Pew survey highlights need for K-12, university partnerships in STEM promotion

by Shalina Chatlani, Education Dive
Half of American adults believe students don’t pursue STEM degrees because the field is too difficult, according to the results of a Pew Research Center survey.  Pew reports only about a third of workers over the age of 25 have an undergraduate degree in a STEM field; but while only 13% of the U.S. workforce was employed in a STEM job in 2016, 40% of non-STEM workers said they were interested in the field at some point. When asked why they didn’t pursue a STEM career or degree, 27% of respondents said they thought it was too costly and time-intensive to pursue, while only 14% said it had to do with classes being too difficult — statistics that reflect how lack of opportunities of promotion at the K-12 level may be a greater barrier to STEM participation in college and career.

If you really want to design useful edtech, start with the students

by Matthew Lynch, Tech Edvocate

All instruction begins with students. Educators call this student-centered learning, and if you’re going to design a useful edtech product, you’ll start with students, too. This design approach isn’t too different from a business model in which you create a product that provides solutions for consumer problems. Begin at the grassroots level. Designing useful edtech is a lot less about creating what you like than it is about providing what students need. They need human-centered design, which is an approach that begins with people.

How to engage digitally distracted students #edtech

by Matthew Lynch, Tech Edvocate

Students today are more distracted than ever before. Why is this happening? To explain it simply, they are immersed in their digital devices. In the classroom, this becomes an even larger problem. A recent Pew Research Study found, “87% say these technologies are creating an ‘easily distracted generation with short attention spans’ and 64% say today’s digital technologies ‘do more to distract students than to help them academically.’” While it is clear that digital technology is distracting students, the technology is here to stay. For example, while most teachers agree the best way to turn digital distraction is to not allow mobile devices in the classroom, these same teachers agree this is ineffective in the long run. Instead, educators must be proactive and teach proper digital device usage in the classroom. Therefore, teachers must find ways to engage digitally distracted students.

Why Aren’t College Students Using Career Services?

by Lolade Fadulu, the Atlantic

Gallup and Strada reached out to students currently enrolled across 43 randomly selected colleges and universities, both public and private. The survey found that, after creating or updating a resume, students tend to use some of career centers’ least beneficial services—taking a skills test, for example—more than they do the more beneficial ones. Fewer than 20 percent of undergraduate students reach out to their school’s career centers for advice on finding jobs or finding and applying to graduate programs, both of which the recent report identifies as some of a center’s most valuable services. Often, students instead consult with friends and family members about important decisions that can determine employment, such as choosing a major.

Education technology is a global opportunity

by Emmanuel Nataf, Tech Crunch

$8.15 billion. That’s the amount global investors staked in edtech companies in the first 10 months of 2017. Education used to be simple: there was a blackboard, a teacher and desks in a classroom. Today, a student can practice English online, upload homework through a portal and learn chemistry through 3D immersion — such is the rise of educational technologies. And nowhere is the advent of edtech climbing more quickly than in Asia.

21st Century Community Learning Center programs help students succeed

By Briana Barker, Record-Courier

About 600 students from Ravenna and Windham schools have been helped by a comprehensive after-school program. The 21st Century Community Learning Center program provides opportunities for children who come from economically disadvantaged families and attend low-performing schools to receive academic supports.  Ravenna partnered with the Community Action Council in 2013 to offer the free after-school program, which provides academic assistance, college preparedness and youth development activities to middle school and high school students. The program is open to students in grades six through 12. Windham schools also launched a three-year program beginning in 2016.

3 Things You May Not Know About Online MBAs

By Stacy Blackman, US News

Prospective students may not realize that many online MBA programs offer scholarships and financial assistance.   According to the Graduate Management Admission Council’s Application Trends Survey Report, 47 percent of online MBA programs reported application growth in 2017. But some stereotypes persist regarding the kind of experience you’ll receive compared with a traditional MBA format. The good news for prospective online MBA applicants – particularly women, whose interest in this format option has outpaced men in recent years – is that a number of these programs deliver an evermore competitive educational experience.

