Dr. Z: Leigh Zeitz , a student-centered Education Technology Professor

Dr. Leigh Zeitz professor at the University of Northern Iowa

Leigh Zeitz lovingly known as “Dr. Z” to all of his students has powerful student-centered approach to his classroom at the University of Northern Iowa. I know because I’ve interacted with them for years.

He has taught in public, private, prison schools, and in college and loves teaching. How does he do it? What is his philosophy of learning? Let’s learn.

Who will want to listen to this show?

This is a must listen for all higher ed education professors but also for anyone who wants to become a more student-centered teacher at all levels.

My favorite thing is when Dr. Z talks about his collaboration with Cliff Mims @clifmims and how he built a dynamic community between some undergrad students and grad students.

Vicki Davis

Vicki Davis has been an educator and IT director in Georgia since 2002. Today, she also works as an instructional technology coach, staying side-by-side with active teachers and students so her work stays grounded in real classrooms.

She's a mom of three, wife of one, and loves talking about the wise, transformational use of technology for teaching and doing good in the world.

She has blogged at the Cool Cat Teacher Blog since 2005 and hosts the 10 Minute Teacher Podcast and Cool Cat Teacher Talk (radio, public access TV, YouTube, and all major podcast platforms), interviewing remarkable educators around the world. Vicki focuses on what unites us — a quest for truly remarkable, life-changing teaching and learning. The goal of her work is to provide actionable, encouraging, relevant ideas for teachers, grounded in truth and shared with love.

If you talk to Vicki for long, she'll encourage you to "Relate to Educate," to "innovate like a turtle," or to be "a remarkable teacher." She loves homemade sourdough bread and cinnamon rolls and runs half marathons with her sisters. You can usually find her laughing with her students or digging into a book.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and telling your friends about the work we do here! - Vicki
