### The discussion

It’s a full house on WELSTech today as Martin and Sallie kick off a new season and are joined once again by our favorite education technology guest hosts, Professor Rachel Feld from [Martin Luther College](https://mlc-wels.edu) and Jason Schmidt, Executive Director of [Wisconsin Virtual School](https://wisconsinvirtualschool.org/).

And if that wasn’t enough excitement, WELSTech is re-introducing video! Our audio podcast continues without a blip, but now listeners will have the option to be watchers, if they prefer video!

### The interview

WELS Education Conference – Paul Patterson from WELS Lutheran Schools joins the conversation to share some of the first details about the upcoming [WELS Education Conference](https://welsedconference.com), June 20-22, 2022 at the Ingleside Hotel in Pewaukee, WI. Under the theme ***United in Christ, Diverse in Service***, attendees will choose from topics in six strands – Feedback and Assessment, Higher Order Thinking, Student Achievement, Student Centered Classroom, Social Emotional Learning, and Leadership in Ministry. There’s much for educators to get excited about!
