The Edtech Podcast supports the mission of WomenEd: #WomenEd is a grassroots movement which connects existing and aspiring leaders in education. Even though women dominate the workforce across all sectors of education there still remain gender inequalities, particularly at senior leadership level. The situation regarding BME leadership is even more dire considering the fact that the student population is becoming increasingly diverse. This situation is clearly unacceptable and rapid change is needed. #WomenEd will therefore campaign and use its collective power to make improvements, so that there is a more equitable balance in terms of gender and ethnicity at leadership level across all sectors of education. http://www.womened.org/

1. VOTE for The Edtech Podcast in the British Podcasting Awards! 

What's in this episode?

• Introduction, British Podcasting Awards and Wambiz

• 1:1 interview with Eric Sheninger, Senior Fellow and Thought Leader on Digital Leadership with the International Center for Leadership in Education (ICLE).

• Exploration of turnaround story & Eric's time as award-winning Principal at New Milford High School in the US

• Recommended reads on leadership and change management

• Frameworks for building a team and gaining investment for projects 

Thank you to this week's Sponsor

A message from our friends at Wambiz: 

When it comes to communicating with their students and getting them to collaborate outside of the classroom, teachers are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Today’s tech savvy students simply do not engage with email, the traditional means of teacher-student communication, whilst social media, Facebook, WhatsApp and the like are also not the appropriate medium as they blur the lines between personal life and professional life, providing no visibility to the institution of any potential inappropriate behaviour. At WAMBIZ we solve this problem by allowing institutions from all sectors to have their very own branded private social network, letting your teachers and students communicate and collaborate in a safe and secure environment, which you control. With a familiar look and feel to other social media platforms, guaranteeing adoption and engagement, but with the safeguards needed for educational practice, the app facilitates key benefits including learning outcomes, teaching and assessment, student support, social inclusion, social media awareness and much more…

To book a free demo or find out more please visit wambiz.com or contact us at info@wambiz.com and implement your own institutional app today!

And if you are a school listening please contact us to find out about our ‘Safebook 4 Schools’ project backed by the West Midlands Police!”

Sample quotations: 

• 'I was the principal who didn’t believe in any of this. I wrote the policies that blocked social media.’

• 'Social media, especially twitter, opened my eyes to a world I never new existed.’

• Kids saw more value in their learning; we didn’t see technology as an add on anymore

• It was hard working with the staff who’d been there for thirty or forty years.’ 

• In education we focus on the yeah but’s when we need to focus on the what if’s

• Leadership is about action, not about title, position or power

A message from our friends at Full Fabric to all the higher education listeners out there. If you work in university admissions and you’re considering ways to streamline your marketing and on boarding processes check them out! Full Fabric is developed by a team who worked within a university and were frustrated by the experience of supporting students effectively. They realised any software solution needed to be customisable to help universities recruit, market to and admit students in one place. All data is hosted on the cloud, meaning it can be accessed anytime, anywhere and on a range of devices.

If that sounds of interest to you, you can request a free consultation about your university’s admissions process by visiting learn.fullfabric.com/podcast 

Sample quotations: 

Yoshimi Ishizaka, ICT Connect 21

• The Japanese education system is relatively centralised 
• The after school education is so active; not only the physical classroom, but online
• The National Standard curriculum is raised every 10 years; 2020 - the concept of the revision is active learning 
• Starting a programming class will be so tough. We came to england to learn your experiences
• Many edtech venture companies have recently started in Japan. The after school market is so big. The b2c market rather than b2school.
• Another problem is the Japanese teachers are so busy. Too busy!
• If some technology can reduce their burden…that’s very great.

Rob Bennett, Bloodhound 

• What are we watching? We are watching kids get inspired and engaged about rocket cars! 
• Engineers: people who use technology to solve problems as, of course, we all do on planet earth from the day we are born
• How am I, the most complicated computer in the world going to solve problems? I need equations. 
• I am from the land of the free and brave: Cornwall.
• We are like the starship enterprise, going boldly where no man has ever done. We will prove the science and we will do it safely.
• Produce 9 tonnes of thrust, just pop it down the run way.
• We are communicating the language of maths which are universal 

Children from Islington Schools 

• Franklin, 11 years old, Newington Green Primary School 
• ‘I’ve seen VR headsets, different robots.’ 

