Throughout the last 6 months, I have had the privilege of working closely with Microsoft Education to create some pretty awesome podcasts and promotional videos.  During this time, I met some pretty awesome educators who are creating the building blocks for what education might look like for future generations.  One of my favorite moments at ISTE 2015 came while interviewing the OneNote team and I had the opportunity to meet the guys who actually CREATE Microsoft OneNote.

I once heard someone say “In order to be the man… you have to beat the man” and this philosophy is true for Microsoft OneNote.  “In order to create AWESOME… you have to BE AWESOME!  Since January, I have worked very closely with Mike Tholfsen and Ari Schor on several podcasts and even the beginning of what will be a TeacherCast University Online Course on OneNote.  They are awesome guys and if you ever have an opportunity to visit a Microsoft Education booth, they can be easily found by their trademark Purple Capes.  I hope you have the opportunity to check out our video above to see exactly how awesome these capes really are.
