EdTechSR Ep 212 NCCE 2021 Rocked

Welcome to episode 212 ("NCCE 2021 Rocked") of the EdTech Situation Room from March 24, 2021, where technology news meets educational analysis. This week Jason Neiffer (@techsavvyteach) and Wesley Fryer (@wfryer) discussed the 2021 NCCE Conference, Google and Microsoft's spat over Australian journalism row & payoff, and Twitter's new entity in Turkey complying with local social media laws. Thoughtful articles analyzing the possibility of Donald Trump launching his own social media platform, a shout out to Karla Swisher's January podcast interview with (now ousted) Parler CEO John Matze, the crowdsourcing website Sedition Hunter, and an excellent CNN article on preparing kids to use social media were also highlighted. Privacy issues with Clubhouse, Lenovo's new Chromebooks for the education market, updated Google Photos AI capabilities, and on-going development of Google's Fuchsia operating system were discussed. Updates to Google notifications, a costly Bitccoin scam, white hat hacker profits during the pandemic, China's Microsoft Exchange server attack, Microsoft's announced reopening of business offices, and exciting announcements about electric cars and batteries by Volkswagen rounded out the show. Our show was live streamed and archived simultaneously on YouTube Live as well as our Facebook Live page via StreamYard.com, and compressed to a smaller video version (about 100MB) on AmazonS3 using Handbrake software.