• Matthew, Newington Green Primary School
• ‘I enjoyed the robot one.’ 
• What gets you engaged? ‘ICT’ 

• Nor, 
• A digital leader is responsible for technology and ICT. They are one of the good people.’ 

• Jackson, Alexandra Palance Secondry School 
• ‘I like the robotics.’ 

 Dean Jacobs, Wibbu 

• We’re a group of game developers and linguists and language teachers who have come together to modernise the way people learns languages.
• I’ve always been in love with languages.
• Our philosophy is about long term engagement with language learning 
• We had a concept game out last year. We had a quarter of a million downloads and went to the number one in the apps store education category in 20 countries. 
• I think it’s really exciting for publishers. I don’t think they’ve seen something which is so gamified. 

Melissa Philipps, BAFTA Young Games Designer of the Year 

• There are brand new games design courses opening up all over the country 
• I’m a big believer in the see it be it 

Kai Mulligan Oliver, Nintendo

• I think its so much easier to be creative now. Being creative digitally is so much in the minds of young people these days
• The tools are now democratised. you don’t need to code. 
• In the indie scene i know lots of people haven’t done degrees

Gustaf Nordback, DigiExam

On the educator side we solve the problem of marking

Circle with Disney got in touch via twitter thinking I was based in the US, but although they’re yet to come to the UK they are still saying hi to all of you lovely listeners because our second biggest audience are in the US, but wherever you are hello! So what is Circle? Well, I think everyone listening has probably cried to Bambi, or Dumbo so you know what Disney is! Circle with Disney is a little device designed for families to help manage content and time spent online across devices in the home. It pairs to Wi-Fi routers and 4G or WiFi networks of Tablets, PCs, Smart Phones, and all devices its connected with and allows parents to filter content, set time limits and bedtimes across platforms like YouTube, Minecraft, Facebook, Netflix and Snapchat. Which reminds me of when my mum tragically pulled the plug from our Amstrad PC on a hot summer’s day just before we could crush the boss man on Kung Fu Master. I didn’t thank her then, but I definitely do now. 

The best thing is the kind folks at Circle have sorted out special Free Shipping and a $10 OFF discount for you listeners if you go to meetcircle.com and enter the code EDTECH. The code will be live till the 31st March. Thank you Circle.

The Edtech Podcast supports the mission of WomenEd: #WomenEd is a grassroots movement which connects existing and aspiring leaders in education. Even though women dominate the workforce across all sectors of education there still remain gender inequalities, particularly at senior leadership level. The situation regarding BME leadership is even more dire considering the fact that the student population is becoming increasingly diverse. This situation is clearly unacceptable and rapid change is needed. #WomenEd will therefore campaign and use its collective power to make improvements, so that there is a more equitable balance in terms of gender and ethnicity at leadership level across all sectors of education. http://www.womened.org/

What's in this episode?

This week we have we’re in conversation with everyone from Pearson, The Bookseller, Edtech Exchange, Oxford University Press, Assembly, the Audio Book Publishers Association, Kortext, recorded at ‘Edtech for publishers’ at FutureBook '16, asking questions such as:

1. What can edtech and publishers offer one another?

2. Can two distinct business cultures meet in the middle or not?

3. Is there a short term cost financially to publishers who are embracing edtech?

4. Outside of content, what are the infrastructure considerations on edtech for publishers across data, and good connectivity

5. What challenges do the financial squeezes in education and some difficult edtech business models present?

    

A big thank you to The Bookseller, Future Book and Edtech Exchange who worked on The Edtech for Publishers event together, and if you like this episode you might be tempted to also check out episode 37 on textbooks vs. technology.

What's in this episode?

1. Announcing an official media partnership with the SXSWedu® Conference & Festival
2. In conversation with Richard Taylor, UK-based angel-investor in c.12 edtech start ups
3. Recorded at Bett, you’ll hear what Taylor believes are:
   1. The 3 lessons for edtech success
   2. What he thinks of accelerators, distributors and teacher pension schemes
   3. And why he thinks part of our latest obsession with coding is a red herring.

