news, Microsoft news, Apple news, and Adobe news. Geeks of the Week included the NCCE “Crossroads of History Project” and a true “long tail moment” for Wes.
