Tod Johnston, a Senior Education Content Manager at Sphero, discusses how his company uses robots to teach cybersecurity concepts to middle school students. Their robotic balls help students visualize abstract cybersecurity topics like man-in-the-middle attacks. Tod explains how they developed lessons in collaboration with cybersecurity experts to give students an initial understanding of cyber threats and how to act responsibly online. Tod hopes to expand these lessons to younger students in the future. The discussion also touches on the challenges of educating both students and adults about cybersecurity given that technology is evolving rapidly and privacy policies are often difficult to understand. Sphero - Blueprint- basics of engineering  Educators need to think about cybersecurity from a student's perspective, rather than a technology perspective.  We should be inviting students to learn about their privacy policies to help them make better choices.  Sphero programmable balls are good for teaching programmable, algorithmic skills, but it's always difficult to teach cybersecurity.  An example of a man in the middle attack  Can't damage other people's property  Student in Miami-Dade who hacked the school district.  Dr. Pauline Mosley collaborated on Sphero's curriculum  The hope for the future of designing software and hardware and what they should look like.  - How GDPR has ruined the webAbout Tod JohnstonTod Johnston is a Senior Education Content Manager at Sphero, leveraging over 10 years of experience in classroom settings.

What is a “Learning Experience Designer”? Listen to our episode with Ashley Dunn and see. Ashley is a first-generation West-Indian American with parents from Grenada and the United Kingdom. She grew up in a world where many people were different than her. While her elementary school days did include more black people than white people, she had the opportunity to and chose to attend a high school primarily composed of white people. As she will tell you, she learned during that time how to be an advocate for herself as well as how to get along with people with different priorities and upbringings than she experienced.   After college Ashley began teaching where she further developed an amazing viewpoint that helped her work and live with a number of different kinds of people with a wide variety of identities many of which she had not observed before. Wait until you hear Ashley discuss the first day of hunting season while she was teaching at one particular school.   Today Ashley works as a Learning Experience Designer which is a job that permits her to help create a curriculum that is more understandable than many might think possible, especially in the tech industry where Ashley works. Also, Ashley owns her own side business, Nuggets Of Knowledge LLC. her business is an education consultation organization providing tutoring and college preparation for students of color in the DMV area.   About the Guest:     Ashley Dunn is a seasoned educator currently working in the tech space as a Learning Experience Designer. She is a first-generation West-Indian American with parents from Grenada and the United Kingdom. She lives in Maryland with her husband Sedar, who is Liberian American, and her son, Lucas. As parents they find it key to provide their son with a strong sense of his diasporic identity, pulling from his family's rich histories. The commitment to see people as they are, and provide a safe space for others to share their identities is the core of what Ashley is most passionate about.   Her academic experiences at Dickinson College (B.A.), Notre Dame of Maryland University (M.A.), and McDaniel College (PBACC) have been centered around Equity studies in the secondary school environment. In  February of 2020, she was a key-note speaker for the Dickinson College Education Department, and a professor intern in the McDaniel College Excellence in Equity graduate program.   Before moving into her current role in tech, she taught high school English for 9 years in private and public schools in the Washington DC area. Her classroom was complete with diverse authors and time invested in class discussions connecting students with a range of experiences. She then transitioned to a Curriculum Specialist role managing curriculum for grades 6-12 in the most diverse school district in the Washington, DC area. She enjoyed influencing the texts selected in classrooms, developing anti-racist teacher training, and ensuring equitable implementation of curricular resources. She managed the district reading intervention programs for students who were not yet reading on grade level. She loves learning and ensuring that learning is accessible and inclusive for learners.   Following the birth of her son, Lucas, she decided to curate her passions into a business empowering families similar to her own. She is the owner of Nuggets of Knowledge LLC, her education consultation business providing tutoring and college preparation for students of color in the DMV area. Nuggets of Knowledge content is a combination of her experience as a teacher and a parent educating her son at home.

Today my guest is Christy Tucker, a Learning Experience Designer. In this episode, we explore the world of storytelling, technology, and the use of scenarios in teaching, learning and other educational situations. Christy reflects on her experiences as a high school music and band teacher, and her pathway to working as an instructional designer for adult learners. We chat about stories with multiple pathways, that is, non-linear narratives, and the many decisions a reader makes as they work their way through, for example, a “Choose your own adventure” book, shaping a unique story along the way. We explore how this approach is similar to the use of non-linear branching scenarios sometimes used in online workplace training. Christy shares some ideas on why she uses this engaging approach, how she plans the scenario content and then gets organised to manage often complex collections of content. We also explore the multiple decisions that learners need to make in order to travel through such a scenario, leading to many potential learner pathways. To manage the complexity of this, we explore Twine, an open-source tool for telling interactive, nonlinear stories. Christy also shares insights into the different approaches she uses when designing and developing learner feedback, such as intrinsic feedback as compared to instructional feedback, with both approaches having value within a training experience. We find out about the value and practical use of learner profiles and folio-based assessments that help students structure and organise their evidence. Finally, Christy offers a range of insights on a few fundamentals in this space, especially around well-written learning outcomes and the use of good writing.

Regardless of your vision and abilities, nothing will happen unless you make the commitment to follow through. And while people follow through with commitments every day, these commitments are not always constructive—and can perhaps be best described as destructive habits, limiting beliefs, or stagnant skills. #engagement #attention #interest #desire #positivity This Volume 4 Issue 8 positivity article originally appeared on the Hashtag Positivity website on October 28, 2021.

№14 Ted Curran, AutodeskMy guest for today's episode is Ted Curran. Ted is a Learning Experience Designer for Autodesk.

Use A Slack Channel: How Chat Platforms Like Slack Increase Learner Engagement and Success During Content Delivery,” so you can see what I mean.In this riveting and very insightful conversation, Ted and I talk about:How Autodesk was "lucky" to host the last face-to-face elearning conference, and the challenges that came in converting a year's worth of instructional design content into a fully online setting.Ted's ideas and successes on fixing the "online learning backlash" that many students, teachers and parents faced as they met a rushed and subpar elearning experience.Why, as education technologists, it can sometimes be unfair to blame teachers for an unengaging virtual experience, and why the UX of the teacher is at least as important as that of the student.The value of structure, collaboration and "narrow roles" in online education teams, to prevent the all too common teacher burnout that comes from having too many hats.The need to re-think teaching in online media, and the four new roles Ted believes online teachers are meant to take on.~