Online Courses Are Harming the Students Who Need the Most Help

By SUSAN DYNARSKI, NY Times

A single teacher can reach thousands of students in an online course, opening up a world of knowledge to anyone with an internet connection. This limitless reach also offers substantial benefits for school districts that need to save money, by reducing the number of teachers. But in high schools and colleges, there is mounting evidence that the growth of online education is hurting a critical group: the less proficient students who are precisely those most in need of skilled classroom teachers. Online courses can be broken down into several categories, and some are more effective than others.

8 Must have classroom presentation apps and tools

by Matthew Lynch, Tech Edvocate

It’s important for teachers to master the art of presenting engaging lectures that keep kids interested in the material as the weeks wear on. However, it’s equally important for students to master the same trade. As kids progress through school, higher education and, eventually, their professional lives, they’ll need tools besides PowerPoint to effectively pitch ideas and communicate dense material to seminars of bored classmates. We’re breaking down 8 must-have presentation apps to help both teachers and students find their inner aesthetic and create drool-proof, prize-winning presentations.

More Battle Creek-area students are earning college credits in high school

by Noe Hernandez, Battle Creek Enquirer

Makenna Fredenburg has already saved around $10,000 in college tuition costs, and she hasn’t even graduated from high school. She’ll probably save at least as much before the end of this school year. The Harper Creek High School senior is one of more than 1,200 area high school students taking advantage of Kellogg Community College’s dual enrollment and early college programs. The programs allow high school students to enroll in on-campus and online classes — sometimes enough to graduate from KCC with an associate’s degree — at no cost to them while they’re still in high school.

What Is the Role of Online Program Management?

By Henry Kronk, eLearning Inside

When a professor wishes to take their course online, it requires more than just uploading their lecture powerpoints to a learning management system. They’re going to want to consult with professionals when recording the video and audio of their lectures. They’ll need an IT guy to make sure that the university’s servers or cloud storage has the capacity for the number of users. With fully online programs, they’ll need programmers to actually design the student experience, the semester, monthly, or weekly schedule, and much more. Increasingly, universities contract this job out to third parties, as they do with student cafeterias, health services, and campus bookstores. These companies are known as online program management providers.

How brands can maintain a successful Facebook strategy after the algorithm change

by Tereza Litsa, ClickZ

On Thursday (Jan 11, 2018) Facebook announced the decision to prioritize the content from family and friends over Pages.   According to Mark Zuckerberg, “As we roll this out, you’ll see less public content like posts from businesses, brands, and media. And the public content you see more will be held to the same standard — it should encourage meaningful interactions between people.” What’s the best way to make sure that your Facebook marketing strategy will still be successful after Facebook’s algorithm change? All about the engagement: Facebook made it very clear that engagement will be a crucial factor that will determine whether your Page’s content deserves to show up on your audience’s news feed.

LSU sets ambitious online education goal for flagship campus

by DAVID JACOBS, Baton Rouge Business Report

Sasha Thackaberry, associate vice provost for online and distance education, is being asked to replicate the SNHU success at LSU’s flagship campus, which had fewer than 800 online students enrolled in the fall of 2017—most of whom were pursuing master’s degrees in social work or business. More than 30,000 students attend classes at LSU’s Baton Rouge campus and Provost Richard Koubek wants to have just as many online students by 2025. You’re not going to get there incrementally,” Koubek says. “You have to change the paradigm.” LSU’s ambitious goal isn’t necessarily unrealistic, says Jennifer Mathes, director of strategic partnerships with the Online Learning Consortium, though without knowing LSU’s strategy she can’t comment on the odds for success.

Cloud computing: Why a major cyber-attack could be as costly as a hurricane

By Danny Palmer, ZD Net

The economic costs of a large cyber-attack could be as large as the impact of a major natural disaster.  “To compare the degree of economic cost, estimates now are that if attackers took down a major cloud provider, the damages could be $50bn to $120bn, so something in the range of a Sandy event to a Katrina event,” said John Drzik, president of global risk and digital at insurance broking and risk management company Marsh, speaking at the launch of the World Economic Forum.

