Swift Teacher

I had the pleasure of speaking with Daniel Budd for this episode. Daniel is the Director of Learning Technologies at Corpus Christi College, an Apple Distinguished School in Perth, Western Australia. As an Apple Distinguished Educator, Daniel is actively involved in research projects focussed on STEM education, robotics, information systems, big data and design thinking. Daniel’s career began in Web Development and Design for learning Australian marketing and advertising firms. Daniel and I had an inspiring discussion about teaching Swift and creating engaging learning in Swift.

Note: This episode was recorded March 12, 2017, prior to Apple acquiring Workflow on March 22, 2017.

Apple Acquires Workflow - https://techcrunch.com/2017/03/22/apple-has-acquired-workflow-a-powerful-automation-tool-for-ipad-and-iphone/

For this episode I interviewed Nick Frey, Conrad Kramer, and Ari Weinstein - the creators of the iOS app Workflow. Workflow is an iOS automation app that debuted in the App Store in December 2014. Ari Weinstein co-founded Workflow. He dropped out of MIT to co-found the company to follow his passion for building great software and products. Conrad Kramer co-founded Workflow, where he spends most of his time engineering. He got started with iOS development 6 years ago, working on a number of side projects before joining Workflow full time. Nick Frey grew up in Iowa and studied Computer Science at Iowa State for just one semester before dropping out of school to co-found Workflow with Conrad and Ari. It is my most used and important app on my iPad and iPhone. I would like to thank Ari, Conrad, and Nick for taking time out of their busy schedules to talk to me about their coding origin stories and learning to code.

In this episode I interviewed Douglas Kiang. Douglas is a speaker, teacher, and workshop presenter with over twenty-five years of teaching experience in independent schools at every grade level. He currently teaches at Punahou School, where he teaches computer science and supports faculty in the one-to-one program. He is also a keynote speaker and presenter for EdTechTeacher.org. Douglas holds a master’s degree in Technology, Innovation, and Education from Harvard and is pursuing a Doctorate in Global Education Leadership. He is a Google Certified Trainer and an Apple Distinguished Educator. Douglas and I had a great conversation about teaching Swift and the connection between coding, app development, and design.

In the first episode of the Swift Educator Podcast I give the origin story of the podcast and introduce myself. I lay out the purpose and goals for the podcast. Finally, I discuss what I have seen, the experiences I have had, and my students have had this school year with Swift (*spoiler alert*: it has been awesome!)

I would like to thank my friend and Apple Distinguished Educator colleague Kelly Croy for his help, support, and inspiration in starting this podcast. He has a fantastic podcast [The Wired Educator Podcast](http://wirededucator.com)! I highly recommend it. Kelly can be found on Twitter and is a great follow: [@WiredEducator](https://twitter.com/WiredEducator).
