Fostering democracy? Not exactly the mission I had in mind getting into higher ed tech. But when I joined The Chronicle of Higher Education's webinar on First-Year Student Success last week, I was amazed to see so many attendees asking about strategies for getting out the vote this fall with first-year students. Since November is less than 5 months away, here are 5 ideas that anyone can use to get out the vote with Mongoose's Cadence (or whichever messaging tool you have): 1. 🎂 DOB < 11/6/06 (Now) - Remind them they can vote this year with a link to details, whether or not they're enrolled with you yet! 2. Absentee Info Poll❓(Sep) - Find students to follow up with information on requesting absentee ballots from home with a quick "Yes/No" Smart Message 3. ^Send the Nos an ⚡️auto-reply with more details on getting registered to vote/voting locally! 4. 🏅Challenge Stats (Nov) - Send out a blast text the morning of Election Day to let everyone where to go to get their "I voted" pin to help set a new campus record. 5. It's Not Too Late! (Nov) - ⏰ Schedule a text to go out on election day in the late afternoon reminding them that polls are still open! 6. BONUS - Stuck on the message? 🪄Ask your AI Assistant to add some ✨ splash to make it stick out to your students. Let’s help our first-year (and all-year) students make their voices heard, and participate in this Great American Experiment! 👇Add your ideas in the comments below!!👇 #HigherEd #StudentSuccess #VoterRegistration #FirstYearExperience #EdTech #MongooseCadence #MakeEveryMessageCount

New #HigherEducation resource from UPCEA: “Building Capacity, Expanding Pathways: Accelerating the Growth of Credential Innovation in Higher Education” UPCEA is making the playbook available to all institutions seeking to accelerate their own efforts to produce noncredit microcredentials directed toward their local, regional or statewide business communities. The 54-page playbook includes lessons learned, 10 actionable next steps to move the field forward, and 10 instructive case studies of the participating institutions. 👏 https://lnkd.in/gjqx_SN4

Educators Wrestle with the real-life applications of the 2024 National Educational Technology Plan - insights from David Miyashiro, Eileen Belastock, CETL, Bonnie Chelette, and D'Andre Weaver, Ph.D. I love this quote: "Holistic planning also means encouraging teachers to ask, “Why am I using this technology? What am I using it for, and how is it helping?” There should be a balance between work that’s on the computer and work that isn’t." #edtech #k12education

The Panel Discussion on the topic "The Intersection of AI and Education: Going Beyond the Hype" at 1EdTech Consortium's Learning Impact Conference 2024 was a great discussion with lots of questions from the audience. For me the biggest takeaway was about a potential equity crisis in the next several years. Ryan Lufkin of Instructure described a split in the education community on AI with those incorporating AI into education on one side and those seeking to ban or exclude it on the other side. However, it won't be long before colleges/universities and potential employers expect every candidate to have experience using AI in some capacity - opening up a severe gap for those students who came from educational systems that chose to exclude it from the curriculum. #LearningImpact24

Developing shared standards for the use of AI in education remains an important topic of discussion in Ed Tech, and new guidance from the U.S. Department of Education may offer the most helpful framework yet.
