This is the place where we dissect and then discover the many ways ITD teachers all over this country are using their passion to create passionate students. We talk of measuring and manipulating a multitude of materials of design and divergent thought, of creation with our minds and with our hands. And most of all, we talk of growing great young people because of course that is what we do.

    Bridge Building Podcast Episode 66: Datta Podcast: ringing History to Life with Augmented Reality - Steve Muir

    In This Episode: We continue our focus on creativity by featuring an inspiring conversation with Steve Muir, a Humanities teacher who is breaking the mold in Hervey Bay. Despite the stereotype that Humanities is all about sitting and reading, Steve is doing things differently. He's using iPads and augmented reality to make history come alive for his students. What You’ll Learn: How Steve uses augmented reality to create immersive learning experiences, like giving students a virtual tour of the Colosseum while they walk around the school oval. Why Steve’s claim that he’s “not a creative person” is something we should all take note of especially considering the incredibly creative work he’s doing. The importance of embracing creativity in teaching, even when you're not sure something will work. Episode Highlights: Setting an Example: Steve Muir isn’t just teaching history; he’s reimagining how it’s taught, using technology to engage his students in a whole new way. Augmented Reality in Education: Discover how Steve’s innovative approach is making history interactive and exciting for his students. Overcoming Doubts: Steve shares his experience of trying something new, even when he wasn’t sure it would succeed and how that risk paid off.   You can find Steve here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrstevemuir7/ Here is a look at reality composer: https://www.youtube.com/watch

    Bridge Building Podcast Episode 65: Datta Podcast: Creativity with Jamie Gerlach.

    Over the course of this year I have come to the belief that our subject area if done well is a haven for the generation of creativity, and the concern we have is that when training our teachers there is little or no emphasis on how to teach this creativity or design thinking.   Today, I am talking to Jamie Gerlach from 4C transformative learning and I love how he explains it. Creativity as a process. Creativity is a process, when you think of it like that all sorts of possibilities arise.

    Bridge Building Podcast Episode 64: Datta Podcast: Prototyping 101 with Megan Detering

    Today, I am honoured to be talking to a simply sensational teacher who began her life as a automotive designer and what can I say she is doing some great things for her students. I ran across her on linked in where she was telling of a method she uses to show how important prototyping is when designing. The conversation runs at a few tangents, from the marshmellow challenge to Elon Musk but, I am sure there are some gems in here for you. Prototyping is one of the things, I think many do badly. Megan and I discuss just why that might be.  I hope you enjoy this as much as I have.     Welcome Megan Detering from Canberra Girls Grammar.

  6. Bridge Building Podcast Episode 62: Datta Podcast: The Future of Education Summit with Scott Millar & Megan King.

    19 JUN

    Bridge Building Podcast Episode 62: Datta Podcast: The Future of Education Summit with Scott Millar & Megan King.

    Right off the back of a very successful Datta conference and quite frankly I am seriously excited about the future of education, I have the pleasure of spending some time with two sensational educators. Scott Millar and Megan King will spearhead a conference in July called the “Future of Education Summit” and you are just about to hear that they base this future on giving our students access to and the ability to practice and use those 21st-century skills. And one of the staples of their methods is design thinking. Now I do give Scott a bit of a hard time because, well he is just way too young to have the amount of smarts that he is carrying around and you do have to call that out. But seriously, when you realise that the business he is running started as a Business/design project in high school you will see him as a true success arising from our area. I didn’t ask him which school he went to and I should have because it sounds like it could be the next place for me. So please enjoy this slightly longer-than-usual conversation about the future of education and the summit which is being held at Canterbury College on the 25th of July 2024.

    Bridge Building Podcast Episode 61: Datta Podcast: Conference Presenter Series – Rashan Senanayake and Nadia Sten

    Welcome to the Bridge Building Podcast from Technology to the Trades. I am Stephen Anderson and this is session number 61. Well, it's just one week to go and today I bring you the last two, of the speakers that I've been able to track down for a chat. First up we have Rashan Senanayake talking about one of the conference favourites. One of the hot topics around the world as he puts it, but this time from a different angle. He'll be looking at general AI as it relates to design. Next up we have a teacher coming to us straight from prison. No, that's not true, but she is from the school that has been built on the old Boga Road site at Dutton Park.   And her job this year is to show us how to use one of the most common teaching tools. And one that if we were to be honest with ourselves, we all use pretty badly. Nadiya Sten on using PowerPoint, using it efficiently, and not just for us, for the kids too. Two sensational teachers sharing with our community. You can meet both Rishan and Nadia at exactly the same time, at exactly the same place, one on each day. That is the first session in Room A1 on Thursday for Nadia and Friday for Rishan. This is the last of this speaker series for this year's conference at the Brisbane Convention Centre on the 13th and 14th of June.

    Bridge Building Podcast Episode 60: Datta Podcast: Conference Presenter Series – Phillip Canalise and Rowan Cahill

    We are getting really close now. Just two weeks to go until this years annual DATTA conference and today it is all about engineering. I get to speak to a couple of really smart teachers about the challenges of teaching senior engineering. First up is Philip Canalise who is leading a tutorial on how to use inventor to run all of the numbers and create digital prototypes and second we have Rowan Cahill who will be leading a discussion for teacher of engineering.   Two sensational teachers sharing with our community. You can meet both Rowan and Phillip on the first day and at different times so if you are an engineering teacher you can get to meet them both. I’ll be back next week with the last of the speakers at this years conference at the Brisbane convention centre from the 13th to the 14th of June.
