Podcasts about appsevents

What happens when you speak with two leaders in the field of educational technology? You learn a lot! We were fortunate to speak with Dan Taylor and John Mikton, who, in their spare time, host the big dog of international education podcasting, The International Schools Podcast.Dan has been involved in the Google for Education community since 2006 and is the founder and director of AppsEvents, a Google-based PD provider. He has trained educators across the globe from El Salvador to Vietnam. John currently serves as the Primary Technology for Learning Coordinator at the International School of Geneva – La Châtaigneraie. John's journey as an educator has spanned Africa, Asia, and Europe. Of those years, 18 have been in school leadership roles, particularly in educational technology leadership. In addition to his coordinator role, John works as a trainer and course designer at the Principal Training Center / Teacher Training Center and as a coach for the Faria Education Group. We asked the guiding question “What does technology use in teaching and learning look like post-pandemic and what it might look like going forward?” John and Dan responded with so many helpful insights! Here are a few: The pandemic was an example of the power of disruption to bring about change and innovationA focus on well-being has emergedWe have the technology for the next possible need to go virtual, so going forward, the focus is on the plans, structures, connections, and policies to support the students, teachers, and parents. There has been an expansion in online schools, and also in hybrid and blended learning. It is still early to say where we stand with Generative AI. The driving question should be, what is the “value add” of schools when we have GenAI? Personalizing professional and personal learning are still critical goals for schools.Lessons learned from hosting the International Schools Podcast: Look to start your own podcast; it's a great way to share your ideas, and it's not that hard! And as a host, you learn so much!There are concerns about social media and how they lead to divisive behaviors. However, on a positive note, social media can help grow one's professional brand. There are also concerns about the ongoing teacher shortage.Dan and John then reversed the course of the interview to ask us questions about the Educators Going Global podcast. We had fun comparing notes!

The COVID pandemic saw many online businesses boom, especially those centered on E-commerce. But entrepreneurs running in-person events really took a hit. Today's show focuses on one of those stories, and narrates how one owner re-invented what his company was doing by becoming a ‘Value Added Reseller' (VAR) software service. Dan Taylor is the CEO of AppsEvents, a ‘Google for Education' partner whose company previously ran a huge number of conferences worldwide before diversifying into VAR: “There are different ways you can get into it. Some of the selling is direct with Google, some of that work is with a distributor but, essentially … The ‘value added' part means you can sell your services on top. So you can sell ongoing support services, you can do setup services, you can do customization, that's kind of what the business model is.”

This is the first in an occasional series of podcasts I want to do on one of my favorite topics ‘teacher entrepreneurs'. Many teachers are looking to start an entrepreneurial endeavor as a ‘side hustle' and some to do it full time. We hear the stories of teachers who are doing just that!   Andy Fossett has had an interesting entrepreneurial journey. He moved to Japan to teach in a rural school where he was the only foreigner. He transitioned to founding GMB - a company providing online fitness training. They also run in-person workshops around the world.   Listen on: iTunes / Podbean / Stitcher / Spotify / YouTube   This podcast is sponsored by ‘AppsEvents'.

We first met Aaron and Steve earlier in 2019 in Taiwan where they attended an AppsEvents Google Summit. They were both teachers in Beijing, China and recently left to form their own company called ‘Inspire Citizens' which focuses on ‘Global Citizenship'. Their organization helps schools build a culture of global competence, service learning, and relevant problem-based learning, built upon local and global community engagement. They incorporate a lot of design thinking principles which is a huge interest of ours at AppsEvents.   Aaron and Steve are both interesting and thoughtful guys and it's a great story of ‘teacher entrepreneurs' and please let me know if this is interesting to you as I would like to record more interviews on this topic.   We also talk a lot about what it's actually like to live and teach in China and the realities of daily life there for anybody considering a move to one of the ever-increasing numbers of International Schools.   Listen on: iTunes / Podbean / Stitcher / Spotify / YouTube   This podcast is sponsored by ‘AppsEvents'.

