On the evening of March 24, 1990, nearly one hundred patrons gathered to celebrate Carnivale at the Happy Land Social Club, a small informal night club in the Bronx that catered to a mostly Honduran clientele. The evening took a deadly turn when, around 3:30 am, an explosion of fire roared up the stairway leading to the second-floor club, blocking the only exit from the building and trapping the patrons in a room rapidly filling with toxic smoke and fire. It's unknown how many patrons managed to escape the fire, but by the time the fire department had extinguished the blaze, eighty-seven people were dead.Thank you to the amazing Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research!ReferencesBarbanel, Josh. 1990.

In this episode, https://www.linkedin.com/in/brholland/ (Dr. Beth Holland), a Partner at https://practices.learningaccelerator.org/guides/digital-equity/introduction (The Learning Accelerator) (TLA), talked with https://www.leoniconsultinggroup.com/team-lcg (Elana) about the nuances and challenges of achieving digital equity, explains why the most successful EdTech products are often the simplest ones, reframes “learning loss” as “unfinished learning,” and so much more.
Digital access and digital equity are not the same thing. While digital access is having the physical access to an adequate computer and Internet access, digital equity goes further and explores the experiences and opportunities that students have in those digital spaces. It also prompts us to ask some important questions: Are enabling conditions, supports, and systems in place beyond infrastructure to make sure that schools and teachers can implement rich learning experiences for students? Do these experiences honor student needs, interests, and motivations? Join us as we unpack this topic with Dr. Beth Holland, Partner of Research and Measurement at The Learning Accelerator.

“...[S]uccessful movements to advance civil rights for historically marginalized groups relied not just on political action. Music, culture, art, television, churches, neighborhood groups, and volunteer organizations have played instrumental parts in bringing about change.” – Beth Holland and Sarah Silvers, “I Think You're Wrong (But I'm Listening)” One thing I like about this quote is it captures the reality that there is not just one answer or just one route to progress; there are many, and they are all important. Another thing I like about the quote is it helps break down an overwhelming situation into a more manageable question of, “What can I do, right now?” Obviously, this podcast is all about music, and its effect on our lives. And we’re talking today about what role music can play in advancing social justice.

In this episode I talked with Dr. Beth Holland about her work at COSN around issues related to digital equity. The last part of the conversation we talked about stand-up paddleboarding and lessons learned from racing stand-up paddleboards. Yes, it's an unusual mix of topics. But it is a fun mix and we had a great time recording the conversation. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
Digital Equity in schools involves many different conversations, from big-picture politics to families and their access to - and knowledge about - technology used for learning. Dr. Beth Holland from the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) and Mindy Fiscus from the Illinois Learning Technology Center discuss what digital equity conversations are going on at both the national and state level before we dig down to talk about what schools and teachers can do to ensure equity within their classrooms.

Problems in education are often a complex mix of social, cognitive, and historical processes. Dr. Beth Holland, author of a recent Education Week piece we read, joins us to talk about education perspective. Later, Dr. Holland shares her expertise in studying school networks as we discuss how we can get more from our efforts in working with colleagues. The Peer Review brings us a paper from our listeners that was a favorite from 2018. We read a brief from 100Kin10 about improving representation of women in STEM. We drink Revenge of the Dragon, a nitro stout from Martin City Brewing Company in Kansas City, MO.

Our EdTechTeach college, Dr. Beth Holland joins us on episode 7 to discuss the process, challenges and potential for school improvement. Through improvement science and the effort to start small and learn fast, we can potentially learn how to create sustainable change in schools and avoid institutional isomorphism.
Could it be that one of the biggest barriers to change is that we rarely have any real shared understanding of the language we use around learning? That's one of the many interesting conclusions that Dr. Beth Holland arrived at while doing her recently published dissertation from Johns Hopkins University. And it's one of the many topics we discuss in this great conversation about the intersection of learning, language and leading in today's modern schools. Among some of her conclusions: That leaders really need to embrace models of learning that may be foreign to their existing mental models. That great systems around the world share a language of pedagogy. That the role of the leader now needs to shift to be more about brokering relationships and helping people navigate the different layers of their organizations. That trust and collegiality are the most important parts of culture when change is in the offing. And that we're going to have to get beyond "symbolic language" like "personalized" and "blended" and "future ready" if we are ever going to see real change occur.

Welcome to episode 79 of the EdTech Situation Room from December 27, 2017, where technology news meets educational analysis. This week Jason Neiffer (@techsavvyteach), Beth Holland (@brholland) and Wes Fryer (@wfryer) discussed "The 2017 EdTech Year in Review." The first discussion topic was the misinterpretation of “research” in educational technology and how it leads to editorials about banning technology in classrooms. Secondly, the line between "creepy surveillance" (by social media companies for advertising as well as governmental mass surveillance) and helpful artificial intelligence / algorithm powered information filtering was explored, but definitely not definitively resolved since many of the recent disclosures related to data mining and privacy have multiple facets of benefit and trade offs which make "black and white" conclusions difficult. The third topic of the show was the ways in which Google and Microsoft faced off in educational technology circles in 2017, from the Chromebook to Windows 10 S, to Google Docs and Microsoft 365 (including OneNote). Several additional topics were included in the show planning document (linked in our shownotes) but not addressed because of time limitations. Geeks of the week included $20 Amazon Fire Tablets, ways to view and correct information Twitter has collected and analyzed about your personal account, and great MakerEd / STEM gifts for young people in your life: Makedo and Bloxels. Don't miss our referenced links, resources, articles and books in our shownotes, as well as the articles and topics we didn't discuss on our special show planning Google Doc. Follow @edtechSR on Twitter for updates, and tune in next week for our first "regular" show of 2018. Merry Christmas, Happy Festivus, and Happy New Year to everyone!
Welcome to episode 47 of the EdTech Situation Room from April 12, 2017, where technology news meets educational analysis.
