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

How to Evaluate Partnerships and Pathway Programs-at the beginning of our innovation many were suspicious that industry's involvement in education meant that students would be pushed into lower tracks. IBM's Pathways in Technology Early College High School has helped many students earn a bachelor's degree by age 20 but the majority of students typically graduate from college in their early to mid-20s according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Shanna White Justin Andrew Akeeme Black and Kenneth Louis are just a few examples from P-TECH Brooklyn. MDRC P-TECH 9-14 Evaluation "By the end of the first year of postsecondary education, 2.6 percent of female and 1.8 percent of male P-TECH 9-14 students had earned degrees, compared with virtually no students from the comparison group, of either gender. These impacts for both genders are statistically significant". "Male students who had the chance to attend P-TECH 9-14 schools were more likely to attain college degrees than male students assigned to other kinds of schools". https://lnkd.in/gzAi4xV6 #weareptech #skillsbuild #skillsfirst #skills2030 PTECH Brooklyn HS Alumni Network NYC Department of Education The City University of New York City Tech, CUNY IBM iX The State University of New York New York State Education Department www.ptech.org PTECH Brooklyn HS Alumni Network NYC Department of Education The City University of New York City Tech, CUNY IBM IBM iX The State University of New York New York State Education Department

Community College program alignment to the workforce is best aligned and supported with data. Good data. Key point from the post: “Labor market information is a wonderful tool for community colleges looking to better understand their local economy. Knowing who collects it, how they collect it, and what its limitations are is key to using labor market information effectively.”

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