Pearson shares drop on gloomy outlook for US college textbook market

by Alys Key, City AM

Publishing group Pearson was among the companies leading a fall in the FTSE 100 this morning, after it issued a trading statement. While the firm said its profits would reach the top end of guidance at as much as £606m, it revealed it was still grappling with the US textbook sector. Sales in the unit dropped three per cent in the nine months to the end of 2017. This contributed to a four per cent decline in North American and the overall two per cent drop in underlying revenues. The group only expects the US higher education market to get tougher, due to “lower college enrolments, increased use of Open Educational Resources and attrition from growth in the secondary market driven by print rental”.

The power and promise of game-based learning

by Matthew Lynch, tech Edvocate

From young learners to adults, games can be used to increase learning. Games have been used by teachers for centuries, and probably thousands of years as a way to engage students in learning. Who doesn’t like games? Perhaps a few people don’t like games. However, games are an excellent way to capture the attention of your students and encourage learning. Why are games beneficial in the learning process, and why do we love them?

After a big fundraise and subsequent reorganization last year at Coursera — which saw a change of CEO, as well as the departure of its COO, CFO, CMO and CPO (along with some 40 others) — the online education startup is today launching a new IT course with Google to underscore its message that the ship is still sailing as it passes 30 million users and 2,500 courses. Today, the pair announced a new program to train IT support professionals — a course written by Googlers for the Coursera platform to teach and then test across six fundamental areas of customer support: troubleshooting and customer service, networking, operating systems, system administration, automation, and security. No prior IT experience is necessary.

Setting up an online learning program can be especially challenging for those of us living in rural areas. When implementing online learning with The Virtual High School 11 years ago, we knew that we wanted to be able to offer students a broader portfolio of educational opportunities (outside of our planned curriculum) while giving them voice and choice in their own learning. The program let our students take classes in a low-stakes environment and explore an entirely new world outside of Sutton, Massachusetts.

For those of you that have never taken an online course before, it may seem as if it’s going to be a time saver or “blow off,” so to speak. However, this is an entirely inaccurate assumption. In fact, online courses can often require more time and effort on your part than a traditional course in a classroom setting. For this reason, it’s imperative that you consider your options and make educated decisions when it comes to your online course schedule. With that in mind, here are some tips so you’re aware of when you should take online courses at school.

With winter in full force, Indiana’s e-learning days come in handy

By Patience Wait, EdScoop

As the winter of 2017-18 continues to bring heavy snows and unusually cold weather, e-learning programs provide a way for schools to continue meeting their students’ educational needs. The state of Indiana, for example, currently has about 170 public and private school districts approved for e-learning days. “In the old days, school was just canceled,” said Holly Stachler, director of communications for the Indiana Department of Education. “But now, there may be no school on campus, but it’s [still] an e-learning day.” The option to provide internet-based instruction has been available to Hoosier schools for six years. Stachler said the formal program was initiated in the 2013-14 school year.

3 Starters for Digital Leadership in Higher Ed

By Dian Schaffhauser, Campus Technology

United States higher education is struggling to move into the 21st century digital era, according to Dr. Samuel Conn, president and chief executive officer for nonprofit technology consortium NJEdge. Holding back the segment, he said, are legacy processes and “last-century” thinking, which can no longer meet the demands of students who are more digitally savvy than their instructors — not to mention the growing competition coming from global institutions that are attracting those same students. What institutional leaders need, Conn noted, is “re-energizing.” Only then will they have the spark and inspiration needed to undertake the change they wish to see in their organizations. Enterprise transformation is the major theme of this year’s NJEdge Annual Conference, taking place Jan. 11-12 in Whippany, NJ.

Gates Foundation Seeks Intermediaries for Networks of School Improvement

By Joshua Bolkan, Campus Technology
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is requesting proposals for networks of school improvement (NSIs). NSIs are, according to the foundation’s glossary for the project, groups of schools serving students in grades 6-12 that work on their own and together with an intermediary to implement a continuous improvement process that aims to improve outcomes for black, Latino and low-income students. The organization said in a release that it will be requesting additional proposals to lead NSIs in the coming years, but the current one is specifically for intermediaries, which will receive funding directly. An intermediary, according to the organization, is “a central, coordinating entity that brings together multiple school leadership teams to tackle common problems and work toward common aims. Intermediaries serve several functions.

