This is a presentation shared by Dr. Wesley Fryer on March 12, 2014, at Church of the Resurrection in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The presentation explored what "digital footprints" are, why it's important for parents and grandparents to have regular conversations with young people about their digital footprints, how many misconceptions abound concerning teen use of social media, and what we can do to manage our digital footprints constructively.
The gap between physical and digital has blurred: we use Wiis to get in shape, computers to order a pizza, or our smartphone’s GPS to find hot dates. People want to interact with products and services when they want to and how they want to – and that’s not always on the web.
The future of design is everywhere the customer touches our product or service - digital or physical. User experience practitioners must move beyond the screen to designing a holistic customer experience that is seamless across channels and devices.
Presentation version of my book, Designing the Digital Experience, given at Computers in Libraries 2009. Focuses on creating digital experiences on websites.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone’s life! - Steve JobsVinay C
This is a quote from Steve Job's commencement address at Stanford University in 2005.
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

Mapping Media to the Common Core with iPadsWesley Fryer
Digital literacy today means much more than searching the Internet and using Microsoft Office. To be digitally literate, teachers as well as students need to be able to create and share online a variety of different multimedia products. These media products can be “mapped” to your curriculum, and if you’re in a Common Core state in the United States, to the Common Core State Standards. Interactive Writing, Narrated Art, 5 Photo Stories, Narrated Slideshows, Screencasts, Quick Edit Videos, and eBooks are a few of the media products learners should be able to create and safely share online. In this session, we’ll view different examples of student media products and learn about tools and strategies for helping teachers become digitally literate as “media mappers.” We’ll also explore how librarians and instructional coaches can use the “Mapping Media to the Curriculum” website as a roadmap to help teachers and students create media products as assignments for class and as artifacts in digital portfolios.

Create Narrated Slideshows and ScreencastsWesley Fryer
The ability to create narrated slideshows and screencasts and share them online should be a basic skill for digitally literate learners today. In this session we'll explore the reasons why "playing with media" (including narrated slideshows/screencasts) is essential for digital literacy development, and discuss why teachers as well as students should be able to create narrated slideshows specifically to teach, learn, and demonstrate content mastery. We'll view examples of narrated slideshows created by teachers as well as students, and learn about different tools we can use to create and publish these creations online. We'll discuss the "workflow" for students creating narrated slideshows as a class assignment, either at home or in class using a cart of laptop computers, iPads, or the school computer lab.

Redesigning Public Services: The 21st Century Library User ExperienceDavid King
People don’t want just goods or services from a business anymore - they want a unique, remarkable experience built around those goods or services. It’s the same for your library. Your patrons are looking for more than a book - they can find that at Walmart, or even in their pocket. They want a unique, useful user experience built around “your stuff.”
User experiences are a strange brew of structure, community, and customers. Today’s savvy librarians need to focus on the full digital and physical experiences patrons have when they make a library visit - so they can quickly find information, make decisions, or participate - creating positive experiences that visitors not only remember but want to share with others. David Lee King explains the customer experience design concept, introduces a range of tools and strategies, and shares experience design best practices.

App Smashing to YouTube (Miami Device 2015)Wesley Fryer
One of the most powerful ways to use mobile devices in the classroom is to help students share their voices online on a classroom YouTube channel. In app smashing to YouTube, we will explore and demonstrate how to go from a planning storyboard, to a video creation iPad app, to the teacher iPad with AirDrop or InstaShare, to the classroom YouTube channel with YouTube Capture, and finally to a YouTube video playlist. Session resources are available on http://showwithmedia.com/resources/appsmash/
Show What You Know With Media (June 2015)Wesley Fryer
Media products created by students can provide a clearer, deeper and more helpful "window" into their minds. Teachers need to regularly invite students to "show what they know with media." When students create and share content based on the curriculum, their learning can be "stickier" and more powerful. Blended learning classrooms allow teachers to better differentiate instruction to meet student needs. In this dynamic keynote, we will explore both the why and the how of "showing what you know with media." This will include examples of engaging student media products teachers can invite students to create tomorrow! We will also explore ways art can be creatively integrated across the curriculum using technology.

