We're tackling one of the biggest challenges educators face today: keeping students engaged in a world full of distractions. AJ Juliani joins me to explore how to create meaningful and relevant learning experiences that resonate with today's learners, even in the age of TikTok, smartphones, and endless notifications. He's an educator, author, and speaker who serves as an instructor for the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education (PLN). AJ has worked towards innovative learning experiences as the Director of Learning and Innovation for Centennial School District, as Curriculum Coordinator, as Tech Director, English teacher, football coach, and K-12 Instructional Coach. His favorite role is being dad to five kids. You might know AJ from his books Adaptable, Empower, Launch, or The PBL Playbook. Here's what you'll learn: Why simply removing phones or distractions won't solve the engagement problem. How to balance direct instruction with collaborative, student-centered learning. Why meaningful, relevant tasks are more effective than “rigorous” assignments for long-term learning. The “traffic light” system for integrating technology and AI into classroom activities. How to help students develop focus, self-regulation, and intrinsic motivation. Strategies for using choice and ownership to foster deeper learning experiences. The surprising truths about rigor, assessment, and knowledge transfer. How to create performance tasks that build real-world skills and make learning stick. Why human connection and relationships are more vital than ever in education. Practical advice for building long-term habits of engagement that go beyond quick fixes. AJ also shares insights from his latest book and offers actionable strategies for educators who want to make their teaching meaningful and impactful in a rapidly changing world.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year from Josh, Chris, and Mark! This is a re-release of Episode 31. It is an interview with Denzel. Denzel is the Tech Director at a school that was hit with ransomware. He shares details of the attack, from waking up and realizing over his morning coffee that they had major issues, to the day he realized the "bad guys" posted data they harvested online. His story drives home a few major points including the one we all know... the best prepared department can fall victim.
Episode Summary: In this Aerospace Advantage episode, Heather “Lucky” Penney continues the electronic attack conversation with Dave Harrold and Duane Beaulieu of BAE, plus Mitchell Institute's Mike Dahm. Electronic Attack is an essential twenty-first century mission capability. The ability to disrupt enemy command, control, communications, radars, and navigation systems allows U.S. forces to maintain a decision advantage, while denying one to the adversary. It all comes down to maintaining a leading electromagnetic-based battlespace capability. The Compass Call system, currently hosted on the EC-130H, executes this mission. It will soon migrate to the EA-37B. We explore this transition by discussing where the mission has been and where it's going from a technical perspective. We also explain what it means to secure an electronic attack advantage in the modern era and why this is imperative. Learn more about this crucial mission from the experts developing the essential technology.

Today on the show, we welcome our friend David Olshine. David is the Lead professor of Youth Ministry, Family and Culture Department at Columbia International University. He has a brand new book out called The Mystery of Silence and we're going to talk today about the times when you feel like God is completely distant, silent or not giving you answers. How do we wrestle with that in ministry? Ministry Leaders struggle with this stuff. Making Sunday Happen is not just about what button to push or what fader to move. Its about how we do ministry. How can we hear and be close with God so that we can pastor our people well. If you're a Tech Director, you're a pastor of people. Don't forget that. The Mystery of Silence with David Olshine.
