Starting with this episode we begin a new series.  How closely do our lives mirror the life of Christ? Are we true Christians, or are our lives pale, hypocritical imitations of Christ Jesus, so that we are Christians in name only? William Shewen (1631?-1695), a first generation Friend, in his 1675 work, The True Christian's Faith and Experience called out and challenged all who called themselves “Christian” to examine their lives to discover whether they (we) are truly living and acting in the light of Christ Jesus. If we find ourselves lacking here and are Christians in name only, we must abandon this hypocrisy which so subtly clouds our lives. This work was written during a time when most if not all Quakers experienced severe persecution at the hands of people who called themselves “Christian”.In his first preface, Shewen mentions some of his spiritual journey as a former “Christian” in name only who did and said all the “right” things as expected of him. His heart, spirit, and life were not that of a true Christian. Shewen encourages all to abandon the deception where light is called darkness and darkness is called light, and to instead seek and follow the genuine light of Christ to become true Christians.Shewen's book and other works are available in Educational Media library of  Ohio Yearly Meeting's website.    The Quote in our introduction can be found on page 77 of the version published there.Visit us on our website at ohioyearlymeeting.org.

Elon Musk droht seinen Mitarbeitenden mit der Kündigung, sollten sie nicht ins Büro zurückkommen. Microsoft setzt auf den Wohlfühlfaktor: Mitarbeitende können arbeiten, wann und wie es für sie am besten ist. Aber welcher Weg ist denn nun richtig? Viele Unternehmen stehen derzeit vor der Frage, ob ihre Arbeitnehmenden weiterhin regelmässig aus dem Homeoffice oder von anderen externen Arbeitsplätzen als dem Büro arbeiten sollen, können, dürfen. Die Meinungen gehen stark auseinander. Deshalb widmen sich Khalil und sein Gast Hartmuth «Hardy» Gieldanowski in der heutigen Folge des InnoPodcast dem hybriden Arbeiten. Hardy ist Lead Innovation & Customer Experience Coach bei der Schweizerischen Post. Aufmerksame Hörerinnen und Hörer erinnern sich vielleicht noch aus Folge 8 des InnoPodcasts, «Agilität einfach erklärt», an ihn. Unter hybridem Arbeiten wird allgemein der Mix aus der Arbeit vor Ort im Büro und der Arbeit am Computer von einem durch die Mitarbeitenden selbst gewählten Ort verstanden. Es geht also darum, wer wann von wo aus seiner Arbeit nachgeht. Klar ist, dass in den letzten Jahren ein Wechsel stattgefunden hat: weg vom starren Büroalltag hin zu mehr Flexibilität. Daran wird sich gemäss Studien und dem Anspruchsdenken gerade jüngerer Arbeitnehmer*innen auch nichts mehr ändern. Aber wann ist es denn tatsächlich sinnvoll, digital miteinander zu arbeiten und wann sollten Meetings unbedingt physisch stattfinden? Muss ein Workshop am Flipchart durchgeführt werden? Gehören Mitarbeitenden-Gespräche in das nächstgelegene Sitzungszimmer? Und wie können auch Mitarbeitende ohne Bürojob hybrid arbeiten? All diesen und noch mehr Fragen gehen Khalil und Hardy in dieser Folge nach. Eines sei vorweggenommen: schwarz-weiss-Denken ist heute nicht mehr angebracht. Hartmuth Gieldanowski hat einen Masterabschluss von der Fachhochschule Solothurn-Nordwestschweiz in Business Information Systems und einen von der Universität Duisburg-Essen in Educational Media. Nachdem er drei Jahre in StartUp für Hosting und Webdesign geleitet hat, war er mehrere Jahre in verschiedenen Unternehmen im Bereich der IT tätig. 2010 hat er dann seine IT-Kenntnisse mit seinem jetzigen Arbeitsbereich verbunden und bei der PostFinance als BA/Agile Coach angefangen. Nach einem Abstecher zur Swisscom und dem Swiss Federal Office for Information Technology, Systems and Telecommunication ist er seit 2017 wieder bei der Post und ist seit Januar 2021 Lead Innovation & Customer Experience Coach. Für die Hörerinnen und Hörer, die die bei der Post beschäftigt sind, hier noch der versprochene Link auf die Test-Card des EspaceLab: https://espacelab.co/39LdNZb Der InnoPodcast geht in die Sommerpause. Wir hören uns im September wieder

