Melinda Miller is a principal in a Missouri elementary school. Scott Elias is an assistant principal at a high school in Colorado. Together they record the Practical Principals podcast, and use them in their administrative roles to enhance learning in their schools. They discussed the Apple Distinguished Educator events and what the educators and administrators learn there. Scott was recently accepted into the program, and gives the audience some insight. They learn the latest about different Apple applications, and implementing them into videos and podcasts. Each person learns from one another at these national events. The overall theme for the most recent one was “branding” and how it can be used in education, and the classroom.
This Apple program even has an impressive video and audio training site. It has actually trained people who have won Grammys! It teaches the educators how to collaborate with one another by using podcasts and Twitter, to name a few. They are able to communicate through networking and share with each other. Each person brings a unique perspective to the table, and they are able to become more informed about the latest technologies in poscasting. Surprisingly, Melinda and Scott have never even met! They just do their podcast together once a month. Pretty neat!