Getting leadership buy in Getting tech team on board Types of implementation Pilot projects 1 to 1 BYOD Chromebook carts Key factors for success Combining with Chrome use on existing PC's (e.g. computer labs, support staff, SLT) Types of devices Training We have a thing or two to say about this ;) Initial training: Admins and key users Coordinating the training of new staff each academic year Cyber Cafe model (h/t to John Mikton) Encouraging staff to become Certified.

Podcast Episode 16 Transcript Welcome to The Teaching Space Podcast coming to you from Guernsey in the Channel Islands. Hello and welcome to Episode 16 of The Teaching Space Podcast. It's Martine here. Thanks for joining me. Today's episode is not going to be in the usual format. It is taking the format of an audio diary. Let me tell you why.... On the 23rd, 24th, and 25th of March, there was a Google Summit in London, and I was lucky enough to be asked to speak at the event. This is my first time speaking at an event like this as an educator and a Google Certified Trainer, and it was quite nerve-racking, I have to say. I thought it would be a nice idea for the podcast to record some audio snippets from the event and share them with you, so what follows is an audio diary covering my experience. I hope you enjoy it. Ooh, before I forget, I should mention the audio I recorded was on my mobile device, so if the quality isn't as good as normal, that's the reason. Okay, let's go. The French College Hello, it's Martine here. I thought I'd record an audio diary of my experience of the London Google Summit. I've just arrived at the Lycee International de Londres. Please excuse my pronunciation. Well, it was a bit awkward getting in. I had to speak to the security guard, and they checked my name, and it wasn't on the list, and it wasn't on the list, and then it was on the list, so that was interesting, but I'm here now, and I appear to be the only one. My obsessive approach to punctuality was paying off there as usual. I'm in a gorgeous classroom, and there is coffee, and there are croissants because it's a French college, so I'm going to help myself. I shall check in later and let you know how my sessions go and what I learn from the sessions I attend. Delivering My First Session Hello. It's Martine here. Okay, so I have just done my first session, and it was called How to Mark Smarter and Faster With Google. This was a session I was delivering. When I said I've done my first session, I mean I've delivered my first session. It was an hour long, and it went really well. It was well attended, and we did about half an hour's sort of chit-chat and demonstration and a bit of presentation from me, and then we had half an hour for people to basically have a play with the tools that I taught them about.  Tool One: Loom The three tools that I shared were Loom, which is a Chrome extension for recording your screen. Tool Two: Google Keep I also showed the learners how to open up Google Keep in Google Docs and, essentially, store your frequently used feedback comments in Google Keep on a sort of digital Post-It Note and then open that up within Google Docs and then put your comments into comments on Google Docs, if that makes sense. I will share a video explaining that in a bit more detail. I promise I did a better job in the session that I delivered.  Tool Three: Google Forms I also shared how to use Google Forms with the quiz option enabled, and this allows you to create self-grading forms or quizzes, and that can be really useful for formative feedback because you can input a variety of different types of comment based on whether the learner has got the answer right or wrong. So if someone's got an answer wrong, you can then maybe signpost them to extra resources like a video or something like that. If you were doing a quiz on English punctuation, and someone did an apostrophe wrong then selected the wrong answer, then you could maybe direct them to a video about apostrophes.  Summary Of Session One Those are the three things I covered. Link: How to Mark Faster and Smarter with Google Presentation . You will be able to jump into that presentation and see lots of other links. I hope that's useful to you, and I will try my very best to record a little sound bite after I've done my next session. Now, my next session is The Life-Changing Magic of Electronic Filing. My audience was a bit quiet this morning, so I'm not entirely sure how that's going to go down with them, but let's see. Over and out. Second Session It's me. I just finished my second session, which was The Life-Changing Magic of Electronic Filing. It wasn't as well attended as the first, I have to say, but I kind of, on the fly, converted it into a very informal sit around the table and talked about Google Drive, and that actually ended up working really well, so I'm really pleased. Final Reflection Hello. It's me again. I thought I'd record a final reflection on the whole experience. Just to give you a bit of background which I should probably have done this at the start. The reason