In this #coachbetter episode, Kim talks with Tavia Clark, Learning Experience Designer at Clarity Innovations! Tavia has extensive experience designing professional learning for educators, having worked as a teacher, a coach, a leader of professional learning, a consultant at the Friday Institute in North Carolina, and now designing for other organizations at Clarity Innovations. As coaches, we're always working on designing learning - for our teachers through PD, or supporting them in designing those experiences for their students. In this conversation we talk about what professional learning should look like, how schools can create the structures and mindsets to embrace change and be adaptable, and what educators should be thinking about to design effective and engaging learning experiences for their students. If you're an educator or a coach ready to design more innovative learning experiences for your learners, this conversation is for you!  Find the show notes for this episode here.

In this episode of EdLeader, Dr. Rob Jackson sits down with Dr. Jeff McDaris, Superintendent of the Transylvania Public School System to discuss leadership that lasts.

The Institute for Emerging Issues is spending a lot of time focusing on the future of education and work. That is the main focus of the interview with this episode's guest, Tom Looney. Tom Looney solved a huge challenge in the early 2000s—how to help a Chinese company called Lenovo set up a new global headquarters in RTP and take over IBM’s PC business. Since then he has retired and become a mega volunteer, serving as board chair for the NC School of Science and Math and on board of Coastal Federation and EDPNC. We hear about his idea called CS4NC, computer science for NC. CS4NC, with support from NCDPI, NC School Districts, NCSU’s Friday Institute, Career and Technical Education, wants to raise up 3,200 more computer science teachers throughout North Carolina.

Right now, the world faces something practically unimaginable-a global pandemic- and its impacts are being felt right here in North Carolina.

Classroom 2.0 LIVE webinar “Intentional Learning Centers: Making the Most of Station Rotation” with special guest presenter, Brittany Miller. November 18, 2017. We are really looking forward to hearing from our special guest presenter, Brittany Miller, who is a Digital Learning Coach in North Carolina. Brittany is passionate about supporting teachers with the use of digital learning in their classrooms. She believes that in order to inspire teachers to rethink their roles in the classroom, and to build their capacity for student-centered learning, we have to first shake up the way we are teaching them! She will be sharing some of the strategies she recommends in her work with teachers. Webinar description: One of the most popular Blended Learning Models is Station Rotation. In this session, we will be sharing how to intentionally plan and organize stations that engage students, minimize distractions, and enable the teacher to facilitate and meet individual student needs. Brittany's philosophy is that if we want student-centered, personalized learning in our classrooms, we must first engage teachers in the types of experiences and environments that show them how. This mindset drives her work at the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation which is the research arm of the College of Education at NC State University. She has spent the past 6 years learning with and engaging educators in schools and districts across North Carolina who are integrating digital learning into their schools and classrooms. Prior to joining the team at FI, Brittany taught 9th, 11th and 12th grade English and a Young Adult Literature elective in a digitally-enabled classroom at a high school in Wake County, North Carolina. https://twitter.com/amoderneducator (Follow Brittany Miller on Twitter) http://moderneducatormiller.weebly.com/ (Brittany’s website: Digital Learning Coach) http://pllc.fi.ncsu.edu/lbl/ (Leadership in Blended Learning: Leadership in Blended Learning program, a capacity-building program designed to meet the professional learning needs of principals as they transition to digital and blended learning)

In this episode of Virtual Viewpoints, we’re talking with Dr. Barbara Treacy, an instructor at Harvard University and Digital Learning Consultant. Those two titles certainly don’t do justice to all of the important work and service that Barbara has provided for the field of K-12 online and blended learning over her career. During our conversation, we touch on her work in providing online professional development for teachers, serving on the Digital Learning Advisory Council for the state of Massachusetts, teaching graduate students at Harvard, and working to develop leaders in blended learning with the Friday Institute.

K-12 education is being transformed nationally and here in North Carolina, as schools move quickly to take advantage of improved internet connectivity and new digital tools to enhance learning. We’ll talk about the state of digital learning in North Carolina from those helping lead it and those implementing it in classrooms today. Guests: • Dr. Jeni Corn, Director of Evaluation Programs, Friday Institute for Educational Innovation at NC State • Dr. Maria Pitre-Martin, Chief Academic & Digital Learning Officer, NC Department of Public Instruction • Andrew Livengood, Principal, Pine Hollow Middle School, Wake County • Harden Barker, 7th Grade Math Teacher, Pine Hollow Middle School, Wake County

In this episode, we’re talking with Mary Ann Wolf, the Director of Digital Learning Programs at the Friday Institute at NC State University. We talk about a number of exciting initiatives that Mary Ann oversees and contributes to, including the digital learning plan for the entire state of North Carolina, efforts to increase capacity around blended learning leadership, and ways to rethink professional development approaches for digital learning implementation.

In the late 80s, Kent Beck and Ward Cunningham came up with HotDraw (http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?HotDraw), a two-dimensional graphics framework for structured drawing editors, originally written in Smalltalk-80. Since then, many implementations have been created, and the principles applied in a lot of places. While a lot has been learned, the original HotDraw still outshines many of its successors. In the last few years, RoleModel Software was asked to build several systems with a complex underlying model where the user input was primarily direct graphical manipulation. This included: * a system to support educational innovators at the Friday Institute, using direct manipulation tasks to test and teach various mathematical concepts to elementary age children. * a deck designer for decks.com, to design and produce a 3D rendering, materials lists, and permit-ready plans to help do-it-yourselfers get professional designs in seconds. The solution in both cases included a HotDraw-like JavaScript approach to drawing and direct manipulation on an HTML5 Canvas, almost completely test driven using Jasmine. We'll go over the highlights of the cool technical feats and show how JavaScript is not just for manipulating the DOM.
