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:
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?
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
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
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

Sample Quotes:
‘I grew up all the way up north…in a city which practically gets no sunlight in the winter.’
‘I’ve lived a portion of my life in the footsteps of my mother and another portion of my life in the footsteps of my father.’
On wanting to be a musician: ’Everyone said don’t be crazy get a proper job….but I realised I didn’t have that much to do. I didn’t like to go to school that much.’
‘I think Finland is a uniquely positioned place to create learning games.’
‘What do you get when you put amazing engineers and amazing media people in the same table…you get games, right?’
‘We (Finland) are also ….really great in Education.’
‘Our new curriculum is like a work of art.’
‘The cool thing is that Finnish education is unique in the sense that it’s so inclusive.’
‘My dad was a professor of psychology. I used to be a test subject when I was seven years old so i’d have these electrodes coming out from my head and i’d play a computer game.’
‘I love this classical idea of philosophy; this love of wisdom, this love of understanding.’
On Rovio/Angry Birds ‘It was some of the most amazing time of my life. We laid the whole ground work…in terms of the philosophy of fun learning…in those years’
‘The idea of wanting to embrace big ideas is strong with me, but I want to combine it with impact.’
It’s been strange..to get into this position where you can actually bring so many people together and they just CLICK.’
‘We don’t want to get a free ride, because we are education or learning; we want the game to be amazing, period.’
