Vanquish the Myth of The Digital Native Learner: What Every Educator Needs to Know About Teaching and Learning with Technology! In this 208th episode of The Wired Educator Podcast I share what every educator needs to know about teaching and learning with technology. Click here to listen to this episode. In this episode Kelly presents solutions to many of the challenges and obstacles teachers and school districts face when implementing good instructional practice with technology. Our problems are never really about funding, the number of devices, the WiFi, professional learning, nor the devices themselves, but rather the correct mindset, culture and practice needed. This episode addresses the following questions: What do we do to counter and correct the myth that students know how to use technology to learn? What kind of environment do we need to create in our classrooms about learning with technology? What should the culture of our schools be with technology? What should we really be teaching students do with technology? How should we approach professional learning? What can a school learn from a hospital about the use of technology? What is permanent beta and why should I embrace it as my teaching philosophy? And more! You are going to love this episode. Be sure to leave a review and share it out.

Personal Leadership an interview with President Jim Tressel. This is the Wired Educator Podcast, Episode 205 "Personal Leadership" an Interview with President Jim Tressel. Jim Tressel is one of my all-time heroes. I admire him for his faith, his character, his success on the football field as a coach, and as an academic leader as President of Youngstown State University. In this episode we focus primarily on academics. (I snuck in a couple football questions. They're good ones.) I really want to focus on what is it what it takes to be a great educational leader, especially a college president, how can we help students better prepare for college, his advice to teachers, students and administrators as we head back to school, and of course how we can each become better leaders. Jim's character and Integrity shines through as always. I love this interview. You will too.

Wendell Potter is a whistleblower and reformed insurance propagandist. For fifteen years, Wendell worked for Cigna, where he lead the company's corporate communications team and served as chief corporate spokesperson. He also represented Cigna on several industry committees and task forces, including the strategic communications committee at the industry's largest PR and lobbying group, America's Health Insurance Plans. After seeing firsthand how strategic PR and lobbying is used unfairly to tilt the scales toward corporate interests against the people's interests, Wendell left his corporate career to advocate for meaningful health care reform. He made headlines in 2009 when he disclosed in Congressional testimony how insurance companies, as part of their efforts to boost profits, have contributed to spiraling health care costs and the growing number of Americans without health insurance. He also revealed how insurance companies use their customers' premiums to wage multi-million dollar PR and lobbying campaigns to influence public opinion and public policy.

Paid traffic is a great investment if you're looking to build awareness, reach new people, and make some sales… but people often make a critical mistake when they start to invest in paid traffic. Without a coordinated investment in content, you risk not making an impact on the vast majority of people your ad is served to. We're not machines – we do our due diligence and need social proof before we do anything an ad tells us to. So, in this episode of the podcast, I'm exploring why people so often get the balance wrong when investing in their paid traffic and content, why it's important to get it right, and share ways you can correct this classic mistake! Find out about: What I mean by “paid traffic” (its benefits and its limits) Why businesses risk wasting their money if they take the wrong approach with paid traffic How investing in content at the same time as paid traffic can deliver better results Important Links & Mentions https://www.content10x.com/linkedin10x (LinkedIn 10x) https://www.content10x.com/146 (What Everyone Needs to Know About LinkedIn Ads with AJ Wilcox) To watch the video, or read the blog post, https://www.content10x.com/the-problem-with-investing-in-paid-traffic/ (click here).

In this episode of the Wired Educator Podcast I read my eBook What Everyone Needs to Know About Bullying and make it an audible book, and more! I wanted this to be available so students, parents, educators and anyone could listen to it on the bus, in the car, at lunch, on a walk, workout, or doing chores with their headphones on.

Every month should be 'Bullying Awareness Month', and I wanted to create a free audio recording of my popular ebook resource for educators, parents and students to help out when a bully steps into someone's life, What Everyone Needs to Know About Bullying. So... that's what I did! This episode of the Wired Educator Podcast is me reading my eBook.