Simone Lattes"Premio Belma"https://www.latteseditori.it/A Lattes Editori il Premio BELMA 2021, tra Dante e l'educazione civicaAssegnato questo pomeriggio in collaborazione con la Fiera del Libro di Francoforte Anche i libri di testo scolastici hanno il loro premio internazionale. Si chiama BELMA (Best European Learning Materials Awards) e celebra ogni anno i migliori materiali educativi d'Europa. Quest'anno tra i premiati c'è anche l'Italia, con il Premio Speciale della Giuria assegnato alla Casa Editrice Lattes per il suo Cittadini con Dante, un testo per la scuola media scritto dalle professoresse Enrica Lavazza, Maria Acanfora, Silvia Fraboni e Anna Jacod.Questo premio arriva durante la Settimana della Lingua Italiana nel Mondo, l'iniziativa nata nel 2001 e giunta quest'anno alla XXI edizione, in programma dal 18 al 24 ottobre, che quest'anno ha come tema “Dante, l'italiano”.L'idea alla base di Cittadini con Dante è quella di svolgere con la classe dei percorsi interdisciplinari di educazione civica tra letteratura, storia e arte, a partire dalla vita e dalle opere di Dante Alighieri, di cui quest'anno ricorre il 700° anniversario della morte. Così, ad esempio, l'esilio del Poeta da Firenze apre un percorso che conduce fino al confino fascista e alla vicenda di Altiero Spinelli a Ventotene, dove prese forma l'idea dell'Europa unita. La figura di Francesca da Rimini, che compare nel Canto V dell'Inferno, permette di affrontare il delicato tema del femminicidio.Partendo poi da Costanza d'Altavilla, regina di Sicilia, che troviamo nel Canto III del Paradiso, si sviluppa il tema delle donne in politica, arrivando alle suffragette e alle Madri della Costituzione italiana.La pubblicazione del libro era stata accompagnata in primavera da una serie di webinar su questi temi, tenuti dalle autrici del testo e seguiti da migliaia di insegnanti. L'entusiasmo mostrato in quell'occasione dai docenti ha suggerito a Lattes l'idea di candidare il libro di testo ai BELMA. Oggi, la vittoria.“Può sembrare sorprendente che a ottenere questo riconoscimento sia un libro di testo tutto sommato tradizionale nella forma” racconta Simone Lattes, amministratore delegato della Casa editrice. “Cittadini con Dante non ha effetti speciali; niente percorsi multimediali, esercizi interattivi o tecnologie d'avanguardia. Ci sono solo l'originalità della proposta e la chiarezza espositiva. Un lavoro congiunto tra le nostre ottime autrici e la nostra redazione. A dimostrazione del fatto che, anche nell'età del digitale, la qualità dei materiali didattici è data prima di tutto dal contenuto.”I BELMA Awards sono assegnati in collaborazione con la Fiera del Libro di Francoforte, IARTEM (International Association for Research on Textbooks and Educational Media) e European Educational Publishers Group.La Casa Editrice Lattes è stata fondata a Torino nel 1893, quando Simone, allora impiegato dell'odierna Libreria Luxemburg, aprì la Libreria Lattes di via Garibaldi 3. Nella seconda metà del Novecento si è progressivamente concentrata sulla scuola secondaria di primo e secondo grado pubblicando libri di testo che hanno accompagnato milioni di studenti. Oggi la Casa Editrice è guidata dalla quinta generazione della famiglia.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

More kids are using technology to learn, but is it expanding the gap between the haves and the have nots?

