In this episode of Unpacking Education, we sit down with renowned education technology advocate and author Ken Shelton to discuss his latest book, The Promises and Perils of AI in Education. Ken brings his years of experience as a middle school teacher, technology lab leader, and global speaker to a thought-provoking conversation about the transformative potential—and challenges—of artificial intelligence in education. Ken shares how we must engage critically with AI and its implementation to make sure it is used ethically and effectively in our schools and classrooms. Visit AVID Open Access to learn more.

We'll have a full season of 3Ps in a Pod starting soon. In the meantime, here's a special episode of 3Ps in a Pod with Ken Shelton, an expert on artificial intelligence (AI) in education and author of The Promises and Perils of AI in Education: Ethics and Equity Have Entered the Chat. Marlys Weaver of the Arizona K12 Center and Dr. LeeAnn Lindsey of the Arizona Institute for Education and the Economy, co-host this episode. Dr. Lindsey also co-hosted the four-part AI in Education podcast series last spring and was part of the team that created the guide Generative Artificial Intelligence in K-12 Education: Guidance for Arizona Schools and School Systems. Ken has worked in education for more than 20 years and holds a Master of Arts in education with a specialization in educational technology as well as new media design and production. Generative AI, he explains, does have both benefits and significant challenges. He explores several of the issues with AI. Many of these grow out of AI being built by humans, who bring their own perspectives and biases. This not only can include AI programs being built by teams with a lack of diversity in general but also education AI programs being build by teams that include few or no classroom practitioners. For educators to use generative AI programs responsibly to support students, those programs must be designed for our learners' reality. When people use AI without understanding the biases that can come with a particular program, that AI tool can cause more harm than good, Ken explains. He shares newsworthy examples of chatbots that have shared incorrect and troublesome information with students. This leads into a conversation about how educators select AI tools. Often, educators may select AI tools because students may seem more engaged with technology, but Ken offers several questions educators can use when deciding when and how to use AI. These include asking why you're using a tool or program in a particular way, “What is the learning, experiential or educational goal or purpose of using an AI tool?” and “What problem does this solve that you can't address with other available resources?” Ken and Dr. Lindsey also discuss how “performatively engaging” technology can be for students. Ken recommends that educators do not confuse activity with engagement. AI tools can appear “fun,” as Dr. Lindsey notes, but to be used responsibly and effectively, Ken states that educators must frame AI use around educational goals and the experiences educators want students to have to reach those goals.  Ken closes the episode talking about the things that AI can do better than humans and what humans will always be able to do better than AI. He then shares the positives that can come from AI use in schools.  At an upcoming series on AI in Education, Ken Shelton will work with teachers in going beyond the tips and tricks of AI use and building an ethical approach that serves all students.

In this last episode of 2021 we end the year with internationally-acclaimed speaker Ken Shelton on the topic of technology in schools. We cover so many more topics and Ken provides us with several real-world examples that I think anyone in education can appreciate. Whether you are an administrator, educator, parent, or even student I think there is a piece of advice for everyone.Read more about Ken's writing on “techquity” here: "Techquity": Going from Digital Poverty to Digital EmpowermentThis conversation with Ken is a great way to end the first year of the podcast as he comes to share insights and experiences from so many different perspectives in education (as a classroom teacher, education keynote speaker, consultant, and involvement with education policy). I know these past two years have been especially difficult for educators but Ken does provide advice that one could implement on Monday morning or over the course of a career.

The pandemic hastened what was already a rapidly-evolving relationship between schooling and technology. Although millions of students have now been assigned their own devices and logins for a litany of online platforms, the digital divide still persists and students in both rural and urban neighborhoods continue to struggle with limited connectivity.

