The possibilities are endless in education as technology offers new opportunities every year. But are we using that technology to support teachers, who can then support their students? This week on the podcast, I'm talking with Jennie Magiera, global head of Education Impact at Google. She's also a bestselling author and former teacher and school administrator. She found her way to education after a transformative school year as a young girl and that's helped her throughout her career as she tries to create that same experience for other students. Jennie and I talk about her vision for facilitating teacher support. She talks about the need to reimagine professional learning experiences, allowing teachers to start with their hopes in training sessions. And she shares about the recently published Future of Education report, which studied the future of education across 24 countries. In her analysis of these reports, she provides a glimpse into the changing landscape of education. She emphasizes the ongoing need to understand and respect future users of educational technology and elaborates on how these changes affect students, schools, and the broader education system. If you're looking for a sign that education CAN change, from the inside out, then this is the episode to listen to. With leaders like Jennie at the helm, anything is possible. About Jennie Magiera: Jennie Magiera is the Global Head of Education Impact at Google, the Corwin bestselling author of Courageous Edventures and the founder and president of the non-profit organization, Our Voice Alliance, whose mission is to elevate marginalized voices and perspectives to improve equity & empathy in education. Previously, she was the Chief Program Officer at EdTechTeam, the Chief Innovation Officer for the Des Plaines Public School District 62, the Digital Learning Coordinator for the Academy for Urban School Leadership, and a Chicago Public Schools teacher. Jennie uses her classroom experiences to inform her work supporting educators to create new and better opportunities for their students. She believes that despite the many challenges facing schools today, every classroom can be a place for “edventures”: student-centered, passion-based experiential learning. Her work centers around acknowledging problems and finding innovative ways to navigate them so as to allow teachers and students to dive into these classroom “edventures”. Jennie is also passionate about reimagining professional learning to facilitate more relevant teacher support. She has served on the Technical Working Group for the US Department of Education's National Educational Technology Plan, helped develop the Dynamic Learning Project, and co-founded various conference concepts such as PLAYDATE and Teachers for Tomorrow. She has been recognized for her work as an Obama White House Champion for Change, Chicago Public Schools Innovator of the Year, TEDx Speaker, Golden Apple Teacher of Distinction, Apple Distinguished Educator, Google for Education Certified Innovator, and featured on various programs such as NBC's Education Nation, C-SPAN's Reimagining Education and NPR. Jennie shares her experiences taking risks in the classroom and helping others to feel comfortable doing the same in her book, Courageous Edventures.

A former high school English teacher, Ari holds a Master’s degree in Education Technology and is a Google Certified Trainer and Innovator.

Follow Ari online here: TW: https://twitter.com/EdTechAri IG: https://www.instagram.com/edtechari/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/EdTechAri/ Blog: https://www.edtechari.net/ In our conversation, Ari describes the time in her career when she found herself in a work environment that was "less than collaborative." It was during this time that she really started to build her professional learning network on Twitter and elsewhere, using these platforms to reconnect with former colleagues and building relationships with new ones. To educators looking to integrate more technology in their classrooms, Ari offers this sage word of caution: always consider context and content. How does this piece of technology help move my students toward the learning objective? Ari also shares her professional goal for this year, explains what ignites her passion about education today, lets us in on some of her passions outside of education, and offers some great picks on Twitter, YouTube, and more.

To avoid having my younger students type out their very long email addresses each time to log into Google Classroom on the STEAM Lab computers, I have assigned each student to a computer. My problem is that Google only saves 10 email addresses for quick login. Is there an extension, hack, or work around to allow us to save all 18 addresses for quick login?

At least once a week I find a post in my social that focusses on tracking future jobs. Often it is couched in a convo about our students aiming for a job force that has not even been dreamed of yet. And that future is seeded by helping students embrace the Edtech tools that accelerate their learning and activate their 'moonshot' thinking. I think Emily Fitzgerald has one of those future jobs.

This week is our back to school special. Our guest is Colette Mondor, an educator in Canada. We talk using devices, app stores and security with students. Further discussion includes the importance of teaching empathy, and the value of ensuring that your children know how to find trustworthy information online. Get Montreal Sauce: The Wearable! For the next week we have a t-shit for sale. Get it now, it will no longer be available after the week. Recently, on our Twitter account we asked what fans would like to be called. Welcome Sausages! Colette recently presented at the GAFE Summit in Calgary. G.A.F.E. stands for Google Apps for Education. Colette owns a brand new Chromebook with an Intel Core i3 chip. Gamification is a big movement in education to get students more engaged. Therefore, the EdTech Team chose to gamify the summit. Read & Write for Google helps students who have a difficulty reading. Colette suggests using this extension for math story problems for those students. Colette believes one of the things that often gets missed when teaching with technology is digital citizenship. Of course, we all agree that many adults could use that same lesson. Many schools are going one to one with devices, assigning students iPads or tablets from kindergarten on. Using tablets and iPads as shared devices, with multiple classes/students, is difficult because they are meant for individuals. Schools can secure Google tablets & with Google Apps Device Policy but added security becomes troublesome with younger students. Android tablets do have multiple users but backing up user apps & data is difficult and doesn’t work well at all. Chris talks about volunteering in the classroom, and Colette corrects him by inventing a great new word. Chris is voluntold to go to school and help. Chris and guest Colette slip into their old podcast, The Sexy Back Tour while discussing this summer’s travels. Chris went to many weddings this summer including one featured on national news because it was on ice. The hockey wedding (more pics if you are one of those wedding lovers) took place in Michigan, not Canada. WAIT. WHAT? During the road trip to multiple weddings Chris went to the ER. He was the lucky winner of Bell’s palsy. Also, Chris wants a summer home in Nelson, B.C. Paul shares theories on digital identities from Jeff Jarvis who can be found on This Week in Google podcast. Chris adds that he recently finished a book by Howard Rheingold called Net Smart: How to Thrive Online. We learned why “zee” replaced “zed” in America English thanks to masteraramil in the chatroom. We get into the metric system vs. the Imperial units. Fahrenheit vs. Celsius vs. Kelvin. Don’t forget about the Montreal Sauce tee available for a limited time!
