SUMMARY:Leveraging Technology Tools to Provide Equitable Learning Opportunities for ALL Students
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, January 9\, 2023 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm EST\n\n\n\n\nPresented by Dr. Baron R. Davis\, Superintendent\, Richland School District Two (SC); Dr. Susan Enfield\, Superintendent\, Washoe County School District (NV); and Ms. Cynthia Curry\, Director of Technical Assistance\, CAST\nModerated by Ann McMullan\, Project Director\, CoSN (Consortium for School Networking) EmpowerED Superintendents Initiative \nSponsored by ClassLink\nThis edLeader Panel series is co-hosted by CoSN\, AASA\, and edWeb.net \nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. This program may qualify for CoSN CETL® Recertification. \nTechnology plays a critical role when it comes to school districts assuring that equitable learning opportunities are accessible for ALL students\, especially those with disabilities\, learning differences\, and English language learners\, as well as students from lower socio-economic communities. In addition to making certain that all students have access to their needed course content and tools\, school leaders need to ensure that the information they provide to the public\, parents\, guardians\, and staff is readily accessible on any technology device. The needs inherent in guaranteeing accessibility for all go beyond meeting the legal requirements defined in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The accessibility policies and practices school leaders implement must be consistently vocal and visible to all within the communities they serve. \nIn this edLeader Panel\, two leading-edge superintendents join with the director of technical assistance at CAST (originally known as the Center for Applied Special Technology) in an interactive discussion around the strategies used to successfully lead accessibility for all. Training procedures for providing teachers and staff with the skills to effectively leverage technology to assist students\, parents\, guardians\, and staff will be reviewed. \nThis edLeader Panel is of particular value to superintendents\, K-12 school and district leaders\, and aspiring school leaders. Attendees will have the opportunity to submit questions to the panelists during the live broadcast. \nAbout the Presenters \nDr. Baron R. Davis is Superintendent of Richland School District Two in Columbia\, South Carolina. He is the first Black superintendent in the district’s 96-year history.

SUMMARY:Education meets the universe: The promise and the worry (Free Member Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Education meets the universe: The promise and the worry (Free Member Webinar)\nFormerly titled: Metaverse \nBrought to you by CoSN’s Emerging Technologies Committee. \nJanuary 19th\, 2023 1:00-2:00 PM ET \n\nEveryone is talking about the metaverse. Its diverse applications include gaming\, real estate and entertainment among others. Few are addressing how this relatively new technology might impact education for good or for bad. The metaverse can bring us to new worlds that would rarely or never be personally explored – from ancient Greece\, to underwater adventures\, to outer space. But crafting these experiences in ways that are educationally sound requires intentionality and inclusion of the latest science on how and what children need to learn. This talk brings the science together with the technology to offer a framework for educational sound development of the metaverse. \n*Everyone who registers for the event will receive a link to the recording. \nKathy Hirsh-Pasek\, Ph.D. \nKathy Hirsh-Pasek\, a Professor of Psychology at Temple University and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution was declared a “scientific entrepreneur\,” from the American Association of Psychology. Writing 16 books and 250+ publications\, she served as President of the International Congress for Infant Studies and was on the Governing Board of the Society for Research in Child Development and is on the board of Zero to Three. Her Einstein Never Used Flashcards won the Book for a Better Life Award in 2003 with her Becoming Brilliant (2016) reaching the NYTimes Best Sellers List in education. Her newest book Making Schools Work came out in November of 2022. Hirsh-Pasek won awards from every psychological and educational society for her basic science and translational work designed to bridge basic science and educational impact. A founding member of the Latin American School for Educational and Cognitive Neuroscience\, she spearheaded a global network of scientists devoted to educational science. Co-founder of the global Learning Science Exchange Fellowship\, she brings together scientists\, journalists\, policy makers and entertainers\, to put learning science in the hands of educators. In 2021\, she was elected as a member of the National Academy of Education. Her initiative Playful Learning Landscapes re-imagines cities and public squares as places with science infused designs that enhance academic and social opportunities. Hirsh-Pasek frequently comments for the press (e.g. NPR\, NYT) and blogs for the Brookings Institution. \nEdward McKaveney\, Ed.D.\, CETL  \nHaving worked with education/information technologies\, media and security in higher education and K-12 for more than 25-years\, I have been continuously focused on the advancement of student learning\, faculty development and operational success through the innovative use of technologies. As a former educational computing consultant and manager of media services at Duquesne University\, I have worked as Technology Director for the award-winning Hampton Township School District since 2004\, where I lead the technology team in support of the District’s primary mission\, which is to work collaboratively with the community in support of every child becoming creative and innovative problem-solvers and communicators. In addition to my Technology Director role\, I have been fortunate to participate in several CoSN International delegations\, where I have had the opportunity to visit schools and engage education leaders from around the world in high level discussions exploring innovative teaching and learning as the organization looks at global leadership\, policies and practices in combination with the strategic use of Information Communication Technologies in education. In addition to volunteering with the Pittsburgh Infragard chapter and FBI Pittsburgh Citizens Academy Alumni Association\, I am a national CoSN CETL course facilitator and serve on the CoSN Cybersecurity committee and Driving K-12 Innovation advisory board. I have been fortunate to receive recognitions for our team’s innovative work\, which include 2019 National CoSN Team Leadership Award\, 2013 National CoSN Withrow CTO of the Year\, 2013 PAECT Outstanding Leader of the Year (Pennsylvania’s ISTE award)\, 2012 Pittsburgh FBI/Infragard Champion of Change\, and a 2015/2017 Finalist for the Pittsburgh Technology Council Education sector CIO of the Year. A PA Certified Instructional Technology Specialist and CoSN Certified Educational Technology Leader (CETL)\, I have a B.S. in Biology\, M.S. in Multimedia Technology\, and a doctorate in Educational Leadership and Management where my organizational change research investigated the effect of implementing instructional coaching with digital learning on high school math and science. \nParticipants who attend our webinars live earn 1 CoSN CEA Credit toward CETL® recertification.
