In this episode of the TechEducator Podcast, we welcome Steve Fortna, educator and creator of Flippity.net on the program to discuss the recent outcry from educators who recently learned that their favorite edtech tool decided to introduce a paid platform for their application.
In this episode, we discuss:

The Advantages of Free vs the Cost of PremiumOn the Budget
On the Teacher
On the Student
On the App Developer
Should App Developers create Free or Premium apps?
How do developers of Free Apps or services support their projects/companies?
What happens when Free turns to Premium?Should the Educational Community bring out the pitchforks?
Should the Educational Community bring out their pocketbooks?
Should Tech Coaches be shunned for promoting paid applications
What can you do if your favorite app developer puts up a paywall?
Do we pay for a product or let it eventually fail?
