Episode 29: David Ogul is my guest on this episode of Higher Education Coffee & Conversation, an extremely talented award-winning writer and editor who I have been lucky enough to work with for the better part of 17 years.  David started his career as a freelance reporter working for organizations like the LA Times and Baltimore Sun.  Our relationship began when David covered a few stories at MiraCosta College where I was serving as Director of Marketing & Communications at the time.  David's reputation as a stellar journalist and writer is what landed him his current role as Interim Director of College & Community Relations at Grossmont College, where he works on many different projects related to communication and marketing.  I learned a lot from this conversation where David and I discuss some of the challenges he has faced taking on tasks outside of his skillset as a journalist, such as buying ads and putting together strategic marketing plans.  David also drops some gems on overcoming writer's block and why it's important to do thorough research before you sit down to start writing.  I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did!

Ghada shares telehealth resources available to students and addresses the stages of coming to terms with ongoing crises.

Many of us are being driven to find/create content for the distance education format and I want to encourage us to allow our passions to drive our content. My passion for hip hop lead me to develop into a spoken word poet, but more importantly, it helped me construct a curriculum that empowers historically marginalized students by helping them center their beliefs, culture, and perspectives in an academic environment.Quick points:- Pursuing your passions as an instructor allows the content to be meaningful to you- Use your classroom to help students pursue their own passions and this will close equity gaps- I use spoken word poetry to help students connect with the emotions of a social issuePoetry ResourcesAnt Black - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZrQbv9RO3oRudy Francisco - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR1_2lFXJI4 Yes, that is me obnoxiously laughing in the background!

I talk about white teachers that I had at MiraCosta College and UC, San Diego and the things that they said or did to change my life. Some things were very big, but most things that were done were relatively small. I hope this is encouraging to white teachers that struggle with their place in the effort to close equity gaps.

Sean Davis (Joyful Teacher in Residence at MiraCosta College) and I challenge the underlying assumptions and meanings of when teachers say that they treat everyone the same. We examine the value of treating student-equity groups differently based on their learning needs. We end with giving straight-forward, practical advise to create a more inclusive classroom.

Sean Davis (Joyful Teacher in Residence at MiraCosta College) and I, talk about the philosophical difference in approaching a class believing that we need to cover the content versus taking an uncovering content style. Uncovering content allows deeper dives into specific concepts, robust classroom discussions and partnering with students to help them learn about what they are interested in within your discipline. In the end, we talk about how this approach may positively affect student-equity groups.

Sean Davis (Joyful Teacher in Residence at MiraCosta College) and I explore the rationale as to why teachers use multiple-choice questions. What are they good for? What are they bad for? We then give alternative ways to use multiple-choice questions and how this may positively effect on student-equity groups.

In this episode of AACC's Community College Voice, we get to know MiraCosta College's president Sunny Cooke.

In this podcast, we're excited to bring you two expert guests at the intersection of fitness, technology, and education. So many of the leaders we've had on the show have given us a powerful inside look behind the curtain of what fitness tech apps, platforms, and devices are positively impacting our space, but many in the health, wellness, and fitness worlds still have looming questions about exactly how these technologies will plug in into our healthcare ecosystems. A bigger and even more specific question around fitness technology is how will the education and integration of these new innovations support long term behavior change for our industry's members?  With the rise of technology, how is the academic world answering the call to create that trusted bridge between the knowing and the doing when it comes to applying technology and facilitating positive health outcomes?  We're answering these questions and much more in this episode with fitness technology expert Ted Vickey, for his return to the show from episode 008, and Jessica Matthews, an award-winning and industry leading health and wellness educator.  You'll also learn about applying evidence-based coaching strategies with behavior change techniques to facilitate meaningful lifestyles, how health and fitness pros can collaborate with colleagues in a wide variety of settings to provide an integrative approach to health, and why Point Loma Nazarene University has created the Kinesiology, M.S., Integrative Wellness, to teach students about using technology that provides lifestyle interventions to prevent and effectively manage chronic disease.

Power Quotes From Ted & Jessica "The iPhone 6 is one million times more powerful than the computer used to put the man on the moon. What I suggest is that we as the fitness industry, the health industry, and the healthcare industry realize this is our moonshot. This is how we can make a difference, and that is by using technology to make a difference in the lives of those that we have the opportunity and the privilege to serve." - Ted Vickey on the Fitness + Technology Podcast "There is certainly a missing piece in our healthcare system, and honestly, a missing piece in the fitness industry. We really have to understand that we work with "whole people," encompassing the body, mind, and spirit. In order to really impact meaningful changes in behavior and improve health outcomes we must understand the dynamics of what it is that motivates people to make these changes and how they can be sustainable. That strategy essentially boils down to our evidence-based practices." - Jessica Matthews on the Fitness + Technology Podcast Resources Mentioned On The Episode PLNU - Online Kinesiology, M.S., Integrative Wellness PLNU - Integrative Wellness on facebook Ted Vickey on Linkedin Jessica Matthews on LinkedIn Ted's "The Wireless Future of Wellness Is Now" TEDx Talk Ted Vickey's Website Jessica Matthew's Website FTP Episode #008 Ted Vickey: How New Technologies Are Changing Our Fitness Landscape UCSD Center For Integrative Medicine International Consortium For Health and Wellness Coaching Moore's Law You Now Have a Shorter Attention Span Than a Goldfish Fitness Industry Leadership Council - ILC Heal App: Interview With Dr. Renee Dua  011 Live From CES 2017: Fitbit Group Health - Amy McDonough Mio Wearables Nokia Wellness Devices Jessica's favorite books: Jon Kabat-Zinn Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Wellness and fitness technology regulations for 2017 Tech disruption in the fitness industry by Amanda Vogel  Thanks To Our Outstanding Sponsors Bryan O’Rourke and his family of companies including Vedere Ventures, Integerus Advisors, and many more.
