Welcome to th March CanAm EdTech Report top news and highlights in learning & technology across North America. A little trivia, today officially marks our 16th anniversary year of publishing the MindShare Report! It truly is a Can/Am story as it was inspired by my time at Pepperdine University (Malibu, California) while completing my Masters in EdTech. Through my thesis research I found that there was no specific news source that addressed the burgeoning EdTech sector to help make sense of the complexities of implementing tech infused pedagogy. Upon graduation, we were challenged to change the world and I decided to laser focus on Canada. I drafted a news release announcing at FETC the launch of the MindShare Report in March of 2007, and the rest as they say, is history. Fast forward to 2023, my passion for learning and innovation continues with a desire to help the next generation of leaders acquire the essential skills to build a better world. One of those awesome vehicles to inspire problem solving skills is the Canadian School of the Future [Student Invention Challenge] launching next week! Aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, we are challenging teachers and students to solve ‘real world’ problems within their school community, then share their success story in a short 2-3 minute video submission. Over $1 million in classroom tech prizes have been awarded to date! In this issue, we share critical insights, trends, and research in the K12 & higher education space to help you optimize and refine learning for and with your students. I’m pleased to share a few highlights not to be missed in this packed issue below: 1. Leaders & Legends podcast featuring Jennifer Ferrari, CEO, Education Research & Development Institute U.S. reflects on her recent institute and peers into the future of learning 2. C21 Canada Spotlight in conversation Steven Brown, CEO, Nelson Learning on leading digital transformation in the Classroom 3.

Parent and Family Digital Learning Guide

This was one of the items in this week’s Mindshare Learning that I thought might be of interest to readers.

Parent and Family Digital Learning Guide Your involvement in your child’s education can lead to better learning results and outcomes. This “Parent and Family Digital Learning Guide” will inform you, as a parent or caregiver, as you monitor your child’s progress as your child accesses and uses technology for learning. This guide aims to help all parents and caregivers, including those who have limited experience with digital tools, those who are expert with these tools, and anywhere in between. Each section starts with foundational pieces and builds from there.

Release of the State of Online Learning in Canada Report

Post on: January 31, 2017

Michael’s research has focused on K-12 online teaching and learning. My research agenda is aimed at improving the design and delivery of these online learning opportunities to enable all students, particularly those in rural areas, the opportunity for success. Over the past decade, I have published approximately two dozen peer-reviewed manuscripts about a variety of topics, including the differences in retention and student achievement based upon delivery model and urban-rural distinctions, and the factors accounting for these differences; components of online learning that K-12 students find helpful and challenging; characteristics of effectively designed and delivered K-12 online courses; whether new technologies, particularly those that allow for interaction, in K-12 online learning affect how students learn; what students do in their schools when scheduled for online learning environment and where they turn to when they need content-based assistance; the preparation of teachers to be able to design, delivery, and support K-12 online learning; and policy and regulatory issues related to the introduction and growth of K-12 online learning at state and national levels.
