Cathy Davidson shares about her book, A New Education: How to Revolutionize the University to Prepare Students for a World in Flux on episode 169 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

We’ve divided things up into very strange and restrictive categories in a world where those categories are completely merged and mixed and changing every minute.

Every generation has some new technology which we’re convinced is going to destroy us.

I believe in being skeptical about technology and therefore learning how to use it well.

Teddy Svoronos talks about how to effectively use presentation tools in our teaching on episode 168 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

A real tech win to me is a device that both enhances the student experience and also reduces friction.

—Teddy Svoronos

Think very carefully about what will enhance the learning of the people watching the presentation.

—Teddy Svoronos

When we adopt technology, there are are two considerations: how valuable it is and how much friction is it going to introduce.

Maria and Ben share about educational technology across the disciplines on episode 167 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

There’s really no end to the ways screencasting can be used.

Don’t try to go it alone, because there’s such a great community out there that wants to help.

What’s often driving these really unique, innovative uses of technology is a desire to connect with students.

Bruce Hoskins and I attempt to model how to have healing conversations about racial identity on episode 166 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

People are not necessarily the problem, it’s what people are taught that is the problem.

If we want to create different behavior, we have to change the behavior at the institutional level rather than on the individual level.

Dave Stachowiak and I talk about teaching lessons from my course evaluations on episode 165 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

I hope students realize that I’m learning too, and I’m willing to grow and change and adapt.

Is there anything worthwhile you can glean from this [evaluation] that can make you a better teacher?

Joe Hoyle shares his expertise from 46 years of teaching and reflects on how to set students up for success from the start on episode 164 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

If you want to become a better teacher, start writing about it.

You have to start by knowing what you yourself want to accomplish.

There has to be a way to communicate to the students — they can’t read your mind.

Be sure that you communicate openly, honestly, and fairly frequently.

What I would hope my students write on my tombstone is, “He cared enough about us that he pushed us to be great.”

Kris Shaffer shares what we should know about APIs on episode 162 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

APIs are how computers talk to each other.

APIs are the bones of the internet.

It’s interesting to see how different services offer different levels of openness.

You can’t blame the computers, because the computers are programmed by people too.

Teresa Chahine shares about teaching social entrepreneurship in two worlds on episode 161 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

There is definitely a mental barrier between traditional charity and traditional commerce.

Social entrepreneurship is everything that lies between charity and commerce.

—Teresa Chahine

If you’re giving people money, you’re not actually changing the status quo, you’re helping them endure the status quo.

Teaching, practice, and research all inform each other.

Embrace failure as part of the process.

I’m always looking for one new thing, one new idea to try in an upcoming term.

I think it’s important that I keep learning. And not just learning inside my own discipline, but learning outside my discipline.
