Leadership Spotlight: Partnerships in Technology and Learning with Tim Fish

Tim's work as a leader with the National Association of Independent Schools provides him with frequent exposure to schools and how they take innovative approaches to technology and learning, examples of which he discusses in this episode. Tim and the hosts also talk about "productive struggle", keeping things simple, and seeing AI not for what it does but for what using it then allows us to do (with the time AI can save us). Themes of partnership and relationship emerge throughout the conversation.Tim’s AI-produced sketches, from his Camino de Santiago experienceResourcesNational Association of Independent Schools (NAIS)McDonogh School; Baltimore, MDCamino de Santiago, network of annual pilgrimages across SpainGood to Great, book by Jim CollinsMatthew Barzun, author of The Power of Giving Away Power and concept of “constellation”Jenny Wallace, podcast host and author concerning achievement cultureContact, film starring Jodie FosterClay Shirky - “the problem is filter failure, not information overload”ChatGPT, AI tool from OpenAIDALL-E3, AI artwork tool from OpenAISugata Mitra - a computer should be a partner in the conversationHow to Eat Fried Worms, book by Thomas RockwellCrossroads College Prep; St Louis, MO; “5th Day” conceptNAIS People of Color Conference (POCC)NAIS Annual ConferenceOne Stone school; Boise, ID; students are heavily involved in school administrationForest School; Atlanta, GA; self-directed learningUnderstanding by Design, concept by Jay McTigheTyping Tutor, ‘90s software for teaching typingDunkin Donuts, part of walk n’ talk ritualMentioned in this episode:Learn more about ToddleDeveloped by experienced educators, Toddle streamlines curriculum planning, projects & portfolios, assessments & reports, and online learning - all from one great platform!
