OH NOOOOO!!!!! This is it folks! The last #dcsdtransforms podcast of the school year (minus a couple of special editions at tech conferences this summer). So we decided to take a trip down memory lane and highlight all the amazing transformations that have taken place this school year. We give shoutouts to some special groups of people. THANK YOU, our loyal listeners for being just that…loyal listeners. It is because of you that we continue this podcast. We look forward to what 2016-17 has in store for DCSD! Cheers!
