EdTech Situation Room Episode 137

Welcome to episode 137 of the EdTech Situation Room from June 6, 2019, where technology news meets educational analysis. This week Jason Neiffer (@techsavvyteach) was out on assignment, so Wesley Fryer (@wfryer) welcomed special guest Dave Quinn (@EduQuinn) to break down some of the technology headlines from recent weeks. Topics addressed included YouTube's important policy change regarding censorship of hate speech, including the "SIFT Approach" (Stop, Investigate, Find, Trace) for media literacy by Mike Caufield, and Mike's recent post on the "Curation/Search Radicalization Spiral." The 30 year anniversary of Tiananmen Square, Tiananmen's "Take Man" image (perhaps the most heavily censored photo on our planet today), and a few updates from Apple's WWDC 2019 conference this week were also highlighted. Geeks of the Week included Doug Belshaw's (@dajbelshaw) "Thought Shrapnel" website, a good spirited video Boeing about AirBus, a new Google report on emerging education trends, and the free K-2 reading / eBook site Rivet. Please follow us on Twitter @edtechSR for updates, and join us LIVE on Wednesday nights if you can (normally) at 10 pm Eastern / 9 pm Central / 8 pm Mountain / 7 pm Pacific or 3 am UTC.
