Susan is the Chief Innovation Officer for the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) in Washington D.C. From 2016 to 2017 she was a Senior Education Pioneers Fellow for the U.S. Department of Education. She also participates in the EdTechChat Radio podcast for the BAM Radio Network.

After a discussion about Susan’s fascinating career progression from musician to IT specialist to Education Technology specialist, we launched into a discussion of “digital citizenship,” also the title of her book. It basically encompasses how to be a smart, informed, ethical user of the internet. The book is aimed a both teachers and parents. Things like cyberbullying and internet safety are covered. Later we got into a discussion of tools for education, including AI. We finish with Susan’s amazing perspective on whether robots will ever replace teachers in the classroom.

With all the recent news about online security breaches, it’s hard
not to worry about where our data goes. Making an online purchase or
simply accessing your email could put your private information at risk.

As I’ve explained before, you’re being TRACKED online by social media sites, marketing companies, and your mobile or internet provider. Not only can they record your browsing history, but they often sell it to other corporations who want to profit from your information. That’s why I’m taking back MY
privacy by using ExpressVPN.

ExpressVPN has easy-to-use apps that run seamlessly in the background of your computer, phone and tablet. Turning on ExpressVPN protection only takes one click.
ExpressVPN secures and anonymizes your Internet browsing by encrypting your data and hiding your public IP address.

So if you ever use public Wi-Fi and want to keep hackers and spies
from seeing your data, ExpressVPN is the solution.

And if you don’t want to hand over your online history to your
Internet provider or data resellers, ExpressVPN is the also the answer.

So, protect your online activity TODAY and find out how you can learn more and also get 3 months free at EXPRESSVPN.com/BGM.
