In this episode of House of #EdTech, host Chris Nesi discusses the importance of critically evaluating educational technology in classrooms.

The episode features the announcement of MagicSchool.ai as the 2024 HOET Final Four Winner and an EdTech recommendation for Vocabulary Quest, a gamified vocabulary learning platform. Additionally, Chris bids farewell to SatChat, reflecting on its impact on the education community. Resources Mentioned: MagicSchool.ai - 2024 HOET Final Four Winner Vocabulary Quest - EdTech Recommendation Every Tech Tool in the Classroom Should Be Ruthlessly Evaluated - Article by Jessica Grose SatChat - Discussion on SatChat ending 2024 HOET Final Four Winner: MagicSchool.ai We're excited to announce MagicSchool.ai as the 2024 HOET Final Four Winner! MagicSchool.ai stands out for its innovative approach to personalized learning and real-time performance assessment. This AI-based tool is transforming how students engage with educational content, making learning more interactive and effective. Congratulations to MagicSchool.ai for this well-deserved recognition. EdTech Thought: The End of an Era? Goodbye SatChat We begin with a reflective EdTech Thought segment, marking the end of an era with the conclusion of SatChat. For years, SatChat has been a cornerstone of the education community, providing a platform for educators to connect, share insights, and grow together. Hosts Billy Krakower, Scott Rocco, and Brad Currie have created a lasting legacy, and we take a moment to honor their contributions and discuss the future of such initiatives in the education space. EdTech Recommendation: Vocabulary Quest Our EdTech Recommendation for this episode is Vocabulary Quest, an innovative platform that gamifies vocabulary learning. Whether you're a student, professional, or language enthusiast, Vocabulary Quest transforms the often tedious task of memorizing new words into an engaging adventure. With gamified levels, interactive stories, puzzles, and personalized learning paths, this tool not only makes learning fun but also significantly boosts retention rates. Here's why Vocabulary Quest stands out: Gamified Learning: Turn vocabulary acquisition into an exciting game with progressive challenges. Personalized Stories and Puzzles: Engage with content tailored to your interests, enhancing learning efficiency. Advanced AI Memory Aids: Benefit from mnemonic devices, imagery, and associations designed to make words stick. Comprehensive Exam Preparation: Ideal for students preparing for exams like the SAT, ACT, or SSAT. Professional Communication: Elevate your career by mastering the right words for effective communication. Featured Content: Ruthlessly Evaluating EdTech Tools In our featured content, we dive into Jessica Grose's compelling article, "Every Tech Tool in the Classroom Should Be Ruthlessly Evaluated," published in The New York Times on April 24, 2024. Grose highlights the complex and often problematic landscape of educational technology, urging educators to take control of tech integration in their classrooms. Key takeaways from the article include: Educator-Driven Tech Use: Technology should be selected based on data and teacher experience, not dictated by tech companies. Commercial Origins of EdTech: Many tools were initially created for commercial purposes, which may not align with educational outcomes. Necessity and Good Standard: Schools should assess whether a tech tool is essential and beneficial from ethical and pedagogical perspectives. Privacy Concerns: Protecting student data is paramount. Solutions include destroying data after use and establishing an independent body to oversee digital product quality. Centralized Tech-Vetting: Post-pandemic, there is a need for standardized evaluation of tech tools at the district level. Classroom-Level Audits: Regularly audit tech tools to ensure they serve their intended purpose without creating additional problems. Authentic Connections: Beyond academics, technology should foster human relationships and community building in schools.

