Episode 2 of Season 2 brings us an exhilarating conversation with our good friend and colleague, Glen Irvin. Glen is a bigger nerd than us only because he's been doing it a bit longer. Our conversation focuses on the relationship between EdTech in K12 and Higher Ed. Glen's insights help us see what's so different on the K12 side, but ultimately how most of us operate on the same rules of EdTech integration. Lastly, Glen gives us his top tech tool, and you know it's one of the HiTech team's favorites: Nearpod. For more information on these tools and our conversation, check out the episode page here.

Gamification, game-based learning, and competitive gaming are all popular in education right now. Today, I talk with Glen Irvin Flores about his experiences with game-based learning and how it can be so powerful in the classroom. As an instructional technology coach and former teacher, Glen has experienced the hands-on approach of applying game-based learning in the classroom, but also the coaching of folks for its inclusion.

On today’s show… Minecraft is a powerful tool for learning, and language learning is where that power really shines. We’re going to talk about how Minecraft can be used to help you deliver amazing language learning lessons. You can build a world, craft a story and then live in that world while you learn. We’re not just talking English either. We’ll talk to Glen Irvin this week about how he used Minecraft in his Spanish language classes to provide that same deep, meaningful experience.Glen IrvinTwitter: https://twitter.com/irvspanishNPCs are humanoid characters in Minecraft that can be used to provide ambiance, fun interactions and communications related to lessons, directions or dialogue. To create NPCs, open your inventory (type E) and add a Spawn Egg to your inventory. Place the Spawn Egg to create an NPC. To program an NPC, right click the NPC to bring up the customize screen. In this screen, you can change the name, displayed text and skin. You can add URLs and special commands in Advanced Settings. World Builders can re-access this menu repeatedly to edit it. The name of the NPC will remain visible from a distance, even through walls. When an Operator or non-World Builder right clicks on an NPC, they will see the displayed text.

Welcome back to Season Six of Linking Our Libraries! Check on our show notes page here, to get the links to other resources, and links to the books we discussed. This week we look at a skill so many of us will use: starting a new job! When you are new in the library, it can be tough to figure out what you are supposed to be doing, who you are supposed to talk with, and what is going on around you. After you have been there for a while, it’s important to keep working on helping your job to stay fresh. You really don’t want to be one of those people who count down to retirement in the next ten years, while doing nothing more than sitting around complaining. We have two Guest Hosts this week: Stephanie Schlangen and Glen Irvin, who are technology integration coaches from Sauk Rapids-Rice HS.
