Should social media content creation be part of K-12 education? Yes, but the answer is more complex than that…    In this episode of the Fueling Creativity in Education podcast, Dr. Cyndi Burnett and Dr. Matthew Worwood speak with Carrington Faulk, a high school marketing teacher, Google for Education Certified Trainer, and Founder of ‘skilltivity.', an online education platform that seeks to advance your creative thinking skills. Carrington enjoys educating learners of all ages on how to master subjects in the realm of creativity, technology, leadership, marketing, and innovation.   Tune in to learn why video is such a popular medium for creative expression and how YouTube and TikTok play a powerful role in educating students and connecting them with the world. You'll also learn the benefits and concerns of integrating video production and social media content creation in the classroom.   “I've never seen this many students want to be YouTubers in my life than they do right now. But the big thing that I try to tell them is it's not what the popular platform [is] now, I tell them to think about what's going to be popular later and what's up and coming.” – Carrington Faulk   Carrington shares the tech tools and activities he uses to spark creativity in the classroom along with the real-life opportunities (and dangers) of encouraging kids to use social media to express their creativity. He also sheds light on the importance of teaching students about modern marketing, future trends, the metaverse, and creative leadership.    Plus… Carrington breaks down his strategy for facilitating the “question-asking” and critical thinking/reflection parts of the creative process, as well as how his personal creativity in music inspires his students' creativity in the classroom.   “If we aren't being creative leaders in the classroom, then  we will get left behind as educators.” – Carrington Faulk   Carrington's Tips for Teachers and Parents: Everyone needs to ask more questions.  We are in the 4th Industrial Revolution, a workforce where AI and automation is changing the landscape of work every single day. So, students need to understand that the jobs and opportunities they see today may not be the ones they see in the future. Each district should have a Chief Creative Officer.   Resources Mentioned: Subscribe to the skilltivity.

Tell us a bit about yourself, who you are, what you do. I have a podcast called ACEd Tech. I recently graduated from the Google Innovator Academy #VIA20 I’m just generally passionate about EdTech (If you want to change any of these questions, go ahead. Please add any questions you would like us to ask.) Example: Ask me about …..my garden….. Question: How are you doing? What would you like to chat about today? There are ways to create a choose-your-own-adventure games using Google Slides or Google Forms You created choose your own adventure with google forms tell us about that. At first, breakout edu was popular. Then, digital breakouts were created. On Google Forms, a breakout which may include a “password” may not work because it can be easily hacked. Instead, a choose-your-own-adventure would make it better. What prompted you to create this? Based on my Google Innovator project, I tried to create a game on Google Forms. How does it work? In Google Forms… In Google Slides ... How can others get involved in this? Here’s a link to one I made using forms: https://forms.gle/Q4kJLHLQR1iGWPcKA With Google Slides and Google Forms it will take practice and patience.

After going through the ISTE certification process with my team (the Instructional Technology and Digital Learning Department in the Worcester Public Schools in Massachusetts), we quickly realized what an amazing framework the ISTE Standards would be for powerful teaching and learning. One way we started to use them to support students and teachers was by creating a crosswalk document between our state DLCS standards and the ISTE student standards. This has been huge in terms of helping our teachers see the bigger goal of creating "Empowered Learners" which we all agreed is the overarching goal and the standard that all of the other lead toward. Now, when planning PD for teachers, we use the ISTE Educator Standards to guide us and have started to educate our principals in them so they know what to look for in classrooms. I may be overly-enthusiastic about this but I wanted you to know that I really appreciate you bringing them to the masses! (and, I highly recommend the ISTE certification if you can ever find the time!... I am not compensated in any way to say that!)

