Teach Me, Teacher LLC
About this episode

Hello everyone! The other day, I came across a post about a viral lesson where a history teacher used the video game Assassin's Creed Odyssey to show a famous ancient battle. After looking at his content online for a bit, I KNEW I had to talk to him. 

Dale Mahathey is a middle school Social Studies teacher who is finding success with using social media to connect with his kids. He is also a passionate historian who wants to help kids find new ways to connect to the stories of the past—and is doing a wonderful job so far. 

Episodes like this remind me of why Teach Me, Teacher exists in the first place. Heartwarming stories about teachers doing what they need to in order to get buy-in from students. 

Enjoy!