I knew about these Google Summits was that the company that organizes them, AppsEvents, came to Guernsey and did a Google Summit, and it was really good, very well organised great speakers, and all that stuff. I attended the summit and kind of sat there thinking, "This is awesome, but I could probably speaking because I know some stuff too as a Google certified trainer," so it was going to the initial summit that kind of made me have the confidence to pitch myself as a speaker for this London event. The fact that it was in London and it wasn't too difficult to get to, it was a quick flight, also made it really appealing. Pitching  I find it really hard pitching myself for things. When I was 20, I think I would have had no problem pitching myself at all, which is really ironic, as I knew a heck of a lot less when I was 20, but I think, as I get older, I get a little bit more anxious about things like that. Anyway, I pitched myself. They wanted me to do the summit, and that was all fine and dandy. Networking Perspective Reflecting on the whole experience of being a teacher and a speaker at these type of events, I can honestly say it was brilliant. I had some great conversations with people who I'm really hoping will end up listening to The Teaching Space Podcast as a result. Met some amazing teacher folks and education folks who I'm really hoping that I'll have further contact with and they'll be sort of people I can share ideas with in the future, so just simply from a networking perspective, it was fantastic. Personal Development From a personal development perspective, I've pushed myself outside of my comfort zone by pitching myself for an event and being anxious about it. The two sessions I ran went very well. On reflection, the second one was not pitched at a high enough level for the group, but then I didn't really know that until I got there, so that was a useful learning experience. It looks like most people who attend these events tend to be on the more advanced side, so I know that for future, which is brilliant. That being said, the people that I worked with had a great time, so I'm really happy. Feedback  The feedback came in, and the feedback on my sessions was really good, excellent, in fact, so I'm thrilled about that. I am hoping that AppsEvents will want me to work with them again, so sort of major reflection on it being pushing yourself outside your comfort zone is a really good thing. It's been a confidence boost. If you ever, dear listener, get an opportunity to speak at an event of this nature, then I really encourage you to go for it. It is nerve-racking. It is, like I said, pushing yourself outside your comfort zone, but I think the learning I got from it far outweighed the anxiety I initially felt, as it usually does when you put yourself outside your comfort zone. Learning Perspective From a learning perspective, I didn't attend too many sessions because I was kind of wanting to balance my energy on the day. That was another sort of positive move on my part, I feel. I didn't go to all of the sessions in between mine. I very carefully picked what I attended. One of the highlights for me was I attending a session on Google Apps Script, which was a programming session to enable you to create extensions and things like that. Yes, it was as geeky as it sounds, I can promise you that, but while I didn't sort of, during the session, create my own extension or anything like that, I got a sort of foundational understanding of what Google Apps Script is all about, and it certainly made me interested in exploring that more.  All in All... All in all, a fantastic weekend. I'm really grateful to the people who supported me throughout it. I must give a shout out to my friend Gemma, although she won't be listening, but she put me up for the weekend. We had a lovely time, so that was excellent. Like I said, if you get a similar opportunity, I really recommend you push yourself outside of that comfort zone and give it a go. That's me, over and out. If you're a brand-new listener to The Teaching Space Podcast, then this is not the regular format, as I said at the start of the show, but a lot of my listeners were very supportive and keen to hear about how the event went, so in response to that, I wanted to share just a few thoughts and a few snippets, not particularly coherently, but it was kind of captured in the moment, so I hope that works for you.  Wrap Up I'm going to wrap things up now, but just before I go, if you are not a member of The Teaching Space Facebook group, it's called The Teaching Space Staff Room, then it would be great to have you there. We've had some good conversation going on recently. It's a great place to network and share ideas and talk to other teachers in confidence, so hop over to Facebook and look for The Teaching Space Staff Room, and you can ask to join the group. Thanks for tuning in to this episode, and I hope you'll join me next time. 

Dan Taylor and I talk about how to build a business around running live events and how to make them profitable.