In the midst of this pandemic, many educators jumped at the chance to podcast, including yours sincerely. Podcasting became a way for teachers to connect with each other and share ideas for how best to educate their students in these unique times. There are many great educational podcasts available today, including Leader of Learning hosted by Dr. Dan Kreiness, Teachers of Fire hosted by Tim Cavey, and the Flipboard EDU Podcast, if I say so myself. Fun fact:  both fellow podcasters are also assistant principals.What I am most proud of in the educator podcast community is the representation of Black male voices. These perspectives can be very different from mainstream experiences. The Liberated Educator Podcasts hosted by Ken Shelton, Dee Lanier, and Brian Romero-Smith Sr.,  Educating While Black Podcast hosted by Mahlon Evans-Sinclair are great examples in America and Canada.Joining this group of podcasters is a friend of the show TaRael Key, president of the Illinois School Counselor Association, new assistant principal, and guest of Episode 26: Tackling the Achievement Gap. On his new podcast, called The Kee to Success, he discusses educating youth and shares his experiences as an educator in the COVID-19 era. I invited TaRael back to tell us more about his podcast, his reason for starting it now, and what his platform will be. We discuss the importance of sharing the perspective of Black men in education and how our contributions matter in the larger conversation of education.Flipboard EDU Magazine Flipboard Educators Blog Flipboard EDU Podcast Website Copyright Chillhop Music - https://chll.to/b9bb917bCopyright Chillhop Music - https://chll.to/6cd0b356Copyright Chillhop Music - https://chll.to/fae889b3https://uppbeat.io/t/sensho/double-takeLicense code: ZQLKLMU6EZ4EZUVMhttps://uppbeat.io/t/ra/take-actionLicense code: 9OMFXRUMARMT10IPMusic from Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/pryces/music-isLicense code: WO9N7QDIM5PFELOFSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/FlipEDU?fan_landing=true)

Access the full blog post and show notes here. Leading from home through a crisis is a whole new beast. We, as educators and leaders, find ourselves leading from a very unexpected place. Home.  Good leaders step up and lead through hard times, and that's exactly what I see happening every day. I have never been more proud to call myself a teacher. Teachers are stepping up and doing things they've never done before, often without any training. No one could have ever predicted we would be in this crisis, and that teachers and school leaders would be leading from home, but what have we learned? Where do we go from here? What will be our new normal? Join me for this in-depth episode on leading through crisis and beyond for teachers and educational leaders. Shoutout All the tech coaches in my Tech Coach Collaborative Group. Everyone has been so supportive and driven to help everyone thrive during this time. Quick Tip of the Week Google Classroom: Use Private Comments for Reflection on assignments.  Some teachers take the private comments feature a step further and make it part of the assignment by requiring that students add a reflection as a private comment after they submit their assignment. Sean Fahey suggests using an open-ended question or give students a prompt like, “What did you like most about the assignment?” or “What part challenged you the most?” Be sure to add this to your directions, so they don’t forget! Watch this video to learn how! All quick tips are here: https://shakeuplearning.com/quick-tip-of-the-week/ Leading Through Crisis and Beyond These are truly unprecedented times. As I’m recording, we are still deep in the clutches of the Covid-19 pandemic and emergency school closures. This means educators all over the country find themselves leading from home. This is a post I never thought I would write. Our world has been turned upside down, and our plans have changed. Suddenly, I find myself writing about leading from home through a crisis. As many schools, teachers, and other educational leaders are scrambling to deliver remote learning from our own homes; we find ourselves leading from an unexpected place. Teachers are leading their students from home. Principals are leading their campuses from home. Technology coaches and leaders are leading from home. Even Superintendents are suddenly leading hundreds of thousands of students, teachers, staff, and parents from their own homes. We don't have answers, but we have many problems and obstacles in front of us. Many of us are over-stressed, anxious, and worried about the virus, our loved ones, the future--the future of school, the future of the economy, and the future of our nation. This global crisis will be marked on the history timeline of every country around the world. Because you are a leader, the pressure is that much greater. You are not just worried about yourself and your loved ones, but your students and your school. "How do we lead during a crisis?" - Craig Groeschel Rest assured, we will get through this---TOGETHER! Good leaders step up and lead through hard times, and that's exactly what