In this episode of The TechEd Clubhouse Podcast, I sit down with the one and only Farmer Faubs — educator, content creator, and all-around EdTech firecracker — to talk about how creativity and community are redefining teaching. From her viral “Farmer Faubs” persona to her work with Book Creator, Kami, and the EduGuardians, Faubs brings practical strategies, a big heart, and a whole lot of “Yeehaw moments” to classrooms everywhere.
We dig into:
How Farmer Faubs started on a whim with a cowboy hat and a vision
The power of social media for teacher growth and connection
Why AI and creativity must coexist in classrooms
How to make PD sessions actually useful (hint: hands-on and follow-up!)
Simple, ready-to-use templates and blended learning ideas teachers can apply tomorrow
The story behind the EduGuardians movement and the power of authentic educator communities
If you’ve ever wanted PD with purpose, tech with heart, and learning that sticks — this one’s for you.
🧩 Key Takeaways
“Meet teachers where they are.” Great tech starts with usability and simplicity.
Blend hands-on with high-tech. LEGO, shoebox projects, and AI can live together.
Keep the human in the loop. AI is a thought partner, not a replacement.
Community matters. Connections through Twitter, LinkedIn, and conferences can transform your teaching career.
Make PD that sticks. Give teachers something they can use tomorrow, not next semester.