We have the great honor of speaking to an icon in our industry today! Corbin Ball, aka Mr. Technology, is an influential leader who has been sharing his knowledge, insights, and technological discoveries for many years! He was inducted into the Events Industry Council's Hall of Leaders in 2018 and was named the most influential person in the Top 25, five times! In this episode, Corbin talks to us about AI (Artificial Intelligence), AR (Augmented Reality), VR (Virtual Reality), and data insights and analytics. We hope you will enjoy listening to our conversation! Corbin Ball's bio: Corbin Ball, CSP, CMP, DES, MS is an international speaker, consultant, and writer helping clients worldwide use technology to save time and improve productivity. After more than a decade running international citywide technology meetings, Corbin transitioned in 1997 to become a highly acclaimed speaker with the ability to make complex subjects understandable and fun. Corbin is a 2018 inductee into the Events Industry Council's Hall of Leaders, the most prestigious honor in the meetings, conventions, and exhibitions industry. He is the only person to have received both the MPI International Supplier of the Year and the MPI International Chapter Leader of the Year awards. Corbin has been named as one of "The 25 Most Influential People in the Meetings Industry" five times by Successful Meetings/Meeting News magazines. Corbin was named last month by Cvent as one of “20 Event Professionals You Should Be Following.” Corbin Ball's journey When he left college, Corbin became the Director of Educational Media for Western Washington University. That was where his immersion in technology began. Several years later, he was asked to help a small engineering association with the technological side of their events. He continued working for that association for about 15 years, during which time they grew to run the largest meetings in the world in the area of optics.  Technology was going to change everything In 1997, Corbin saw that technology was going to change everything. It became apparent that technology would change the world of events profoundly. So, he decided to travel more and form his own business as a speaker, consultant, and writer, focusing specifically on event technology. He was the first person to do that, and it has been a fun ride for him ever since then! Corbin Ball can lay claim to the longest-running website Corbin has the longest-running event technology website (www.corbinball.com). He started it shortly after forming his business, Corbin Ball and Company. He has loved helping event professionals understand technology so that they can improve their business processes. The silver lining The pandemic taught Corbin to slow down, smell the roses, and enjoy life wherever he is. Technological changes During the last 14 months, there has been an explosion of innovation, particularly in virtual meetings. Virtual meetings have changed more during this time than they have in the past decade.  The year of hybrid event technology and innovation All the best practices that we have learned from virtual meetings will forever change the face of in-person events. Corbin thinks that 2021 will be the year of hybrid event technology and innovation. Profound changes in society The best practices that we learned and the forced increased digitization of how we do business have created profound changes in our society.  Corbin Ball's thoughts on the future marketing of events  The way that events get marketed will be different in the future. As Corbin explains, there has been a lot of talk about establishing a year-round community and creating marketing campaigns to market events to that community. That community will use AI and do things differently and more efficiently.  Face-to-face  There is nothing that can replace face-to-face communication, interaction, and relationship-building, which are all key parts of the sales process. Exhibitors at exhibitions have complained of having low net promoter scores because they were unable to make the same connections as they do at face-to-face events. Yet, Corbin still feels that the virtual meetings piece will be substantially larger than it was in the past. The impact AI will have on meetings and events Corbin feels that AI will become one of the biggest and most profound trends of this decade. It will change everything. AI has many applications for events. In 2019, Wordly.ai created a technology for events that accurately translates voice into audio and text in 16 different languages. That technology can be used for virtual events to open the translations up to a much broader audience. Chatbots will also be helpful for events, as will AI technologies designed for biometrics. Zenus.ai does facial recognition for meeting registration and access control accurately, quickly, and securely. Anonymous facial analytics In the area of anonymous facial analytics, gender, estimated age, levels of interest, and emotions can all be measured. Facial analytics applications can also count the number of people in large groups, measure their age and gender, and even measure whether or not they are paying attention during an event. We will see facial recognition technology used more frequently for travel and hotel check-ins. Non-contact palm scans Non-contact palm scans can automatically scan the contents of a grocery basket instantly.  AI customization for events Some companies have been using the data points from people's event registrations to create algorithms to help them find matches for their interests with the exhibitors they should see or the sessions they should attend. There is a lot of growth potential in that area. Video recap  Another company has designed video recap software specifically for events. It creates searchable transcripts that highlight the key points throughout the presentations.  Vertical markets Every vertical market, from farming to pharmacology, will also be affected by artificial intelligence. Virtual Reality  For a virtual reality experience, you put on goggles and get taken to another place. Although that is not ideal for events, it can be helpful for hotel sales, site inspections, or elaborate equipment demos. Augmented and Mixed Reality Mixed reality is similar to augmented reality. It involves layering additional objects, information, or a character within the view that you are seeing. It can provide an effective display, but the headsets are, unfortunately, quite expensive. AI on a phone or tablet The technology for using AI on a phone or a tablet is well-established. It has been around for more than a decade. Recent upgrades to android devices and iPhones have improved the technology and made it much easier to use.  Augmented reality glasses In the future, we will be using normal-looking glasses that have augmented reality components for many different applications. Projection mapping With projection mapping, you can layer a digital experience on top of something concrete. You can convert the side of a building to be animated or create a stage set where people can interact with things that are not there. The technology for projection mapping has improved recently, making it easier to use and less expensive. Data integration and analytics One of the benefits of virtual meetings is that every click is trackable, and you can get rich data from every attendee. The same thing can apply to face-to-face events, although that is a little more difficult. Many systems will automatically give you data and analytics. Data analytics typically requires three things: You have to integrate all your different data sources with the analytics technology. You need to use artificial intelligence to analyze the data and see the insights. You need to make the data accessible to humans. (For example, by making a graph or a chart.) Once all the data has been brought together, you can use it to better serve your customers by providing them with what they are interested in and what they want.

