Welcome back to episode 4 of the UCET podcast, where we talk about all things Utah, education, and technology. In this episode, we are focusing on modeling and facilitating the responsible repurposing and remixing of digital resources by students by discussing innovation in education and how teachers and students can best adapt to the ever-changing educational landscape. We have two guests on this episode, Quinn Rollins, a social studies teacher with Granite district and Kayla Towner, a UEN instructor, former elementary teacher with Davis district.

Over of the course of this episode, we discuss the following questions:

1. What is the biggest challenge facing the education sector?
2. What is your favorite example of student innovation? Favorite example of teacher innovation?
3. Why does innovation in education matter?
4. What are the most critical skills for innovation?

At the end of the episode, we discussed  why some educators are reluctant to change and how we can encourage innovation for all of our students. As was mentioned in the episode, we can’t just teach how we were taught, we can and should innovate to be better.
