This week on the podcast, Mary Jo Madda and Michael Winters tackle two big questions from this weeks' news. First, what exactly is happening over at AltSchools? It raised $100M this week, but where does all of that money go? We discuss AltSchool's model and hear from the school's founder about its future. Second, Google Classroom celebrates its first birthday this week. But is the wide use of Google Classroom a good thing?
