In this episode, we’re speaking to Professor Dr Stuart Kime. We unpack some of Stuart's views on educational data, we hear about why waste is one of the reasons he is motivated to work with schools and educators and we gain some insight on how schools can select the right data points and why more data is perhaps not always better.

Welcome to the EIM Global Podcast, the place where we speak to experts from across education, academia, and industry, so we can contribute to the professional conversations happening in our community now. The discussions we have and insights shared by guests help develop our own thinking and work, and hopefully spark further dialogue for other educators too as they reflect on their practice and the students they work with.

In today's episode, we're joined by Dr. James Welsh. Dr. Welsh is the director of the Florida Center for Instructional Technology, FCIT, where he provides professional learning, digital content and technology integration evaluation services to schools and districts worldwide. Dr. Welsh teaches classroom technology integration to students at the University of South Florida and professional development courses to educators through USF's I teach professional learning. Dr. Welsh is the project leader for the technology integration matrix evaluation tools, and has worked with many districts and states on education technology initiatives.

He directs the Tampa Theatre Film Camp, a digital filmmaking summer camp, and his research interests span media literacies, evaluation of technology integration in K 20 settings, student engagement in the creation and critical evaluation of multimedia texts, and the evaluation of multimodal texts in online settings.

We cover a lot of ground in this episode, starting with James' journey into education and his role at the FCIT and his belief in the absolute importance of classroom teachers; the background to how the Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) came to be and what it tries to do; the importance of scaffolding student decisions with technology, and the fact that technology itself is not an academic intervention.

We also touch on his thoughts about what's changed and what's not in the use of technology in the last 20 years, and some of his own thoughts about how we should go about measuring the impact of technology in education.