InfoComm 2023 is one of the biggest trade shows for the AV industry, showcasing not only a vast amount of innovative solutions across different verticals but education and training for those in AV. It is such a big show that we couldn't possibly contain our conversations to just one episode! We continue to engage with attendees and discuss the different experiences of the show with experts in the industry.We start off by talking to IT Manager of Classroom Technology for Johns Hopkins University (as well as host of our very own EDTech) Erin Maher-Moran, and AV Experience Manager for Iowa State University Mike Pedersen about their time at the show. Since both are affiliated with the higher education space and HETMA, the Higher Education Technology Managers Association, we discuss the presence of solutions built for the classroom at the show. We also talk about HETMA's plans in reaching those technology managers in places like InfoComm and more.Our second and final segment of the show has us joined by Director of Product Marketing & Training for Mersive Erica Carroll, Sales Manager for RTSales Jennifer Goodyer and Client Success Manager for Control Concepts Brittany DiCesare. Erica and Jennifer are also our hosts for The Women in AV Podcast, so it's only right that while we also discuss their experience at the show, we talk about groups like AVIXA's Womens Council and their annual breakfast and more.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Feedback & Shout Outs (1:34) I am thrilled to welcome Tech Tools for Teachers and Speaking with Students to the Education Podcast Network! These two new shows bring valuable perspectives and insights to the education community. Tech Tools for Teachers, hosted by Shanna Martin, offers practical advice and recommendations for integrating technology into the classroom. Meanwhile, Speaking with Students, hosted by Will Andresen, provides a platform for students to share their experiences and perspectives on education. Congratulations to Mike Dodge, Sam Fecich, Chris Stuchko, Dan Gallagher, and Steve Chisnell for winning a t-shirt! I hope they enjoy wearing their shirts and spreading the word about the House of #EdTech. Thank you for your support and for being part of this community. EdTech Thought (6:00) My thought is a satirical critique of replacing human teachers with ChatGPT. I point out the absurdity of relying on a cold algorithm that spits out answers like a vending machine and can make witty jokes and puns. I used quotes from supposedly satisfied users of ChatGPT to highlight the negative consequences of using such a program, such as the lack of original thought and critical thinking. I end by mocking the idea of upgrading the personality of ChatGPT, implying that it is ridiculous to think that a machine can replace human teachers who can provide a personal connection and expertise. Featured Content (8:32) Mobile devices have become increasingly popular in education due to their ability to provide students with access to educational resources and tools anytime and anywhere. With the rise of mobile technology, students can now use their smartphones and tablets to access educational apps, e-books, online courses, and educational videos, among other resources. Mobile devices also offer teachers and professors the opportunity to provide personalized learning experiences and interactive activities that enhance student engagement. One of the biggest advantages of mobile devices in education is their ability to promote digital literacy and 21st-century skills. Through the use of mobile technology, students can develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills, which are essential for success in today's workforce. Additionally, mobile devices can help bridge the digital divide by providing equal access to educational resources for students in remote or underprivileged areas. However, it is important to note that the integration of mobile devices in education should be done strategically and with proper planning to ensure that it aligns with the learning objectives and goals of the curriculum.

In this episode of the Rural Voice, the cohosts interview Eric Sheninger, Author, thought leader, and educator, regarding technological innovation in pedagogy and the classroom. Mr. Sheninger is one of our keynote addresses at the upcoming NREA conference. Mr. Sheninger discusses the importance of capitalizing on technology through the framework of meeting kids where they are. For example, he discusses how virtual learning may work best for some children while face-to-face classroom education may be better for others. While many kids are technology savvy, others may struggle to acclimate to new technologies without the appropriate direction. The discussion further discusses social media's role in informing, educating, and sharing information. They discuss how school administrators might use such approaches to share information while being mindful of public opinion. As Eric shares, use common sense and only share what would be appropriate for your grandmother. Avoid political topics and socially sensitive issues. However, capitalizing on social media can provide a medium to share various methods of learning and teaching to help others. Therefore, using social media is important in sharing one's story. Further, they discuss the appropriateness of branding and the method for building relationships while keeping the message consistent. Sharing successes is so important, and it helps facilitate important conversations. https://ericsheninger.com/ This episode is sponsored by WinLearning.

WE OFTEN THINK THAT ALL TECH IS CREATED EQUAL…It's not.   I love using tech in the classroom as a way to engage and motivate student learning.  Tech provides opportunities to support our students in ways that other learning methods can not.  These opportunities include things like adding audio support to read text to our students, or allowing students to record their responses rather than writing something.  Technology often helps us to eliminate barriers to learning success.But - just using classroom technology for the sake of using classroom technology is not an effective model for making decisions around technology with your students.I think learning with multimedia and technology is an essential component of a 21st century classroom, but technology comes in all shapes and sizes, and in this episode, I want to introduce a simple model that we can follow when making decisions about technology in our classroom so that we can use it in the most effective way!LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODEEPISODE 95: What is a 21st Century Classroom??EPISODE 97: Creating a Multimedia Classroom (Part 1: What the Research Says)EPISODE 98: Creating a Multimedia Classroom (Part 2: Applications for the Classroom)SAMR ModelJoin the LINKtivity Learning Membership and get access to my entire vault of LINKtivity Interactive Learning Guides - CLICK HERE to join.
