Most instances of remote and even synchronous learning involve basic content delivery. Students can\u2019t make it to class or campus, so they do the next best thing. They watch recorded lectures, make their way through learning modules, and occasionally videoconference or message their instructor and peers. But that\u2019s not how Dr. Gregg Cannady sees it.<\/p>\n

Cannady teaches at the Highlands Ranch STEM School, a public charter school in the suburbs of Denver. Over the past few years, Cannady has pursued a singular goal: connecting his students with as many industry leaders, experts, educators, and other classrooms as possible. Highlands Ranch learners do this all from their own campus.<\/p>\n

With the use of videoconferencing software and devices, Cannady has become something of a synchronous learning evangelist.<\/p>\n

\u201cSynchronous learning technology allows for engaged\u00a0learning where students solve problems in real time with other students, [people in other] industries, higher ed, and anyone else,\u201d Cannady said.<\/p>\n

The Advantages of Synchronous Learning<\/h1>\n

\u201c[I]n addition to [the work of] those like Carl Wieman at Stanford<\/a>,\u00a0\u00a0there is a mountain of evidence [suggesting] that active, experiential learning works while content delivery does not.\u00a0 If we are talking about REAL learning, it must be student driven and the teacher becomes the facilitator of students with infinite potential who have access to infinite content.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDeveloping a collaborative network that supports real-world innovation and equal access for all children is\u00a0urgently\u00a0needed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"synchronous
The SYNK in action.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The synchronous learning classroom at Highlands Ranch, known as the SYNK, consists of a smartboard, numerous monitors, a projector, a 360\u00b0 degree camera and video display from Polycom, audio equipment, and mics that can pick up speech from anyone in the room. For software, Cannady uses Zoom videoconferencing along with the Pano app from Polycom.<\/p>\n

Yes, that\u2019s a lot of hardware. Highlands Ranch has benefited from some generous donations in that regard. But at the same time, Cannady stresses that he\u2019s doing his best to explore the potential of technology currently available. Many other schools participate in synchronous learning with Highlands Ranch students and make do with significantly less.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also have scaled our research to a rural Mexican class which uses a donated laptop, a webcam on a stick, old speakers, a projector on a bare wall and all in a room with no windows or air-conditioning. [Other partners\u2019] room systems range from $1,000 to $3,000 in cost.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe SYNK\u00a0is a lab for what is possible and how can this technology be used more effectively.\u201d<\/p>\n

There’s More to the Digital Divide than Meets the Eye<\/h1>\n

One fruitful connection allowed by the SYNK has been the connection between rural and urban classes. Cannady has facilitated collaborative learning between his classes and those in Arickaree, CO, a rural district where he grew up.<\/p>\n

\u201cUrban\u00a0students\u00a0are more likely to be exposed to diverse industries, teachers with advanced degrees and training, and resources that represent an innovative\u00a0world\u00a0where the design process [timeline] has gone from\u00a0years to, in some cases, 24 hours.\u00a0 The world is moving fast and our students need to the tools and connections that enable them to live on the edge.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRural students have as much or more potential to thrive in a high tech world.\u00a0Simply\u00a0connecting them to\u00a0opportunities opens doors of possibilities that they can easily walk through.\u00a0 These rural\u00a0students know how to work and are in many cases more eager to learn than urban youth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRural\u00a0teachers\u00a0and schools worry that they are not qualified, can’t find experts in technology, etc.\u00a0 The truth is that even the most\u00a0qualified, highly trained teacher cannot keep up with the design process and\u00a0available content.\u00a0 If teachers know how to find\u00a0experts and connect, they become\u00a0facilitators.\u201d<\/p>\n

It’s Easier than You Think<\/h1>\n

But that\u2019s hardly the beginning of what the SYNK has allowed. Synchronous learning is more than possible with a limited budget. \u201cWe host classes in grades K-12 and almost every subject.\u00a0[We\u2019ve connected with] schools in Alaska, Mexico, Kansas, [along with] experts in everything from Mercy Corps to physics.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Cannady has proven that it doesn\u2019t take much to connect two classrooms, he recognizes that not all educators share his zeal. \u201cI hear\u00a0excuses:\u00a0\u00a0“No Time!” “Not part of my curriculum” etc. It’s true, teachers are swamped and required to do many things that take up their energy and time.\u00a0 We all\u00a0decide\u00a0how to spend our time and money. Can we shift our priorities so that teachers have more\u00a0time\u00a0and support to innovate?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>I hope so.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cannady likes to emphasize that partnerships with innovative companies and the tech industry should be a key component of any K-12 education. But at the same time, that partnership needs to occur with good faith on both sides.<\/p>\n

\"synchronous
Videoconferencing software allows for full participation of every learner.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cI would LOVE to see industry and come together to find\u00a0scaffolded solutions in which industry understands that they must work together when it comes to education.\u00a0 Unlike teleconferencing in high-budget companies, ZOOM, SHARP, Polycom, Cisco, Aver etc. \u00a0should spend less time competing for our money and instead collaborate with us so that anyone can find a solution without having to buy the\u00a0Cadillac. \u00a0 It’s good to know what the Cadillac is.\u00a0 Our world needs to understand that ALL\u00a0students need these connections, especially those in underserved or poverty stricken areas.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course it’s not just the responsibility of\u00a0telecommunication companies.\u00a0 Policy, industries seeking well trained work force, higher\u00a0education . . . we all should prioritize student learning.\u00a0 We spend so much on things that have less impact.\u00a0 Why not learning!\u00a0 In the long run, we will profit financially and socially.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Time Has Come to Fly Outside the Flock<\/h1>\n

As a final thought Cannady highlights how the education system is largely broken in the U.S. and one of its biggest problems is that doesn\u2019t sufficiently support teachers.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough I’ve always felt that my strength is\u00a0teaching, I’ve mostly been\u00a0embarrassed to be a teacher. Teachers don’t get rich, are not supported as well as other career fields. \u00a0NOW\u00a0– \u00a0I know teaching is the most noble profession. Our work with students puts us on the\u00a0front lines with young people who are the hope for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTake a look at the most recent brain research<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should spend more time and money on these young brains.\u00a0 Imagine what would happen if we invested\u00a0in five year\u00a0olds.\u00a0Watch out world!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEVERYONE MUST support teachers so that they can find the best approach, skill and content. Everyone in the world should be on the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

After studying English at McGill University in Montreal, he went to work full time as a freelancer while living abroad in countries such as Greece, New Zealand, and Vietnam. His journalism has been published by CKUT 90.3 FM, Montreal Rampage, Potent, and HNGN. He has also produced a series of audio interviews concerning Canadian poetry for Vallum: Contemporary Poetry. His latest work is Code Burst, a podcast that investigates a free coding bootcamp in the Appalachian region of the U.S. that seeks to retrain ex-coal miners for jobs in the tech industry, along with the promise learning to code offers more broadly.
