Transcript of SXSWedu 2014: How mentorship puts the "ed" into "edtech"
How mentorship puts the “Ed” into “EdTech”
Joan E. Hughes Associate Professor of Learning TechnologiesThe University of Texas at [email protected]@techedges
Shantia Kerr, Ph.D.
So many students of color see me sitting at my desk, knock on my door and sit down to chat. I’ve had undergraduate students tell me that they never had an African American professor.
Gloria Gonzales Dholakia, Ph.D.
You prepared me to do this type of work: Understanding what edtech looks in most schools, what students want it to look like, what teachers need from edtech to be practical in their classrooms. @gloriagd
Rachel Barrera, Ph.D.I could not have graduated without all of your guidance, advice, encouragement and support. I related to you as a female in academia, which helped me think about where to go in my academic career and life. Mentors can make all the difference.
@rachelbalam
Xavier Maldonado, M.Ed.When I’m at work and we’re trying to grapple with how we keep pushing the edtech boundaries, I think WWDHD (What would Dr. Hughes Do). It helps keep me focused on what’s important.
