This episode is brought to you by Veracross and Toddle.As independent schools integrate technology more deeply into their educational practices and administrative operations, they face critical questions: How can they protect their digital ecosystems? What strategies can be employed to shield against cyber threats? Furthermore, how does cybersecurity intersect with the broader educational goals of fostering a safe and innovative learning environment?Robert Olsen, Global Practice Leader for Cybersecurity and Data Privacy at Ankura Consulting Group, addresses these pressing concerns. Olsen emphasizes the necessity for schools to adopt a proactive approach to cybersecurity. This stance is not merely about defense but about building a resilient digital culture that can withstand and adapt to the evolving nature of cyber threats.Olsen remarks, "The reality is, threat actors are becoming increasingly sophisticated, making it all the more important for schools to adopt a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity." This observation by Olsen highlights a critical challenge: the pace at which cyber threats evolve demands an equally dynamic and informed response from independent schools.Transitioning from Olsen's overarching insights, Christina Lewellen, the Executive Director of ATLIS, and Hiram Cuevas, the Director of Information Systems and Academic Technology at St. Christopher's School, provide practical perspectives on implementing these strategies within the school setting. Lewellen advocates for integrating technology to enhance collaboration and break down barriers within the school community. She asserts, "It's about leveraging technology to break down walls and foster collaboration," underscoring the essential role of cybersecurity in safeguarding the community's integrity and privacy.Cuevas adds a personal dimension to the discussion by sharing his experiences with technology's dual nature—its capacity to connect and expose. He reflects on using features like 'Find My' on Apple devices, balancing the convenience and peace of mind such technologies offer with the potential privacy concerns they raise. "It's not about monitoring but ensuring safety," Cuevas says, highlighting the nuanced approach required when integrating technology into educational settings.Olsen builds on these individual perspectives by addressing the unique challenges independent schools face, such as limited resources, which can make the implementation of comprehensive cybersecurity measures seem daunting. He advises a strategic focus: "It's about identifying the most critical assets and focusing efforts on protecting those." This approach advocates for maximizing the impact of existing resources through prioritization and strategic investment.Going deeper, Olsen explores the broader implications of cybersecurity within the educational sector, including privacy issues and the ethical use of technology. He champions the creation of a secure yet practical ecosystem. "The goal is to create a secure and nurturing environment where technology enhances the educational experience without compromising the privacy or safety of the school community," he elaborates.Bill Stites, the Director of Technology at Montclair Kimberley Academy, often highlights the importance of transparent communication facilitated by technology. "Slack has become crucial for us," he might say, emphasizing the role of digital tools in bridging the communication gap across decentralized campuses. This reliance on digital platforms underscores the critical need for robust cybersecurity measures to protect the flow of information.Olsen's expertise not only sheds light on the challenges schools face in securing their digital domains but also offers a road map for...

Josh Luckens interviews Dr. Thomas J. Tobin, who discusses the power of “the big five: voice, choice, agency, safety, and belonging” in teaching and learning. Dr. Tobin is a specialist in Teaching, Learning, and Academic Technology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He is a celebrated scholar and speaker on technology-mediated education and is the co-author of Reach Everyone, Teach Everyone: Universal Design for Learning in Higher Education.Dr. Tobin shares his belief that all learners are capable of transforming themselves with the right tools, time, and the space to imagine new possibilities in their lives. He offers strategies for meeting both students and faculty where they are and implementing evidence-based practices to support success in the classroom. Paraphrasing Dr. Tobin:The real joy of teaching is seeing your learners engage with problems, ideas, and concepts in ways that you might never have thought to do.People, groups, institutions, systems—they don't change unless they themselves perceive a need to do so. I've had far more success when I ask questions to allow people to identify their own challenges than just coming in with suggestions.It all goes back to motivation; unless you have a reason why you want to learn something, you don't learn it. And if you have a genuine reason to stick with a learning process, you'll stick with it way beyond what other people tell you to do. That's the kind of inspiration and engagement that we aspire to as learning designers.Additional resources:Dr. Tobin's website, thomasjtobin.com, featuring links to all of his publications and photographs of his fabulous handlebar mustacheChickering & Gamson's Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education: Resource guide from the University of FloridaCoLab Podcast Episode 7- Universal Design for LearningEditors: Megan Hamilton Giebert, Lorrie Weldon, and LaToya Hinton (March, 2023)

For many students, navigating the college experience is unfamiliar and may sometimes feel alienating. Many institutions don’t operate much differently than they did 400 years ago, despite the student body being dramatically more diverse than it was back then. College campuses are beginning to transform to support students with their diversity of backgrounds and experiences. Higher Ed Rewired asks Anthony Jack of Harvard Graduate School of Education, Sara Whitley of the NASPA Center for First-generation Student Success, and Ji Son of California State University, Los Angeles, “Why is a sense of belonging important to student success for first generation students?” If you haven’t already, please review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to your podcasts.  It will help us bring new listeners to learn more about student success efforts occurring across the country. Higher Ed ReWired is produced by California State University.
