To scale up means to expand. But when in practice, it is very easy to confuse scaling up with generalizing. Scaling up teaching is not the same as providing the individualized care to all students, (which is simply not possible) or to give the same amount of care and time to all students. It's about expanding the care that you give to individual students and building a strategy that can accommodate the number, diversity, and learning styles of all your students at the same time. Today we chat about how to start scaling your teaching and learning. In the first half, I provide several ideas on how to scale including using my new innovation journal, Reigniting Your Spark. In the second half of our show, Renee Houser joins me to dig into scaling with our mental capacity and how our new venture, Living Your Learning is meeting a need for just in time professional development (https://livingyourlearning.education/) Purchase a journal! https://thedotconsulting.co/books/ Follow us at Living Your Learning @livurlearning

Have you thought about the power of first principles? I know I had not until Mike Acerra, the co-founder of LuxBlox reminded me. When Mike and Heather Acerra started to develop Lux Blox, they were informed by their experience observing their sons play with construction toys. The couple was driven by their passion for heuristic learning (learning by playing) and their enthusiasm for great design. Mike, an artist by training, and Heather, a human resources executive, started exploring, learning, and developing until they found a fit Lux Blox, called “Next-Level Legos” by New York Magazine, authenticated by STEM.org, is a revolutionary new block that replicates what nature does at a molecular level, allowing simple to very complex structures to be built. Lux’s patented snapping hinge connects through linking, which creates structures that can move, bend and fold. These blocks bring powerful learning for both kids and adults. Join us for an educational and motivational chat with Mike!

In the last several years, interest in artificial intelligence (AI) has surged. The field of AI suffers from both too few and too many definitions. For us, a useful definition of AI is the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence. Examples include tasks such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision making under uncertainty, learning, and translation between languages. The technology field has invested in the research and development of data and artificial intelligence to create efficiency in business and in work flow. Today we have the privilege of speaking with an expert in the field, Chemere Davis, who will walk us through what is AI, Data, and Machine Learning. Chemere has over 15 years of experience in the field of analysis and brings new perspective and understanding to this emerging and innovative topic. Get ready for a great conversation!
