This podcast is hosted by edWeb.net.The edLeader Panel recording can be accessed here.According to our nation's students, the value of using technology for learning is clear—when used effectively, it helps them develop the skills they need for future success. Seventy-five percent of high school students report that their number one use of technology in school is taking online tests, an operational classroom practice that neither engages students in learning nor helps them develop workplace skills.Conversely, less than one-third of students say they have regular access to interactive technologies such as virtual labs, multimedia tools, augmented reality, coding resources, and AI tools that foster critical thinking, creativity, and problem solving. Students report that their best use of digital resources for learning happens on their own time, outside of school, most often through their smartphones. Given this reality, what do we need to know to increase the efficacy of classroom learning, especially when using technology?Each year, the Speak Up Research Initiative asks K-12 students, parents, and educators about the role of technology for learning in and out of school. The Congressional Briefing is an annual presentation of Speak Up results to national policymakers. In this year's Speak Up Congressional Briefing, Dr. Julie Evans, CEO of Project Tomorrow, shares the 2023-24 national research findings collected from over 100,000 K-12 students, classroom educators, administrators, and parents and families nationwide about technology use in schools, student engagement, parents' concerns, teacher needs, and even AI policies.Most notably, the Briefing includes a panel of middle and high school students from across the United States, offering their authentic, no-spin views on learning today, and their recommendations for closing the gap between students' aspirations for more effective classroom learning and current instructional practices.The Congressional Briefing is of interest to K-12 school leaders, district leaders, education technology leaders, teachers, librarians, and policymakers.Learn more about viewing live edWeb presentations and on-demand recordings, earning CE certificates, and using accessibility features.

I had a great chat with Dr. Julie Evans about Project Tomorrow and the Speak Up Initiative. A little about Dr. Evans: Dr. Julie A. Evans is the CEO of Project Tomorrow (www.tomorrow.org) and is the founder of the heralded Speak Up Research Project which annually collects and reports on the authentic views of 400,000 K-12 students, parents, and educators on key education issues each year. Dr. Evans serves as the chief researcher on the Speak Up Project as well as leading research efforts on the impact of innovative learning models and interventions in both K-12 and higher education. Over the past 17 years, almost 6 million K-12 students, teachers, and parents have participated in the Speak Up Project representing over 35,000 schools from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and around the world. Dr. Evans is the longest-serving woman executive in the education technology nonprofit sector. As a thought leader and influencer, she brings to new discussions insights from her experiences within the technology industry, entrepreneurship, nonprofit management, and education research. Dr. Evans is a graduate of Brown University and earned her doctorate in educational leadership from the University of California, San Diego, and California State University San Marcos. She serves on several boards and advisory and is a frequent speaker and writer on new learning models within education, most notably around digital learning.

If you ask middle school and high school students these days the most important skills they're learning, they're likely to name something they picked up on their own, outside of normal school hours. That's according to Julie Evans, CEO of the nonprofit Project Tomorrow, who has been studying what she calls "free agent learning" for years—both before and after the pandemic.

Special guest: Diana Graber. Are you concerned with how much screen time your kids are using? What kind of digital reputation they are creating or how their self-esteem in being impacted by certain apps, cyberbullying, sexting or exposure to possible predators? How about clickbait, deep fakes, fake news or the like? There's a lot of information out there and it's here to stay. We can't stick our heads in the sand and simply say, “I wish all of this technology didn't exist” or “I remember when I was young and didn't have to contend with that- can't we just go back?” This is when and where our children live. The cyber world is just “their world.” We need to know how to navigate it and help our children navigate it with confidence, responsibility and knowledge. They need to learn how to become tech savvy and cyberwise. For this discussion, we are going to talk to our friend, Diana Graber, for a second time. There's been a lot since last we talked! Diana is the author of "Raising Humans in a Digital World: Helping Kids Build a Healthy Relationship with Technology"(HarperCollins Leadership '19), co-founder of CyberWise (aka, No Grownup Left Behind!) and founder of Cyber Civics, the popular middle school digital literacy curriculum. Today Cyber Civics is taught in schools in 48 US states and internationally, and it was honored as an "Innovation in Education" finalist by Project Tomorrow and the O.C. Tech Alliance. Graber is a regular contributor on digital media topics for Psychology Today and others, and is regularly interviewed by the media regarding tech topics. She's been an Adjunct Professor of Media Psychology teaching "Media Psychology for the 21st Century" and she presents regularly (virtually since COVID) to schools and community organizations across the US and she also conducts teacher workshops.

