Ep. 055, Classroom Relationship Management

Chris Hull is the Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer of Otus, a Chicago-based edtech company. After 13 years as an educator, Chris wanted to minimize the chaos of disconnected edtech tools for K-12 administrators, educators, students, and their families. We talk about his humble beginnings gaming, how hating education until college made him want to teach, and how his new company helps educators bridge the gap between subjects and years at schools (think SalesForce Accounts, Contact, and Activities for the classroom).    Otus: www.otus.com NSSD112 (where I taught) https://www.nssd112.org/ Obsidian (note taking application I use): https://obsidian.md/ Happiness Advantage (book I am reading) https://www.amazon.com/Happiness-Advantage-Principles-Psychology-Performance/dp/0307591549 Tavour (go to site for ordering beer) https://www.tavour.com/gifts?gclid=Cj0KCQjwqp-LBhDQARIsAO0a6aL0rERr51uB48ajPm3fS7nfGGMMo4_kXv--vsnVCTJXgJ1XIg0kYAIaAo9cEALw_wcB