I see happening every day. I have never been more proud to call myself a teacher. Teachers are stepping up and doing things they've never done before, often without any training.The pressure is greater than ever for us to be a support system to our students and their families, but we are also worried and focused on our own families. So how do you lead through a crisis? Go. Do. Support. This is what educators do. Anyone who ever thought being a teacher was easy is suddenly realizing that teachers are worth their weight in gold! (Craig Groeschel Leadership Podcast) Take Care of Business Now We have the time and the opportunity to move the education system forward in a dramatic way. This is the opportunity to take care of issues that should have been done months or even years ago. For many educators, the tech training they’ve been putting off has suddenly become a must-have skill. Never let a good crisis go to waste! We have many opportunities before us to lead like never before. This is the opportunity to take care of issues that should have been done months or even years ago. For many educators, that tech training you've been putting off has suddenly become a must-have skill. The 4 Phases of Crisis-Driven Remote Learning Phase 1: Emergency/Survival The first phase is the emergency/survival mode. Many schools had already set the groundwork for digital learning and were able to adapt more quickly. For a host of others, this time has brought to light issues that need to be addressed as quickly as possible. You may still be in this phase right now. Phase 2: Plan in Place The second phase is when we start to hit our groove. The plan is in place, and most everyone knows the expectations. The lessons are laid out, we’ve started to figure out how to support each other and our students, and things have started to flow. Many districts are in this phase right now. Phase 3: Wrap Up the School Year Next, we will see the wrap-up. We’re wrapping up the school year to end this semester. However, now administrators are focused on how they can properly report on attendance numbers, support, grades, etc. to pass federal and state laws and requirements. I expect to see some last-minute pressure on administrators and teachers to comply with requirements at the state and federal level. Phase 4: The New Normal So what’s next? Figuring out our new normal. We don't know what this will look like yet or what school will look like in the fall. We do know that we will need digital learning tools for communication, collaboration, and to engage our students in learning inside and outside of the classroom. The need will still be there. What We've Learned - The Gaps! Our gaps have become very apparent! Digital Equity Equity is one of the huge gaps. I commend those schools have been working triple time to offer wifi access and resources to kids who don’t necessarily have the means. The pandemic is truly highlighting the areas of need where equity in education doesn’t exist. This gap needs to be at the top of our list! (Learn more about digital equity in e51 with Ken Shelton.) Skills There are also so many gaps in the skills of teachers and students. The demand for basic digital learning skills has hit a new high. This emergency school closure has shown how many teachers haven't received training and professional learning. Schools who invested in meaningful PD for their teachers and set a standard for digital assignments were much more prepared. Digital Tools The need for digital tools is also bigger than ever. Schools and teachers who had ignored things like G Suite and Google Classroom were in a sink or swim situation. Now is not the time for new tools, as we learned from Jennifer Pearson. But if schools didn't have anything in place or expectations for teachers to use it, you had to find a solution quickly. Offline and Online Activities Even though students may be at home, even those with access to the Internet and devices, we don't need kids sitting in front of screens all day. The school day cannot be replicated online. We need a balance of offline and online activities, as mentioned in episode 57. Communication The need for concise and streamlined communication is ever apparent. Communication within districts and campuses, as well and student and family communication needs more context, and needs to be written in a way that all stakeholders understand, including making it available in multiple languages. Many schools had policies and communications tools in place, which helped them communicate their home learning plans. Those who did not have streamlined plans have suffered and scrambled. Privacy and Safety Privacy and safety for our students and families have become a hot topic among schools and the media. We knew that protecting students was important at school, but how do we protect them at home? Digital Citizenship Digital citizenship is more important than ever. Students need to learn and understand how to behave appropriately online, online etiquette, and how to protect themselves. Leaning on G Suite, Microsoft, and other Tools to Survive Most schools have found themselves leaning heavily on G Suite or