Ed3 is going unplugged!

With the fast pace of change, we're excited to start weekly unscripted conversations between Serj Hunt and Scott Meyer on the latest educational changes. This will bring a conversational approach to the emerging trends we are seeing in education.

Verifiable credentials are a data type, often thought of as a digital version of credentials we use in the physical world, like diplomas, driver's licenses, professional certifications, etc. 

Evin McMullen of Disco.xyz is on a mission to change that. She is unlocking the personalized web by creating digital backpacks. In everyone's backpack, we have verifiable credentials that share our likes, preferences, experiences, and more...

Teachers and curriculum designers spend a significant amount of time understanding a concept. Then, they spend more time creating curricula, projects, and exercises based on that material.

What if that work could be done in minutes? What if learners could immediately have flashcards to review key concepts and terms?

Nolej AI makes this possible.

In this episode, we welcome Bodo Hoenen, the first-ever repeat guest on the Ed3 Podcast...

Colin Reynolds is a former teacher now working to build accessible learner records. In his position at the Education Design Lab, he is leading a collaborative project with the US Chamber of Commerce to accelerate the adoption of learner employment records using AI.

In this conversation, we remember our early days in radio in the Upper Midwest before diving into how digital records can actually improve learning, help teachers, and unlock opportunities...

While AI provides new potential, a challenge is integration. How do schools innovate and integrate these tools?

Learning ecosystems are networks of learning resources that can be adapted around a specific learner's needs or interests. Serj Hunt is working to develop these ecosystems with City as a School.

In this podcast, Hunt argues that schools and teachers are asked to be everything to everyone: counselors, career advisors, mentors helping teens go through puberty, and educators working on getting students "market-ready."

That's a lot...

This lively Ed3: Unplugged discussion explores the concepts of attribution in an age when answers are everywhere.

Serj Hunt joins Scott Meyer to look at how teachers could train AI models and sell those models to other teachers. We talk about project-based learning and how to map those efforts to jobs. Then, we look at how technology might close the loop on identifying what to learn and getting credit for that learning...

According to McKinsey, nearly 40% of Americans identify as independent workers, up from just 27% seven years ago. In the future, more of the labor market will focus on fractionalized small bounties that freelancers can pick up and complete.