In this episode of The Wired Educator Podcast, I interview Apple Distinguished Educator and ELA innovator, Anthony Stirpe. Anthony has been recognized for transforming English classes by inspiring student creation of innovative and authentic content. I am excited to share Anthony's story, passion and his amazing work with students. During his career, Anthony Stirpe has been acknowledged as an innovator and pioneer in the area of English Language Arts. With more than 15 years of experience as a public-school teacher, he has been recognized by local, state, national and international organizations for his ongoing endeavors to revolutionize the traditional ELA experience. While at New Rochelle High School he spearheaded an initiative that uses mobile devices to challenge the way that students learn. The program Stirpe helped to create has challenged the traditional English Language Learner classroom experience, and transformed the way students create original written content, analyze literature, and explore the power of the personal narrative. Stirpe received the 2016 Content and Curriculum Award from the International Society for Education in Technology (ISTE), the 2017 New York State English Program of Excellence by the New York State English Council, and in 2017 he was named an Apple Distinguished Educator. His work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The Huffington Post, New York WPIX News, CPU Magazine and US News and World Report. Anthony loves PBL, project management, and busting the 1:1 myth by doing amazing things with just a handful of devices in a single classroom.

What Everyone Needs to Know About Money but is Afraid to Ask: In this episode of The Future Focused Podcast I tackle a topic many are uncomfortable discussing, money. There are so many misconceptions and misunderstandings about money. Money is one of the areas in our life that we have the most control over, but do so little about. Why? Because most people are either afraid to ask questions in fear of looking dumb, or pretend they have it all figured out. I am clearly not a millionaire, nor am I a financial advisor, but I have learned quite a bit that has brought me success and helped me to avoid some real dangers. Listen, this is a topic where we all need to learn from each other. I provide over a dozen tips to help you improve yourself financially. These are steps I have taken and had success with in my life. I know if applied they will bring you similar results. There are things you can be doing, that are very simple, that will give you an incredible edge in life. No one is telling you to do these things, or you don't know how to start. Listen to this podcast. Being financially fit is an area everyone needs to work on. I hope you enjoy this episode.

My guest on the podcast today is Dr James Hannam. James writes about the politics and policy decisions behind tax and economics. He’s particularly interested in the reasons the UK tax system works the way it does and the possible consequences of Brexit. He's the author of the new book What Everyone Needs to Know about Tax. His book takes an entertaining and informative look at the UK tax system in all its glory to show you just how much you pay, how the money is collected and how it affects ordinary people every day. Giving context to recent controversies including the Panama Papers, tax avoidance by multinationals, Brexit and more, this book provides a straightforward explanation of tax and the policy behind it for non-specialists — no accounting or legal knowledge is required. James has been a tax accountant for 20 years and currently works for a ‘Big 4’ accountancy firm in London. In addition to his tax writing and consultancy, James is also the author of God’s Philosophers: How the Medieval World Laid the Foundations of Modern Science, which was shortlisted for the Royal Society Science Book Prize. In this episode of Informed Choice Radio, I speak to James about whether taxpayers tend to focus on particular types of taxes, if the wealthy have a different set of rules when it comes to taxation, the golden rules of tax we all need to know about, how the government could reduce levels of tax avoidance, and much more. Welcome to What Everyone Needs To Know About Tax with Dr James Hannam, in episode 193 of Informed Choice Radio. Some questions I ask: -Do you think that as tax payers we tend to focus on one type of tax more than the other? -You mentioned about a third of national income goes to taxes, is this really a case of tax payers taking the time to understand each time they make a payment or each time they receive an income what amount is going away to taxation? -Do you think the perception the wealth pay less tax is justified and is there really one set of rules for them and another for the rest of us? -How much of an issue do you think tax avoidance has become and is that the result of the complexity of the UK tax code or is it because people with larger estates and more wealth simply have more motivation to structure their affairs to avoid tax? -What do you think the best approach for the government would be to reduce tax avoidance? -Will we eventually see a single structure of tax for each different type of employment? -Can you tell our listeners about your three golden rules and why they're so important for tax payers to understand? -Do you have a favourite tax and do you have a least favourite type of tax? -Are there any taxes from history that are particularly interesting?