Microsoft tools to survive. Some were already users, some only had access without training, and some scrambled to get access in place so they could manage remote learning. Why G Suite Now? Teachers, students, parents, and schools need a one-stop-shop to distribute assignments. (Google Classroom) The need for a video conferencing tool to connect and actually see faces! (Google Meet) And also the need for a better understanding of cloud computing, sharing, and collaboration. I've answered a lot of basic questions from new users! (See also The Guide to Google Drive Sharing.) Why G Suite Later? We've made great strides over the last few weeks. Many teachers and students have gained new skills, and we don't want to lose that momentum. But remember, the focus should NEVER be on the technology, but on the learning goals, no matter where the learning takes place. Learn What’s Next Schools have been leaning on G Suite and Microsoft to survive. I’ve updated several of my resources. You need to know what it means to use cloud computing. These tools are helping us to survive, but they will also be vital as we move forward. The number one purpose of these tools is collaboration. We will be able to maximize the skills learned during this period when we return to the new normal. School leaders guide your teachers to the BEST resources to support your goals. Curate and share! Don't overwhelm with a massive list of resources and links. Leaders must curate! Connect and learn on social media, host a Twitter chat, create a Facebook group, or just search a useful hashtag. The Opportunity for Dynamic Learning You are still a teacher! You still have your instructional skills. Don't forget that! This period is not about digitizing a bunch of junk. Use this time to better your students and their attitude toward learning.  It's okay to fail. We are all learning, and we are better together. We will use these new opportunities to move toward more dynamic learning experiences for our students when we return to the new normal. Hang in there!

Access the full blog post and show notes here. One of the biggest issues facing the learning community today is creating diverse and equitable educational practices, tools and strategies.  Ken Shelton has spent over 14 years working to create digital equity in our classrooms and speaking on why it matters. His extensive work at the policy level led to his appointment as the California State Superintendent of Public Instruction’s Education Technology Taskforce. He is going to help us analyze the digital equity and inclusion problem to find better ways to provide a diverse and equitable educational experience. But first... Shoutout Shout out to all of my friends with Northside ISD in San Antonio, specifically at Thornton Elementary and Rudder Middle Schools. I was there recently delivering staff development instruction and we had a blast. Thank you for your time and for everything you’re doing to help our students grow. Do you have a question or idea to share on the podcast? Leave me a message here. Quick Tip of the Week This week I wanted to share a Chrome extension that I almost forgot that I use because I use it so frequently. It’s called Eye Dropper and it allows you to go grab any color off of a webpage and save it to a palette. You can pull the hex code and incorporate them into your projects. #Techquity - What Does it Mean? The search for digital equity is multi-tiered and doesn’t stop at the need for access to devices. Techquity encompasses the entire structure and framework for creating connections in a digital space. No matter the number of devices you have, if your network is lacking, they won’t work.  Additionally, the apps and information that each child has access to need to be uniform. This is why Ken and I are such proponents of using the Google Suite of tools. Those tools allow districts and students the opportunity to connect across platforms in a uniform way while building a tech-based knowledge infrastructure.  Being fully connected in a digital space means having the infrastructure, the device, and the mechanisms for making those meaningful connections. Using Techquity to Create Cross-Cultural Experiences For too long, the information provided to our kids has been diluted and sanitized. Technology helps bring together different cultures, thoughts, and opinions. By using the Google Suite, those differences are weaved together into a vast multi-cultural community that spans districts. The importance here is helping students to think on a level of inclusion and this is only possible when they have access to the right tools and opportunity. The internet opens up a world of knowledge and understanding that simply needs to be fostered in our kids’ minds. Do you know what your kids are reading? What are you assigning to them? You cannot adequately assess any student’s reading comprehension if all students are reading the exact same thing. The literature we bring to our kids needs to be inclusive of different religions, cultures, and voices. The same can be said of our STEM programs. Why are girls so under-represented in STEM programs? Because there are so few female teachers there to show them they can do it. The system, in general, needs an overhaul so that our young, impressionable minds can once again see themselves as being able to do anything they want to with representation.  