This edWeb podcast is sponsored by Project Tomorrow.The edLeader Panel recording can be accessed here.American education has been forever changed by the events of the past two years. Beyond the obvious changes in school formats, there is also a new awareness in our schools and communities about the critical need to address inequities in education. This awareness is driving discussions about the quality of students' learning experiences, their engagement in school, and how well we are preparing all students for future success beyond the classroom. In this year's annual Speak Up Congressional Briefing, we share the latest research findings on student engagement and self-empowerment in learning today, and where opportunities exist to create more equitable learning experiences for all students. Of special note is the focus on how the changes over the past two years have impacted our students and what that means for their future success. The 2021 Speak Up Congressional Briefing is a virtual event again this year enabling participation by a wider audience of K-12 education stakeholders. The research data comes to life with a panel of students from around the country. The student panel includes a 7th grader from Albemarle County Public Schools, VA; an 11th grader from Arrowhead Union High School District, WI; an 11th grader from Buffalo Public Schools, NY; and a 12th grader from San Marcos Unified School District, CA. They respond to the findings and provide their own recommendations for improving American education. This edWeb podcast is of interest to school and district leaders, teachers, librarians, policymakers, and all who are interested in the potential of student ideas to improve education.Project Tomorrow Preparing today's students to be tomorrow's innovators, leaders, and engaged citizens.

New conversations are just starting about how to embrace the silver linings of the past year to transform schools and systems to better meet the needs of all learners. The pandemic state and federal funding, including the recent American Rescue Plan (ARP), provides a unique opportunity to invest in new approaches, learning models, and practices that will support greater equity and community engagement in education. But is there a roadmap to help districts with this process? How should districts develop new visions and strategic plans to effectively leverage these once-in-a-lifetime funds to not only meet today's needs, but plan for a better future? In this edWeb podcast, Dr. Julie A. Evans, CEO of Project Tomorrow, shares new research and recommendations about how district leaders can leverage the lessons learned from the past year to make better investment decisions and create sustainable transformation in your district. Education leaders join Dr. Evans to discuss how they are using community feedback specifically to inform their new forward-looking plans and decisions. With these collective insights, districts can create a highly effective roadmap for making the best decisions with their ARP funding, and industry partners can align their services to support these goals. This edWeb podcast is part of our edFocus series exploring the impact of COVID-19 on the future of education.

This edWeb podcast is sponsored by Project Tomorrow.In this no-spin zone discussion with middle and high students from across the country, we adjust your sight lines with input from the students about their ideas for more effective and engaging learning – and expectations for new learning models post COVID. Julie Evans of Project Tomorrow leads a discussion with students from across the country. In 2015, Project Tomorrow asked students across the nation to predict what learning would look like in 2020.  At that time, a 6th grader from Maryland shared that in their 2020 vison every student would have a mobile device and learn via online classes, educational videos would be a predominant instructional approach, and everyone texted with their teacher.  Per this prophetic student, “Everything will be online and everyone will learn more.”  While this student of course had no way to foresee the pandemic or the resulting sudden shift to digital learning in 2020, we can take away from this prediction that our students have a unique vision for learning that may be ahead of the sight lines of most adults.  Project Tomorrow Preparing today's students to be tomorrow's innovators, leaders, and engaged citizens.

This edWeb podcast is sponsored by ClassLink.Our opening session features a panel of leading educators discussing the impact of COVID-19 on K-12 Education. The panel is moderated by Julie Evans, the CEO of Project Tomorrow, and informed by the research that has been done on the impact of this crisis on educators, student learning, and the education ecosystem. The panel shares their insights on how COVID-19 is influencing a new education transformation in our country. In spring 2020, the landscape of K-12 education was forever shifted by a seismic event that no one could have predicted; a global pandemic that resulted in the closure of school buildings and widespread implementation of remote, at-home learning for over 55 million students in the United States.  For most of those students, school learning took place through a tablet, laptop or Chromebook screen and a virtual connection to classmates and teachers.  Like an earthquake, this unforeseen jolt to the education enterprise resulted in a dramatic and immediate change to the everyday teaching and learning process for students and teachers, for families and schools. While this sudden shift to digital learning created many new challenges for K-12 schools, it also has resulted in a new awakening regarding the future of education.ClassLink ClassLink's mission is to remove barriers between students and impactful education content.