Today, Maria talks with Sonia Tiwari, a learning scientist and PhD candidate in Learning, Design, and Technology at Penn State University. Through her research, Sonia explores how children learn in informal environments using educational media and maker activities. She uses these insights to inform the design of creative learning environments, be it a classroom, a summer camp or a maker workshop.Trained in electronic media, design and animation, she worked as a visual, game & user experience designer in the San Francisco Bay Area. Through her experience in educational games, she discovered the beauty of learning science and found her calling in early childhood education research. If you are a parent, you will learn a plethora of educational media resources to help you design the best learning activities for your children at home. If you are an industry designer, you will be inspired by Sonia’s journey that will offer you insights on how to explore and design a career path in game-based learning both in formal and informal environments. And if you are a professor in higher education, Sonia has a request and a call-to-action for you: when you are looking for a grad student, please be open-minded and welcome people with different backgrounds. This is a wonderful conversation with a visual designer and learning scientist who wants to put a smile on the face of learners by designing resources that are useful, beautiful, playful and funny!  Where to find more about Sonia Tiwari:LinkedInTwitterVisual Design Portfolio Mentioned in this episode:PBS KIDSCurious George on PBS KIDSPeg + Cat on PBS KIDSResources for Parents on PBS KIDSiNaturalist by National GeographicWhy Game Designers & Game Researchers Should Meet More OftenCan Color Influence Learning?Yasmin Kafai  Listen to this episode and explore:How Sonia embraced her curiosity and creativity in high school (4:10)Studying electronic media in India and character animation at the Academy of Art in San Francisco (6:32)Being supported by her family to pursue her creative endeavors to (8:07)Coming to the US to specialize in animation before working in the game industry (9:26)Reflecting on the skills, Sonia developed as a visual and game designer (11:45)How Sonia describes herself in one word (14:00)Her decision to pursue her PhD in Learning, Design and Technology at Penn State University (14:42)Sonia’s research in exploring children’s learning experiences using educational media (16:06)How to assess that their children are learning through media engagement (19:21)Examples of learning environments that Sonia designed in classroom and summer camp (21:42)How Sonia incorporates her creative skills into the design of informal learning environments (25:24)  The challenges that academic researchers face while designing educational games (27:07)How traditional instructional designers can leverage the wealth of creative designers in the industry (30:22) Insights and resources for parents to help them design a learning environment at home (33:13)Sonia’s ideas for designers who want to innovate in the future of learning from home (35:04)How to design engaging maker activities online plus one example from Sonia  (36:51)How to embrace storytelling in the design of learning experiences (39:25)The role of age and culture in how children engage with educational media (41:48)How Sonia’s son brings new meaning and contributes to her research (44:37)Challenges and opportunities in the future of early childhood education; the role of practitioners and researchers (46:08)The need to create opportunities for industry designers who want to build a career in Education (51:38)What Sonia wants to leave her mark on within her lifetime (55:31) Production team:Host & Producer: Maria XenidouIntroduction Voice: David Bourne  Contact us:impactlearningpodcast(at)gmail.com  Music credits:Like Lee performed by The Mini VandalsTransition sounds: Swamp Walks performed by Jingle Punks

With many children spending more than 40 hours every week in front of “screens”, what is the impact of growing up immersed in this media world? Educational media is a growing industry, but there is no regulation for what can be labeled as educational. How can parents and educators identify quality educational material? To discuss the research and practical insights on what good educational media and technologies entail, I am joined by a leading expert in children's media.   Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) Senior Lecturer, Joe Blatt is Faculty Director of the Technology, Innovation, and Education program. He has received HGSE's highest faculty honor, the Morningstar Award for Teaching Excellence. As Joe was one of my professors during my master's degree, I know first hand what an inspiring teacher he is, and his courses are extremely popular among students every year. Joe's research and teaching focus on the effects of media content and technology on human development, learning, civic behavior, and informal learning. Joe has created television series and interactive media for many types of informal learning environments. He was the executive producer of Scientific American Frontiers, and made documentaries for NOVA, and close to 100 other programs for public broadcasting. He also advises major media and technology companies, including Sesame Workshop, the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative, and Google.   Joe Blatt: https://www.gse.harvard.edu/faculty/joseph-blatt   Resources Discussed: Common Sense Media: https://www.commonsensemedia.org/ Tap, Click, Read: http://www.tapclickread.org/

In the first episode of Beyond the Chalkboard Season three, Dr. Gordon Cobb talks with Leeann Waddington, the Manager of Learning Technology and Educational Media and Lisa Gedak, the Teaching and Learning Technologies Strategist about the development of the Level Up workshops series at KPU.