How Can You Help Bridge the Gap?  The very first thing that educators can do to bridge the gap and create more equity in their classrooms is to become educated. So few programs include discussions of diversity and inclusion and how to create a more connected classroom. We need to make it a point to bring these concepts into our continuing education and development programs. When you know better, you do better (thank you, Maya Angelou), and as Ken states, without a deep understanding of the effects of a lack of diversity in the curriculum, it’s hard to understand what the kids are going through.  If you are learning something or become aware of something that you didn’t know before, drop the guilt, and work to overcome the barriers that you’ve come upon. Becoming culturally responsive means that as you learn more, you adapt and work to increase engagement and awareness.  How Can Developmental Learning Specialists With the Techquity Issue? While it is difficult to bring up these conversations, it is not impossible. When you leave the guilt behind and work on creating effective strategies for changing the educational culture within your school, you leave the checkbox behind. This is not a checkbox issue. This is a change that needs to be addressed from a place of sustainability. The equity issue is not a one and done issue when it comes to creating true change. You cannot attend a workshop and come out equipped to address the issues in an ongoing fashion. Instead, this topic should be approached from multiple sides, and discussed often to enact permanent change. You have to have an administration who is willing to tackle this issue and embrace  an ongoing conversation. Using Technology to Level the Playing Field When technology is used correctly, you can destroy the barriers to communication that decrease connection. We need to use technology as the catalyst to facilitate meaningful changes in continuing education and development. What’s been most inspirational for Ken was connecting with a group of students. Even though they had graduated, he had become such a fixture in their education, that they wanted to send him a picture of their graduation.  The only way this was possible was through technology, and it further solidified the fact that technology is the catalyst for change. It also wouldn’t be possible if the teacher were less aware of the benefits of diversity and ongoing communication with the class.  Ken’s Advice for Getting Started with Techquity Teachers… you need to be on social media. English teachers, reach out to the authors that you’re studying and see if they are willing to speak to the class. Math teachers, think of having interviews with influential people in the field and have your students complete assignments. The same is true for all of the other core subjects. The question is, how can you use technology to create equity and social inclusion in your classroom? How can you gain access to knowledge that you don’t currently have? Think of the message this sends to your students. Simply having the courage to reach out to someone shows students that they do not have to leave communications behind.

In this episode, former teacher and internationally-acclaimed keynote speaker Ken Shelton reflects on life lessons growing up during the peak of gang violence in Los Angeles and how his own journey from Division I athlete to classroom teacher helped shape his passion for equity in our schools. Shelton, a strong advocate for “techquity” in education, also talks about the importance of creating student opportunities that are both culturally responsive and culturally relevant to support the development of essential skills in K-12 classrooms. Finally, Shelton closes by talking about how shifting daily vocabulary about kids from “at-risk” to “vulnerable” can be an important first step to moving away from a deficit-model that will ultimately create better conditions for student success.

Episode 48 - Listen to Your Audience Like WBCN Listened to Theirs Listen to your audience like WBCN listened to theirs. WBCN 104.1 FM. "The Rock of Boston." What a ridiculously awesome radio station it was back in the day. Charles Laquidara. Ken Shelton. Tracy Roach. Albert O. Carter Alan. Great personalities behind the mic. Great music on the air. It wasn't all about them, though. WBCN really cared about its listeners, so much so that the station had something called the listener line that people could call into and ask the volunteers who answered the phone anything at all. WBCN listened to its audience both literally and figuratively, in that they knew exactly what people wanted from them in a radio station and gave it to them. As it was for 'BCN then, it should be for any brand or business in this day and age. Take the pulse of your customers and constituents. Take requests. Take notes. Listen to your audience like WBCN listened to theirs and learn from their feedback.
