Aloha Geoholics! One of the many unplanned benefits of producing this podcast is that we have the unique opportunity to help out fellow geospatial professionals from across the globe. This episode is a great example of just that. The guys were joined by Christine Chaplin, GISP, Meyer Cummins, LS and Gwen Gervelis, LS representing their respective professional organizations being the Hawaii Geographic Information Coordinating Council, Hawaii Land Surveyor Association and Alaska Society of Professional Land Surveyors. The discussion loosely focused on the inherent differences of surveying Alaska & Hawaii and more importantly promoting the Pacific Rim Geospatial Conference taking place March 16 & 17 in beautiful Honolulu, Hawai`i! Music by Weezer. Mahalo!    

Technology can be a powerful force, but not an easy force to harness in schools.

Get resources from Fred's Presentations at ASTE ASTE is back in action! Educational technologists coming out of the classroom. crowdsourcing in edu is moving forward regardless of where you are. How can we share what we're doing with each other without feeling overwhelmed and alone. Personalized learning is crowd-sourced learning stunned at the level of interaction from our people. Best takeaway from this conference: extending more into the student-led. Really focusing on individual kids. We haven't had the connection, so it needs to be the center. Breaking the walls down. The culture and community in Alaska. What can we do to extend the learning beyond the four-day conference. Focusing on going forward - rollover. What was yesterday cannot possibly be tomorrow Don't just fix something, find out why it broke. Alaska Society for Technology in Education 2022 Annual Conference “https://www.aste.org/” “Where Technology and Education Converge” – “Promoting access to technology, connectivity to information resources, and technology integration for all” Theme for 2022 Conference: “Crowdsourced” “https://web.cvent.com/event/cdc41d91–1f61–46e0–8756–7789f8ef8ee0/regProcessStep1” Conference Partners Alaska Department of Education and Early Development (DEED) Alaska Librarians Association Alaska Council for the Social Studies Computer Science Teachers of Alaska Wide range of tech company sponsors iDidaContest ASTE recognizes the best photos, movies, documentaries, podcasts, music, books, apps and things through its annual digital media contest.  This year, ASTE is partnering with the Alaska Council for Social Studies to offer several Social Studies themed categories. Presentations by Frederick Lane (10th Anniversary!) - #2022–02–19 – “Don't TikTok Back to Me” - The widespread use of mobile devices and social media by students poses profound challenges for educators. At the most basic level, there are issues of distraction and student honesty. But other more serious concerns have emerged. Virtually every student carries a powerful tool for recording the world around them and publishing nearly instantly to a global audience. Moreover, the extensive use of remote instruction has given students endless opportunities to record their instructors. Some students have taken such footage to make mocking or even defamatory social media posts about their teachers. These are deeply challenging issues that require a response not only from school communities but also political leaders and social media companies. - #2022–02–20 – “Cybertraps for Educators 3.0” - Resource page for Hawai'i HSTA lectures “https://www.cybertraps.com/hsta–2022-additional-resources/” - This presentation is a preview of my June 2022 publication of the third edition of my book, “Cybertraps for Educators.” In addition to providing updates of new hardware and software that has emerged over the past two years, “Cybertraps for Educators 3.0” reorganizes digital risks for teachers into three distinct categories: personal, professional, and criminal. Educators will get a thorough overview of current cybertraps, the applicable provisions of the Model Code of Ethics for Educators, and practical steps that they can take to minimize their personal and professional risks. - #2022–02–21 – “The Cyberethics of Remote Instruction” - It turns out that nothing will drive the roll-out of remote edtech than a global pandemic. We have all had a crash course in the use of remote communication and educational tools. Although the majority of schools have returned to in-person instruction, the persistence of the pandemic and the threat of future viruses means that remote instruction, to one degree or another, is here to stay (particularly in geographically-expansive states like Alaska). What are the unique challenges and concerns arising from remote instruction? What did we learn–or what should we have learned–from the pandemic ? - #2022–02–21 – “Does Your Social Media Feed Have Any FERPA Violations?” - The Family Education Records Privacy Act (https://studentprivacy.ed.gov/) is designed to protect the privacy rights of students. As with so many other things, the combination of social media and mobile devices has made adherence to this law much more challenging. Even accidental disclosure of personally identifying information on school records can have serious legal and personal consequences. This presentation will offer a basic overview of FERPA, discuss the potential cybertraps for educators, schools, and school districts, and offer educators practical information for avoiding unnecessary mistakes.

Today we are talking with Genie Siedler, Executive Director of Alaska Society for Technology in Education, and how ASTE has been there for students in Alaska well before the pandemic hit and lessons learned from the pandemic.  She also shares some insights learned from allowing technology to get out in front of what people are prepared for when they adopt that technology.

This is a keynote that I presented for the Alaska Society for Technology in Education Conference in February. Here is the link to the video of it. 

Hayden Nilson was part of a high school state championship hockey team, which is really saying something considering he grew up in Alaska. He continues to play goalie about once a week, but has moved on to coaching and being on the Board of Directors for his old Youth Hockey League. In this episode, Hayden and I talk about how playing goalie in hockey requires a certain attitude and confidence which translates directly to standing out in the business world. He hasn’t been afraid to get very involved at both his firm and with the Alaska Society of Certified Public Accountants, both of which have benefited his career. He encourages others to have confidence in yourself – and not just in your technical abilities – in order to get ahead.

spoke with my friend and colleague, Jennifer Moss, about Augmented Reality because she recently produced the Captain Cook Augmented Reality Experience for ASTE (the Alaska Society for Technology in Education), at the Captain Cook Hotel, this last February. CCARE involved the augmentation of 17 of the hotel’s paintings and prints, each augmentation supplementing the content with additional information and context curated and created by our eLearning design team. Each painting also came with a quiz, which drew its questions from the provided, supplemental info.

This past week at the Alaska Society for Education (ASTE) conference in Anchorage, I met a whole lot of great people with interesting ideas about education. Two of those people were Nicole Fuerst and Matthew Turner, who collaborated on a set of presentations at ASTE exhibiting their experience with and the promise in using badges and gamification for K-12 education. Their practice, as well as their proposals, were grounded in the works of Sebastian Deterding and Richard Bartle, both of whom come up in the podcast.

Technology is changing the way we do so many things - how we communicate, navigate and regulate our every day lives. So how is it changing the way that we educate? We're taking a look at that question, plus many caregivers wonder if learning from a screen is fundamentally different than learning from a good, old-fashioned book. So this time we're exploring what technological innovation means to the future of classroom learning. IN-STUDIO GUESTS: Joining host Shana Sheehy in the studio are two high-tech educators: Dr. Mark Bailey has been exploring the use of pedagogically powerful technological tools to support early childhood education for more than 25 years. After receiving his teaching license in the 70’s, Mark taught young children for most of a decade before completing a doctorate in educational psychology. Dr. Bailey has founded the Early Learning Community at Pacific University where he serves as Professor of Education and Director of the Child Learning and Development Center. Amanda Duvall is the K-12 Educational Technology teacher for the Anchorage School District where she supports teachers coaching them on integration of technology into the curriculum. She is also the Anchorage representative for the Alaska Society for Technology in Education. Duvall has been an educator for over 11 years in both Washington and Alaska.