7 Ed Tech Trends to Watch in 2018

By Rhea Kelly, Campus Technology

Whenever we analyze the landscape of higher education technology, we find a range of trends in various stages of development. There are topics with real staying power, such as learning space design (which has factored into our trends list for several years). Others have evolved over time: Virtual reality made our list in 2016, then expanded to include augmented and mixed reality in 2017, and this year makes up part of a broader concept of immersive learning. And while some topics, like video, have been around for ages, new developments are putting them into a different light. To help make sense of it all, we asked a panel of four IT leaders from institutions across the country for their thoughts. Here’s what they told us.

How is education being disrupted by technology?

by Krista Garcia, Rappler

In the past 10 years or so, we’ve witnessed a pace of disruption in education that’s unmatched in previous decades. Books, curriculums, and even teachers are rapidly being replaced or complemented by online resources and digital tools such as tablets and mobile phones. Technology has always played a role in equipping students with timely skills and up-to-the minute ideas and discoveries. But now, we see innovations challenging even the very existence of four-walled classrooms and teacher-student ratios. All of these benefit today and tomorrow’s students, as learning becomes cheaper, faster, and more accessible.

California Importing More College Graduates, But Not Keeping Up With Workforce Demands

By Vanessa Rancano, KQED

One in three Californians say they are seriously considering leaving the state because of high housing costs. And, for the past decade or so, California has been exporting more residents to other states than it imports. But new census numbers show one group keeps coming: young college graduates. The Public Policy Institute of California crunched the numbers and found almost 140,000 college graduates moved to California from other states between 2011 and 2016. That’s about half as many college degrees as the entire University of California system produced over the same period.

Why EdTech Firms Should Hire Educators

by Matthew Lynch, tech Edvocate

Edtech companies often focus on technology development, testing, and integration. However, a significant number of them are doing so without the input of education professionals. What do traditional educators have to offer edtech companies? In short, a lot. Here are the most significant reasons edtech companies need to employ teachers. Unless you come from a teaching background before starting your edtech company, you likely don’t have intimate knowledge of the inner workings of the education system. This lack of experience can make it hard to interact with potential buyers and sell your product. No matter what you offer, the rule is to know your customer.

A year in the life of a student-centered library

BY JOHN MILBURN AND KIMBERLY DEFUSCO, eSchool News

We often get inquiries about our district’s overall vision for our libraries. The truth is, libraries in our schools are far from cookie-cutter, and that’s what makes us successful. One of the reasons we feel our libraries are so effective is because each school is equipped with a full-time certified library media specialist. Additionally, each library’s resources are curated and customized for each school to meet the needs of its diverse student population. It sounds like a big task, but it’s what our students need, so the effort is worth it. When students enter the real world, they’ll be exposed to a variety of print and digital text, and libraries are great equalizers for different forms of media. Our media specialists are experts in collaborating with teachers, knowing their student population, identifying the right mix of print and digital resources, and detecting student preferences

OPINION: Technology can be overused, but proves helpful tool in the classroom at MHS

By msmith, Daily Republic

The use of smartphones has been making headlines lately. Some articles cite studies linking internet usage to depression in teens. But while smartphones and other technologies can be associated with addictive and harmful effects on children and teens, the positive uses of technology are pervasive and indisputable in today’s world and are only becoming more critical to success in school and future careers. Currently at Mitchell High School, there are students enrolled in 216 dual credit courses, most of which are taken online. And for many, they’re beneficial. “The independence of online classes has helped me learn self-accountability,” said Jamison Gross, a junior at Mitchell High School.

The looming student loan default crisis is worse than we thought

by Judith Scott-Clayton, Brookings
This report analyzes new data on student debt and repayment, released by the U.S. Department of Education in October 2017. Previously available data have been limited to borrowers only, follow students for a relatively short period (3-5 years) after entering repayment, and had only limited information on student characteristics and experiences. The new data allow for the most comprehensive assessment to date of student debt and default from the moment students first enter college, to when they are repaying loans up to 20 years later, for two cohorts of first-time entrants (in 1995-96 and 2003-04). This report provides a broader perspective on student debt and default that considers all college entrants rather than just borrowers, provides substantially longer follow-up, and enables a more detailed analysis of trends over time and heterogeneity across subgroups than previously possible.