Mapping Media to the Curriculum (May 2015)Wesley Fryer
As 21st century educators, we should to provide opportunities for students to demonstrate mastery and understanding of the curriculum not only with text but also with images, audio, and video. Dr. Wesley Fryer will invite and inspire you to become a better multimedia communicator and a pioneer with digital media in this dynamic presentation. Learn how to “expand the map” of assessment options in your classroom to include student products like narrated slideshows, enhanced eBooks including recorded audio, five photo stories with images, and more. Learn practical ways to overcome the anxiety and fear which often accompanies technology integration proposals by creating personal media products. Learn how to enhance your digital resume as a professional educator with examples of your own media creations as well as students projects you facilitate. Links to student media examples as well as project storyboards/tools are available on ShowWithMedia.com.
Visual notetaking is a process of representing ideas non-linguistically. (That’s a fancy of way of saying, “drawing pictures.”) Visual notetaking can include concept mapping, but also more artistic ways of visually capturing and representing ideas. On the simpler side of the visual notetaking continuum, visual notes can be used to create narrated art. On the complex end of the spectrum, some visual notetaking applications support the creation of whiteboard animation videos which include audio narration synchronized to screencasts of drawings. Visual or graphic facilitation can be used at meetings to summarize presentations and guide discussions. Whether simple or complex, visual notes can be used to more deeply process information as well as communicate it to others with images. Come join us as we explore and practice visual notetaking.

Slides for an after-school workshop on Interactive Writing led by Dr. Wesley Fryer at Independence Elementary School in Yukon, Oklahoma, on November 14, 2014. Workshop description: Students and teachers today need to practice interactive digital writing. Learn how to setup, use and moderate content on a classroom website where students can post their work and teachers MODERATE content to improve student writing skills. A moderated classroom blog can be an ideal platform to use to share announcements, classroom news, and student work for a public audience. This can permit parents, grandparents, other students, and other classroom “pen pals” in different places to provide feedback to students and serve as an authentic audience. In this workshop we’ll use the free blogging site KidBlog to model the digital facilitation of student writing. We’ll explore how other websites can also be used by teachers and students create “backchannels” for classroom discussions. We’ll have hands-on practice with tools like TodaysMeet, EtherPad, Google Docs and Google Forms to understand ways these tools can be used to amplify student voices, empower student creative expression and fluency with text. The importance and value of MODERATING student posts shared to public websites will be emphasized, as well as options teachers have to amplify student work using PLNs (professional learning communities) with projects like #comments4kids. Teachers will leave this workshop inspired with new ideas to energize their writing classes with students using safe, moderated approaches to digital, interactive writing.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

26. “Britain's surveillance agency GCHQ, with aid from the US
National Security Agency, intercepted and stored the
webcam images of millions of internet users not suspected
of wrongdoing, secret documents reveal.
!
GCHQ files dating between 2008 and 2010 explicitly state
that a surveillance program codenamed Optic Nerve
collected still images of Yahoo webcam chats in bulk and
saved them to agency databases, regardless of whether
individual users were an intelligence target or not.
!
In one six-month period in 2008 alone, the agency collected
webcam imagery – including substantial quantities of
sexually explicit communications – from more than 1.8
million Yahoo user accounts globally.”

33. We've had the Internet since 1992
And now I never have a sense of "what to do?"
Because we're all just nodes- connecting- me and you
!
Oh-a oh
!
We wonder if all information should be free
And with our education -- how "tech" could it be?
..If our devices might change our biology
!
Oh-a oh
I'll get my Mac Pro
Oh-a oh
and go to Google
!
Digital Life has changed who we are
Digital Life has changed who we are
34. We're binary in our hearts
!
Oh-a-a-a oh
!
And now we tweet and blog and hashtag all our
thoughts
Our children start to play with personal robots
Nothing is real until we Instagram our shots
!
Oh-a oh
You gotta post it
Oh-a oh
that makes it Le-git
!
Digital Life has changed who we are
Digital Life has changed who we are
