Oct 23, 2016

This episode was recorded at The Edtech Podcast Launch Party at Loughborough University London. 

 

What's in this episode?

The Edtech Podcast LIVE podcast panel with: 

  • Tolu Oyenola, Computing Co-Ordinator, Lauriston Primary School
  • Mark Anderson a.k.a ICT Evangelist, award-winning blogger and speaker
  • Jen Lexmond, Founder, EasyPeasy
  • Alex Flowers, Team Leader, Digital Programmes, Victoria and Albert Museum
  • Joe Dale, 'a one-stop-Twitter-shop for ideas, inspiration and Modern Foreign Language friends' #MFLtwitterati

The panel centres around how to improve the dialogue between 'ed' and 'tech' with a view to better innovation, with some fascinating discussions and questions around whether Edtech is a useful phrase, whether efficacy is an expensive red herring and whether small changes or wholesale re-wiring is the future of education. I hope you enjoy and as ever tweet or send in your thoughts to theedtechpodcast@gmail.com

Sample quotes:

Interview with Sam Patterson, Puppet Master & Makerspace Coordinator, Echo Horizon School, San Francisco 
‘I came to maker space teaching through English. I call myself a recovering English teacher.’
‘Kids will enthusiastically respond to things they are actually interested and as the maker space teacher i can get them interested in things.’
‘If you want to figure out how to do that difficult thing you’re going to need to READ the instructions.’
‘Everything we are doing in that space essential hinges on the central literacy activities of reading and writing.’
‘The more tech that becomes available the more opportunity that teachers have to create choice.’

‘I’ve got one puppet who has 3 legs in his chest. his name is notorious LED. I’m always looking for more ideas.'

‘the human voice carries a lot of information; giving students feedback is an emotionally charged situation’

'then i started telling people it meant puppets and technology usually excellent!'

‘i wonder if i can make puppets’? ‘the kids were like why are you making all these puppets.’?

Have a good week!

Welcome to Bett as new media partner of The Edtech Podcast

Welcome to SowingX Capital as new sponsor

What's in this episode?

  • Word from ELTjam 0-1.15
  • Intro 1.30-4.00, including hello to SowingX Capital
  • Interview with iChamps Courtney Rowan and Clarissa Chay (4:00-20:00) on:

What is the iChamps programme?

How did they get on the programme?

What opportunities does it offer them/staff?

What are their favourite apps/tools?

Next steps after University using digital skills

Evidencing your skills

  • Word from ClearlySo 20:00-20.45
  • Interview with Stephan Caspar (20.45 - 50:00), Media Development Lead, from the Institute for Learning Innovation and Development at the University of Southampton on:

Experiences working in the Media, FE and HE sectors. What does a culture of innovation look like?

The importance of sharing the value of academic research through storytelling in a post-Brexit age

Favourite tools/apps and trends

Shout outs to other innovators in HE/FE

  • Outro, Word from Firefly Learning, and the upcoming KANO Takeover episode

 

Sample Quotes, iChamps:

‘Rather than just talking to people about the technology, it’s ten times better to show people first hand.’

‘If you put in a bit of effort it can really pay off - especially for the students.’

‘There’s been other students at conferences that we’ve been to. There was a student panel at the JISC conference. Although they do similar things, it’s still quite different.’

‘We are treated equally with the staff that we work with. We get a lot of respect from them and they encourage our ideas.’

‘Our digital skills that we’ve learnt have already been so applicable even before we’ve gone on to an actual job.’

‘Our Pathbrite portfolios give a direct representation of all the work that we’ve done.’

Sample Quotes, Stephan Caspar:

If you have an idea and you want to create some resource around that then I’ve got a team who will help you.

The BBC and HE have been very similar. Change happens very slowly. In FE it’s much more agile.

FE is always being squeezed; there is a resourcefulness that people have when that starts to happen.

In many ways I’ve found the most innovative teachers have been the ones in FE.

The people that I’ve met who are real go-getters in HE have come from an FE background.

You learn to travel at speed and then when you arrive in HE…it’s a little bit slower.

Many people phone me up and say Stephan I want a video. We have a conversation about pedagogy and I send them away with a group flipchart activity.

It’s very important to give teaching and learning the same status that research has.

I really want people to not just consume content, but create content as well.

I want students to be reflective practitioners

In the end what I’m trying to do is get away from twelve lectures and an exam

ON EDUCATION CHANGEMAKERS ‘We exist to unleash teacher led innovation.’

ABOUT SEEKING OPPORTUNITIES: ‘It was putting my hand up early and saying I want to lead change’ ‘I applied for my first deputy principal’s job before I even had a degree.’

ON EDUCATION AND RURALITY: My first school was about 400km from the capital city of western australia in perth. Marvel Loch

‘The real issue is the professional isolation. The best way to connect when you are far away, is often through technology.’

AUSTRALIAN TWITTER CHATS: #edchat #pstchat #aussieed #educhange #launchvic

‘Probably in Australia twitter is one of the most utilised mediums for teachers.’

ON EC LABS ACCELERATOR: ’EC labs is the first education sector specific lab accelerator and incubator in Australia.’ ‘We’ve been working with incredible education companies.’

‘What we actually start with is an education rapid accelerator.’ ‘We are currently looking for partners in the UK, working closely with Bett, to look at what does a rapid accelerator look like with Bett Futures.’

QUALITIES TO LOOK FOR IN A START-UP: ’Do they have a great team with a great idea which is going to impact students in a really positive and powerful way?’

ON TECH WHEN FAULKNER WAS GROWING UP: ‘I can still remember we had type writing classes!’

‘2000-2010 was a real growth phase for education technology.’ Tech when I was a kid? I can remember the first 286’s that came into my house.’