Follow us on Twitter: @mikeskinnner @PatrickFO In this episode of Beyond the Lede, in “the Lede,” we discuss President Trump’s disavowal of the JCPOA, the nuclear agreement between Iran and the West. We discuss the political implications; the possible paths forward from here on out; and we detail a bit of the confusion regarding the details of theagreement, including its “sunset clauses.” Then, we cover Trump’s tweets regarding wanting to revoke the licenses of the networks, such as NBC. That is not how these things work, Mr. President. In our “Beyond the Lede” segments, where we get into individual topics and also a joint-segment, we discuss free speech, and how, in recent polls, Americans on both sides of the aisle are responding with authoritarian tendencies. Mike looks at the pernicious and troubling effects of media and screen consumption on the developing mind. All this and more!

Classroom 2.0 LIVE webinar, "Global Google Mapping" presented by Kathy Beck, March 19, 2016. We are in for a real treat with the presentation by Kathy Beck this week! She has some awesome advice and resources to share with us about Global Google Mapping. This is Kathy's description for her presentation: Global Google Mapping – can you say it 3 times fast? You have made a global connection and now you want to share your world with them, and see views of their location as well. However – your field trip budget doesn’t afford your students to travel to and SEE the locations where you have made those global connections. Let me show you some fabulous ways to utilize Google Tools to create “visual visits” as well as sharing about your own location. You will learn how to easily use some Google tools, as well as web tools like Heganoo, Thinglink, Skype, Newseum, World Explorer and apps such as Newsy, Stuck on Earth, Globe for iPad and cross-platform tools such as Flat Stanley and Duolingo. Resources and links provided. http://bit.ly/GlobalGoogleMapping Kathy Beck is an Instructional Technology Coordinator in a large school district in North Carolina.

Chaya Kulkarni, Director of Infant Mental Health at the Hospital for Sick Children, offers digital literacy tips on how parents can select educational online games and television programs for their preschooler.

Do educational toys really do anything to help your child? Can you really teach your baby to read? Dr Alina Morawska from the Positive Parenting Program says well marketed products won't necessarily help your child develop any faster.

As the design of our digital landscape is increasingly guided by commercial purposes and not by developmental concerns, there is a sense of urgency for developing strategies and educational programs that promote positive development by taking into consideration the children’s social, emotional, cognitive, physical, civic and spiritual needs. But we should also consider the unique design features of each technology and the practices and policies that shape different interactions in the digital landscape. Although this talk will focus on new technologies, it is inspired by an old question: “How should we live?” This talk will present an approach to help children gain the technological literacies of the 21st century while developing a sense of identity, values and purpose. Too often youth’s experiences with technology are framed in negative terms. This talk acknowledges problems and risks, and takes an interventionist perspective. Based on over a decade and a half of research, this talk provides a theoretical framework for guiding the implementation of experiences that take advantage of new technologies to support learning and personal development, as well as examples from concrete experiences. These engage children in playful learning by supporting digital content creation, creativity, choices of conduct, communication, collaboration and community building. These are the six C’s proposed by the Positive Technological Development framework. They can guide the design and the evaluation of digital experiences from early childhood to adolescence, and offer a possible path to help children out of the playpens into the playgrounds of this technological era. Marina Umaschi Bers, Ph.D., is an associate professor at the Eliot-Pearson Department of Child Development and the Computer Science Department at Tufts University. She heads the interdisciplinary Developmental Technologies research group. Her research involves the design and study of innovative learning technologies to promote positive youth development. Dr. Bers received prestigious awards such as the 2005 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), a five year National Science Foundation Young Investigator’s Career Award and the American Educational Research Association’s Jan Hawkins Award. Over the past decade and a half, Dr. Bers has conceived, designed and evaluated diverse technological tools ranging from robotics to virtual worlds in after-school programs, museums, hospitals, and schools both in the U.S. and abroad. Dr. Bers has received several NSF grants and is active in publishing her research in academic journals. Her book Blocks to Robots: Learning with Technology in the Early Childhood Classroom was published in 2008 by Teacher’s College Press. Most recently, Dr. Bers wrote The Design of Digital Experiences for Positive Youth Development: Out of the playpen into the playground, to be published by Oxford University in early 2012. Dr. Bers is from Argentina. In 1994 she came to the U.S. and received a Master’s degree in Educational Media from Boston University and a Master of Science and Ph.D. from the MIT Media Laboratory.
