In The Moment

Do cell phones & social media belong in the classroom?

On today's show...

The emerald ash borer is an invasive species that kills ash trees. The beetle has been found in several southeastern South Dakota communities, including Brookings.

We talk to Tanner Aiken, horticulturist at South Dakota State University, about how the campus is deciding which trees to remove and which to try to save.

The Gettysburg School District is going device-free this fall. We learn why from Amber Mikkelsen, the district superintendent.

For today's Teacher Talk, we explore how educators can shape their social media presence — and what they should avoid.

Plus, the South Dakota Artist Laureate joins the show. Dale Lamphere discusses how he sculpts the pieces that shape South Dakota's skylines.
