interactive learning

Welcome to another episode of Insights with NetSupport! 

The Insights series aims to provide an interesting and relevant topic, and a special guest who can shine some expert knowledge onto the subject so we can all learn something new!

In this episode, we were delighted to welcome the Managing Director of ClickView UK, Michael Wilkinson.

With a career in education and EdTech spanning many decades, starting with work in Community Learning Centres (CLCs) exploring effective technology use to support and enhance teaching and learning, entrepreneurial work creating his own EdTech company, and subsequent roles working with EdTech companies, Michael has an enviable amount of knowledge and insight into the education and EdTech space.

In this episode, we explored the many ways video can be used in education with a specific focus on areas such as:

·         safeguarding young people when using video

·         ways in which subtitles can improve literacy

·         research into effective approaches with the use of video...

…among many others. 

Video is a media which is continues to engage young people and, in our conversation, we dig deep into how teachers can use it effectively whilst helping reduce workload, time spent finding the right video, plus how this can be done safely. 

We are also proud to share that ClickView is now a connector in our multi-award-winning classroom management and safeguarding tool, classroom.cloud.

To connect with Michael, you can find him on LinkedIn and on Twitter.

In this podcast episode, Shamyl, co-founder of LearnOBots, shares his journey of starting an edtech company aimed at making learning more engaging through technology. He discusses the challenges they faced in convincing schools to adopt their model and how they overcame these by conducting their own workshops and utilizing social media. Shamyl also talks about the company's evolution from a hardware-oriented model to a scalable software-as-a-service model. He highlights the importance of having advisors and maintaining a work-life balance. The episode concludes with Shamyl discussing LearnOBots future expansion and emphasizing the importance of passion in entrepreneurship.

कभी सोचा है 'लंडन ब्रिज' कविता के पीछे क्या कहानी है? बेशक यह सवाल हम सभी के मन में कभी ना कभी तो आया होगा। हमारी शुरुआती शिक्षा का काफ़ी बड़ा हिस्सा पश्चिमी संस्कृति से प्रभावित है, जिसके कारण यह कविताएँ हमारे लिए थोड़ा कम संबंधित हो सकती है। कुटुकी जैसे ऐप्स बच्चों की शिक्षा में क्षेत्रीय सामग्री को शामिल करके इस समस्या का समाधान करने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं। सुनिए कैसे ऋषि वाल्मीकि इको स्कूल के शिक्षक पढ़ाई को सरल बनाने और सुधारने के लिए भारतीय संदर्भ से उद्धारणों को एकत्र करते हैं।

Ever pondered the meaning behind the rhyme 'London Bridge is Falling Down'? It's a question that has likely crossed the minds of many Indians. Much of our early education content has been influenced by the west, making it somewhat less relatable for us. However, homegrown apps like Kutuki are revolutionizing this by emphasizing the importance of aiding children's learning with locally relevant content. Listen to the insights of teachers from Rishi Valmiki Eco School as they share how integrating Indian references and context into the learning process simplifies and enhances education.

This podcast is also available in Tamil and Hindi.

In this episode, we offer up three independent segments. Matt Richter is joined first by Nidhi Sachdeva. Nidhi is both an evidence-based learning designer and a researcher. She just completed her PhD in the spring, and the two talk about the differences between learning and performance. Then, Guy Wallace is in the house. Guy needs no introduction, having been a performance analyst and instructional architect for a few decades now. We talk about his latest book, The L&D Pivot Point, published by LDA Press. Finally, in our third segment, the inimitable Thiagi joins Matt for a new series we will intermittently run called “A Person of Interest.” Thiagi shares his biography… his story with us.

Episode Introduction
 

Welcome to another riveting episode of The Mentor Project Podcast, hosted by Dr. Susan Birne-Stone and Marco Ciappelli. In today's conversation, we invite you to journey with us into the enchanting world of storytelling as we engage with our guest, Marilyn Price, a master puppeteer and storyteller based in Evanston, Illinois.

For over half a century, Marilyn has been breathing life into inanimate objects, crafting magical stories that resonate across generations. Her journey began in an unexpected way, when a dear friend needed an extra pair of hands - literally - to help her puppetry. With no prior training, Marilyn stepped into this fascinating world, her journey marked by a unique blend of art history, painting, and sculpture.

In this episode, Marilyn speaks passionately about the intimate connection between storytelling and human relationships, cultures, and societies. Akin to the radio broadcasts she so loves, her work invites listeners to engage their imagination, to see beyond the obvious, and to truly listen. She shares her experiences during the pandemic, when she transformed her son's former bedroom into a broadcasting studio, and how she embraced the challenges of a new medium, creating characters and stories that enthralled audiences around the world.

Together with the Mentor Project, Marilyn has been offering invaluable artistic and creative support to those affected by the global health crisis. This experience, she shares, was as fulfilling for her as it was for the beneficiaries, serving as a much-needed creative outlet during the lockdown.

Our hosts, Dr. Susan and Marco, delve into the incredible impact of Marilyn's work, not just on the children who engage with her stories, but also on the adults who keep the kids grounded. They explore how Marilyn's storytelling adapts to the digital age without losing its essence, and how she uses everyday objects to tell classic stories, making her work accessible to all.

So, sit back, relax, and join us as we step into the magical realm of storytelling. Listen, share this conversation, and don't forget to subscribe to The Mentor Project Podcast for more inspiring conversations. Let Marilyn's captivating stories remind you of the enchanting power of storytelling, a skill as old as humanity itself, and still as vital in our digital age as it was around ancient fireplaces.

Brian talks with Ben Hall (@Ben_Hall, Founder of Ocelot Uproar, creator of @TeamKatacoda) about the evolution of helping developers learn new Cloud-native technology skills, and how Katacoda is making that an online, browser-only reality.

Show Notes

• Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Let’s talk a little bit about your background in founding Ocelot Uproar, and how Katacoda got started.
• Topic 2 - Katacoda is similar to a concept that I had a while ago, I called it Cloud Garage Labs, and I’m really glad Katacoda exists now. Tell us about all of the technologies that engineers can interact with today?
• Topic 3 - Let’s walk through the user's experience. Beyond the browser and reading the interactive tutorial, what does a user have to do?
• Topic 4 - Some of the topics are vendor-specific (e.g. Weave, OpenShift, etc.), but many are more generic. Who is creating them, maintaining them, and how do you choose to add new things? Are there costs to adding new topics?
• Topic 5 - What is some of the backend technology that you’ve built in order for all these topics to be hosted and delivered in just a browser-based experience?
• Topic 6 - Where do you want to see Katacoda expand to over the next couple years?
