Welcome to episode 108 of the EdTech Situation Room from September 26, 2018, where technology news meets educational analysis. This week Wesley Fryer (@wfryer) and special guest Miguel Guhlin (@mguhlin) discussed the past week's technology news through an educational lens. Co-host Jason Neiffer (@techsavvyteach) was on special assignment. Topics highlighted in this week's show included Microsoft's MakeCode resources, the crooked path of a YouTube star to fan fame on new media platforms, and the emergence of "deep fake" videos. If we had a show title based on the show conversations, it would likely be Miguel's comment, "The boy turned away from Linux, I thought he was doomed!" Miguel and Wes also discussed the importance of students learning how to effectively and responsibly create video today, the recent European Human Rights Court ruling finding the mass surveillance of Great Britain's GHCQ intelligence organization illegal that was originally highlighted by Edward Snowden, and the prospect of worldwide surveillance through drone monitoring. The Australian government's new anti-encryption legislation, an FBI alarm on student data privacy, the launch of FireFox's "Privacy Monitor," and the feared demise of Evernote as a notetaking cloud platform were also discussed. Miguel set a new global record for podcast "Geek of the Week" shares, including Paranoia Works for personal encryption of data, the book Kill Decision by Daniel Suarez, Glary Utilities for WindowsOS management, an Amazing 1Note Link from Microsoft, the TCEA TechNotes Blog, and Joplin Notes. Wes' Geek of the Week was "Learning Creative Learning," a Free online course by MIT Media Lab starting 9 Oct 2018. Check out edtechSR.com/links for all shownotes, including those listed below.

Welcome to episode 25 of the EdTech Situation Room from October 12, 2016, where technology news meets educational analysis. This week Jason Neiffer (@techsavvyteach) was out on assignment, so Wesley Fryer (@wfryer) joined Miguel Guhlin (@mguhlin) for a lively conversation about the positive power of Internet technologies to connect us to information as well as each other. Discussion also focused on Google's new Duo videoconferencing and collaboration platform/app, the implications of AI (artificial intelligence) for our lives and our classrooms, and a recent anti-tech rant by educational policy wonk Diane Ravitch. Wes shared a shout-out to the new "Voices of DARPA" podcast, and Miguel reflect how the outbreak of "predatory academic journals" reminds of the mid-2000's as blogs exploded and many pundits heralded the end of information trust and credible sources. Miguel's Geeks of the Week included the OneNote app and OneNote for Teachers, The Microsoft Selfie app (no that's not a joke, it's a real app) and Google Duo. Wes' Geeks of the Week included the free "Simple Footnotes WordPress Plugin" and the amazing "Interactive Current Earth Wind Map" shared last week during landfall of Hurricane Matthew by @thekidshouldsee.

We were joined for episode 3 of our Blab.im powered weekly podcast by educational technology guru and noted futurist Miguel Guhlin (@mguhlin) of San Antonio, Texas! Hosts Jason Neiffer (@techsavvyteach) and Wes Fryer (@wfryer) met in "The EdTech Situation Room" on February 10, 2016, and discussed current news and trends in educational technology with Miguel. In this week's show we discussed our responses to the economic and digital hegemony of Google and Apple (actually we didn't use those words, but we did talk about that issue). We talked about Google's online store for 'books that can't be printed,' the importance of OER (Open Educational Resources) for schools, and the role of the printed textbook in an increasingly digital information landscape. Wes ranted a bit about the ascendant power of artificial intelligence, and Miguel revealed his true (and startling) personal views on DRM (digital rights management) as they relate to educational curricula. Jason challenged us to think about the permanency and durability of digital information in formats which, given time, are sure to be eclipsed by newer mediums. As always we wrapped up the show with some practical "Geek of the Week" links and tips. We'll take a week off and be back for episode 4 on February 24, 2016, when Jason will be broadcasting live from the NCCE Conference in Seattle, Washington.

A weekly chat tackling the issue of educational technology from both sides. Ben Rimes, a former teacher turned educational technologist, chats with Pete Poggione, an Information Technology Professional from the private sector turned School IT Director.In the first episode, Pete attempts to answer a difficult question about why all of the technology isn't connected and setup at the start of the school year, submitted by Miguel Guhlin from his "Stump the Tech Director" blog post. We also interpret Troy Hick's question about changing "Yeah, buts...." into something more positive.Timestamps for this week's questions:1:52 - What was Pete doing today?6:06 - Why can't you hook up all of my technology so it's ready to go at the start of the school year?8:48 - How do you prioritize who gets service first?14:23 - How do we turn the "yeah, buts..." into "yes, ands..."?You can talk about the show or continue the conversations on Twitter using the hashtag #TechDirectorChat or chatting up Ben (@techsavvyed) or Pete (@ppoggione) on Twitter
Jokes: Qualifications for Presidency An eighth grade teacher was leading a discussion on the qualifications for being president of the United States. After the teacher commented that a person must be a natural-born citizen, one of the students raised her hand. Does that mean that if you were born by Caesarean section that you can't be president?

Some say that technology does not improve student learning, and have plenty of data to back it up. Others say the reason for that is that teachers aren't teaching differently with technology than they do in their classrooms. I say that if we want to improve learning with technology, we need to understand the learning process. Once we do, we'll be better able to apply those beliefs about how learning should happen to any technology that comes our way.In this episode, we'll look at 3 popular learning theories, and make connections to how technology can leverage the learning process.