I've tried a Google Classroom, newsletters (Adobe Spark, Google newsletter templates), emails, etc. Would love to hear some new ideas! audience submitted question, Cathy Zandecki Part of the issue is communicating with people who are uncomfortable with tech through technology. Communicate via paper-based Potty PD, Copier PD Use multiple different communication techniques: email, Google Classroom, newsletter, paper flyers, mention at meetings Make sure you’re consistently bringing value in order to keep your “audience” listening Use visual design, possibly color-coding How to decide when to give up on a strategy? Concrete observations Watch what happens if you do take it away Sethi: “It’s not about you.  It’s the same as with your students: if they’re starting to use a technique or something that you’ve taught them, you’re not there for the credit.  You’re not doing that so that they’ll say ‘So-and-so taught me this.’ No, no no, they’ve got this now!  That is the reward!” Question #2: How can we leverage the power of video to impact student learning? EdPuzzle An expanded version of Jakes’ “beard & glasses” story - Episode 11 Don’t over-use video Sethi: All teachers and students should create video! Screencasting Flipgrid Sethi’s recommendation: keep videos used in the classroom short;  2 minutes Interaction built into video can be helpful Be present and available for students when they’re viewing the video Break up a video on Google Slides to make it smaller chunks Put video onto Google Sites and use Insert Learning to embed questions Use a backchannel chat tool BackChannelChat.com - BackChannelChat.com Yo Teach - YoTeachApp.com Students creating video iPad screen recorders Explain Everything - ExplainEverything.com Built-in iOS screen recorder Chromebook screencasting Nimbus screen recorder does screenshots and video, no limited amount of time & no watermark, premium allows HD, limited editing options - nimbusweb.me/screenshot.php Loom extension, limited editing options Screencastify & Screencast-o-matic have time limits Limitations are editing Quicktime on Mac Game Recording on PC  Camtasia on Mac or PC Sethi on choosing which tool to have students use: “It is whatever works for you, because I’m not there to see how you’re using a tool or how you’re using the tech.  I want to see did you actually understand what we talked about? Did you get the content rather than the tool.” Content from the Duct Taper Community This Episode’s Apple Podcast Reviews:  Kimberly Wren Favorite #EduDuctTape Tweets: (each handle is linked to the mentioned tweet) @MannyDiscoTech @MrsJHartman @MrsPaden1st @54Mr_Meyer @kiefersj @mathwitz New #EduDuctTape Tweeps: @AndeleeEspinosa, @annkozma723, @DayCatherineM, @EdTechIbby, @gippytweets, @IleneWinokur, @jeffgargas, @jmillersclass, @JoeTerbrack, @joliboucher, @jsnhubbard, @maramalafronte, @MathDenisNJ, @MrCoachK15, @MrMichaelEtter, @MrsBremTweets, @MrsJHartman, @mshongELA, @peterghorner, @SarahEWalker2, @Savvy_Educator, @TeachParentEat, @tntedtech #EduDuctTape FlipGrid Responses: Michael Brilla Linda Hummer

Pam Shoemaker is getting ready to retire from teaching. As she and her husband were returning home from looking for places to retire, a storm arose. While location services can be used to perhaps compromise our privacy, in this case, it may have saved Pam's life. Hear her story and learn how to examine your own location settings for safety. www.coolcatteacher.com/e542 Podcast PD Challenge Your challenge today is a safety challenge for you – and one other person of your choosing. Pick a weather app. Go into settings and educate yourself on how to turn it on for “always allow” if that is your choice. Understand that location-based services can be used to track where you are, so if you choose not to allow any location-based services, then, make sure you know how to turn it on while traveling or when weather is bad. As always, consult with your wireless carrier about your data plan and educate yourself on the apps you use. Set your privacy settings with intentionality and be safe!

Mandy Froehlich is the Director of Innovation and Technology in the Ripon Area School District in Wisconsin and author of The Fire Within: Lessons from Defeat That Have Ignited a Passion for Learning. This collection of stories from educators describes how adversity is met with strength and everyone grows as a result. Furthermore, Mandy is a Google for Education Certified Trainer, ambassador for Canvas LMS, a keynote speaker, presenter, and PD lead.In our discussion, Mandy and I (Chris) spoke about the dangers of the stigma surrounding mental health and its specific detriment to teachers and students. Often, teachers are put on a pedestal - being seen as heroic (or for some, godlike) - and facing trauma is both unrealistic to account for, as well as dangerous to the psyche of "teacherhood."Furthermore, we talk about the steps teachers can take to ensure they are well equipped to deal with trauma in the classroom, as well as simple actions that can have drastic impact on students' lives.

Classroom 2.0 LIVE webinar "Building Efficiency with Google Forms" with special guest presenter, Jenn Judkins, August 19, 2017. There are so many awesome things we can do with Google Forms in our classrooms, and we are really excited to have Jennifer Judkins, a Google guru, joining us as our special guest presenter for this webinar to share some possibilities you may not have realized. Webinar description: Learn how to reduce inefficient, paper-based workflows using Google Forms and Add-Ons so more time can be spent doing value-added work with kids. In this session, we will highlight the use of the formMule and formRanger Add-Ons by creating a basic discipline referral system. In the example workflow we will demonstrate how teachers can use Google Forms to report student behavior issues, which will then trigger automatic email notification to school administrators. After the administrators follow up on the reported incident, Google Forms can ensure teachers are kept in the loop about any consequences through by automatic email update sent to the referring staff member. Jennifer Judkins is the Director of Educational Technology for Lexington Public Schools in Massachusetts. She is an experienced middle and high school science teacher, and former life science researcher, who knows first-hand how technology can extend learning and engage students in ways that challenge them to higher levels of thinking.

Life would be easy if we could just drop off a piece of technology hardware into a classroom and watch the magic happen as teachers simply knew exactly how to use the devices to support their curriculum.  While there are a ton of talented teachers out there, most of us normal people need additional support and training when something new is introduced into our teaching world.Dave Neudorf and the team at International School Kuala Lumpur understand that professional learning is an important aspect for any new device or method.  While most schools might simply send off their teachers to a workshop somewhere or bring in a consultant, ISKL decided to host an iPad conference just for elementary school educators. While Dave called this move “selfish” as it is a true benefit to his school's learning culture, it really is a gift to others in the region looking for a conference aimed at a very specific, neglected tribe of teacher: Elementary educators.Find conference information and the chance to register at this location.BioDave is currently the Director of Technology at the International School of Kuala Lumpur.
