Connecting with Nature

In our first episode, season one host Jesse Bray talks with Colin Stapp, Learning Technology Facilitator and Tech Hub Faculty at Chemeketa Community College. This is an episode about rejuvenating with nature. An avid hiker, Colin has been an educator for thirty years with a focus on all things tech while also having a long history of using nature to unplug from technology. Jesse and Colin discuss both as well as the value of being present in the outdoors without having to do anything.