After the high of Goldeneye, The Bond Daft crew return for Brosnan's second outing as Fleming's OO agent in Tomorrow Never Dies. Released in 1997 after a troubled production, the film continued the box office success for the franchise although never quite matched the critical success as Martin Campbell's film. In this episode we delve deep into spoiler territory as we discuss the film's barmy media-tycoon-starting-WW3 plot, fantastic action scenes and plentiful one-liners. Enjoy!

Not so long ago, students did most of their learning at school, and maybe while doing homework or during trips to the museum. Now, learning—like the internet—is everywhere thanks to the ubiquity of smartphones and chromebooks. Julie Evans, the CEO of education nonprofit Project Tomorrow, spends a lot of time measuring how young people learn and interact with others. As it turns out, what students say they want from their school experience, or about learning in general, can be rather illuminating for those charged with teaching them.

Julie Evans is the CEO of Project Tomorrow (www.tomorrow.org), an internationally recognized education nonprofit organization that focuses on improving learning opportunities for student through the effective use of STEM resources.  Listen in on the conversation with Julie and Jill Abbott as they discuss all things about student, teacher, administrator, and parent data over the past 15 years. They chat about screen time, use of data in strategic planning, Ten Things Everything Should Know about K-12 Students’ Digital Learning VR, and teacher readiness to adopt and adapt digital content for classroom use.  

Is the younger generation running digital circles around you? Thanks to our expert guests our listeners are familiar with many guidelines for parents, educators, and adults in general, who are confronting the challenges of the digital age. This episode goes one step farther, because Diana Graber of Cyberwise.org has provided mini courses designed to teach you what research has shown to be the six most important Digital Life Skills. Ms. Graber earned an M.A. in Media Psychology and Social Change, making her an ideal guest for The Social Network Show. She and Dr. J discuss the importance of getting research findings into the hands of the public. When researchers write primarily for other researchers, too often even the most useful information can become cloaked in jargon with which the general reader is unfamiliar. Diana has translated and organized valuable information in bite-sized chunks as certificate modules available at the very affordable price of $8.99. (cyberwisecert.com) In fact, your first course is completely free. Schools can subscribe to Cyber Civics™ [http://www.cyberwise.org/#!get-the-cyber-civics-program/c10pf ], years 1 and 2, to provide curriculum in digital literacy training to middle school educators. Asking children to show you how to use the social apps they are fans of is a great way not only to learn the ropes, but also to establish the custom of being where your kids are, before they reach the teen years when they are may not be so eager to communicate. Diana observes that the frontal lobe, source of judgment, may not completely develop until the age of 25! She notes other developmental milestones that will help you appreciate the opportunity, as well as the challenge, information technology presents. Diana emphasizes that behavior is far more important that the particular digital tool-du-jour. Although new tools appear almost daily, behavioral principles are evergreen, carrying over from one app to the next! Diana Graber has long been a producer and marketer of media — including film, video, television, print, and live sports events. Together with her husband, she co-owns Graber Productions, an Emmy-award winning (8 times!) film and video production company.  In addition to producing the content for CyberWise, No Grownup Left Behind!, Diana is recognized as an expert in “digital literacy.” As Adjunct Faculty of the Media Psychology M.A. program at the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology (MSPP), she taught “Media Psychology for the 21st Century.” She also developed and teaches a middle-school media literacy program called Cyber Civics™. A regular contributor to The Huffington Post and many other publications, she is tapped often by the media (TV/radio) to comment on tech topics. She has a B.A. in Communications Studies from UCLA, an M.A. in Media Psychology & Social Change from Fielding Graduate University/UCLA and was a finalist for the NAMLE Research Emerging Scholar Award for her paper,  New Media Literacy Education.