Sample Quotes (@dick_taylor)

• Investing in early stage start ups is like a horse race. Only the horse race takes seven years and half of them you need to take out and shoot.
• Sometimes you make money but actually the better lesson is when you lose money.
• When I first started in education i didn't really care what it was or if it had any impact. If it made money that was all I really cared about.
• The ones that are more likely to be successful are the ones that have a teacher in the founding team
• 'When schools buy or use edtech there is a big cost, but also a big opportunity cost.’
• 'Schools buy million pounds worth of stuff pretty much how the local football club buy sausage rolls for their fundraising night'

EdTechXEurope is the leading thought leader summit bringing together executive level investors, innovators and industry influencers from European and international education companies. Now in its fourth year, EdTechXEurope hosted 800+ global attendees and invited over 150 speakers to showcase EdTech innovations and perspectives from around the world. http://edtechxeurope.com/ 

The EdTech Exchange is Europe's largest community of EdTech Founders and provides members with mentoring, support and a programme of events designed to share best practice through peer-to-peer learning. The Exchange brings together like-minded EdTech entrepreneurs, encouraging them to exchange ideas, swap war stories, and give and receive advice from their peers. It is solely for Founders of EdTech companies who have raised at least £100,000 of financing or revenue, with many members having raised significantly more.  http://edtech.exchange/ 

The Edtech Podcast supports the mission of WomenEd: #WomenEd is a grassroots movement which connects existing and aspiring leaders in education. Even though women dominate the workforce across all sectors of education there still remain gender inequalities, particularly at senior leadership level. The situation regarding BME leadership is even more dire considering the fact that the student population is becoming increasingly diverse. This situation is clearly unacceptable and rapid change is needed. #WomenEd will therefore campaign and use its collective power to make improvements, so that there is a more equitable balance in terms of gender and ethnicity at leadership level across all sectors of education. http://www.womened.org/

What's in this episode?

1. Resources, funding and inspiration for teachers looking to do more cross curricular work on science and creativity
2. Career paths for young people looking to engage in science and creativity
3. Broadening mainstream media depictions or lack of them re: lab technicians, engineers and coders.

Quotes: 

Sophie Deen, Detective Dot (@detectivedot)

‘I’m a commitment phone so I hate describing myself as any one thing’

'I was talking to people this week about how amazing it would be if Eastenders got a coder or an engineer.’

‘I think we all need to have training on our unconscious bias’ because we all have them.’

'I don’t get on well with traditional education systems. but all kids and all people love stories.’

Dr Jess Wade, Imperial College (@jesswade)

'Get people working on something that isn’t just blowing people up or playing a computer game.'

'Film industry and gaming. they are really struggling to recruit the right graduates. But you have the lovely investment banks looking to recruit you from day one'

‘All art galleries have an integrated and in depth chemistry centre.’

‘I did an art foundation before starting my physics degree. Being able to think in this creative visual way has definitely helped.’

Jennifer Gratton, Make:Do (@make_do_space)

‘As a D&T teacher I’d have kids turn around to me and say why are we writing this is not an english lesson.’

Charter schools are really taking a stance to make their education more relevant to the communities that they are in

'What can schools do to start making this a reality? Give their teachers more authority. Give them time.'

Alan Crawford, Vice Principal, Shireland Collegiate Academy

• Reading about emotional intelligence is something I find really interesting
• Our whole academy is built on Office 365

Sir Mark Grundy, Headteacher, Shireland Collegiate Academy, @sirmarkgrundy, quotes:

• We’ve created a system which frees hours and hours and hours of staff time
• At the risk of putting myself out of favour with the photocopying industry…what most schools do, is photocopy the world. It’s not an economic way of delivering learning.
• I’m stubborn in that I won’t accept that technology should force our processes to change. We are your best and worst place to pilot anything.
• What you can’t do is build all sorts of technology benefits on top of chaos.
• Not enough schools are stubborn around the processes of learning and school improvement and school management.
• I have a problem with BringYourOwnDevice. It’s just chaos, utter chaos!
• The depth of scrutiny we now get from our trustees is at a level I’ve never seen
• I think technology is just such a great lever for support and change and it’s a great leveller
• I expect the leadership team to serve the staff and the kids. I don’t expect the staff to serve the leadership team.
• Do our staff feel pressured? Yes they do. Do they feel accountable? Yes they do. Do I think they feel well supported by us? Yes, I think they do.
• We have pushed our staff to put try and do a more evidence based analysis of what they do
• My experience in the DFE at the moment is they are genuinely looking at how to do things differently.
• I was hugely impressed. She spoke about a different landscape. She touched on the sort of skills our young people need. Every conversation has involved how do we harness the power of technology
