The world of cyber security can sometimes feel intimidating and confusing. We hear about computer viruses, hackers, phishing scams, COPPA, and other tech-related issues. We know it’s important, but we may not always know what we should be doing to protect ourselves and those around us. In today’s episode, we are joined by Ryan Cloutier, a cyber security expert who is able to explain this topic in simple, clear, and actionable terms.

Ryan describes himself as “a man on a mission” to serve K-12 education and to “help build a bridge that allows us to have a more meaningful conversation” and “actually be able to take action in our homes, in our classrooms, in our families, and in our communities to reduce our risk."

We each face our own unique challenges, and we all have stories that define who we are. We each also possess individual power that we can use to face those daily challenges and shape our futures. To help us unpack this topic, we are joined by Jasmine Brett Stringer, an uplifting keynote speaker and award-winning author of “Seize Your Life: How to Carpe Diem Every Day.” She helps us explore the idea of seizing your life and achieving personal success by taking control of your power. Jasmine explains that part of her mission is “to help people reclaim their power, own their power, live in their power, stand in their power because we are all born powerful.”

Throughout our conversation, Jasmine shares insights and strategies for reclaiming the power we are all born with. This process begins with getting to know yourself and then working to become the “youest you” possible through goal setting, mindfulness, and personal growth. Visit AVID Open Access to learn more.

Making a Big Impact with Micro:bit Aug 31, 2022

Show notes

Micro:bit is a simple, yet robust, mini-computer that contains 25 LED lights, buttons, sensors, sounds, and the ability to connect with input and output devices. Students code the device on another computer using block coding, and they can use their imaginations to program countless products with this simple interface. Even if students don’t have access to the physical micro:bits, they can code a simulated unit online. This feature provides equitable access to schools who might not be able to afford the physical product.

In this episode, we are joined by Giles Booth, the Education Content Manager for Micro:bit Educational Foundation. Giles shares his insights and passions for using Micro:bit and coding in the classroom and how it can empower students and allow them to develop powerful and transferable skills through the process of coding.
