By Wesley Fryer On January 4, 2019 · Tagged With: floridaproject, homeless, hunger, nonprofit, outreach, policy, poverty, reform, teachers · Add Comment

Welcome to Episode 463 of the Moving at the Speed of Creativity podcast, a show by Dr. Wesley Fryer (@wfryer) focusing on digital creativity, media literacy, digital literacy, digital citizenship, instructional technology integration and engaged learning both inside and outside the classroom. This episode features an interview with Shelly Fryer (@sfryer) about the 2017 movie, "The Florida Project" (@floridaproject). The IMDB description of the movie is, "Set over one summer, the film follows precocious six-year-old Moonee as she courts mischief and adventure with her ragtag playmates and bonds with her rebellious but caring mother, all while living in the shadows of Walt Disney World." The Florida Project raises a host of important issues facing every community, including poverty, homelessness, social services, education and schools, non-profit and church outreach programs, and more. As a lifelong educator with extensive experiences working with families in poverty through church ministry, as well as educational and social services for homeless children and families in Oklahoma City, Shelly Fryer has unique and important perspectives on the issues and needs highlighted in "The Florida Project." Check out the podcast shownotes for links to referenced books, resources, organizations and websites mentioned in the show. Please reach out to Shelly or Wes with feedback and additional resources or ideas this movie or this podcast interview encourages you to share.

Things I Learned Traveling to Egypt

By Wesley Fryer On November 20, 2017 · Tagged With: android, customs, inspection, iphone, privacy, rights, surveillance, travel · 2 Comments

The past few days I had an opportunity to travel to Cairo, Egypt, to present and participate in the 2017 EduForum Conference and also do a little sightseeing. Since sharing my second TEDx talk in November 2016, "Digital Citizenship in the Surveillance State," I've continued to read and research about data privacy issues especially as they apply to smartphones, laptops, and international travel. As a result of that research as well as frequent conversations on "The EdTech Situation Room" with Jason Neiffer, I learned a number of things in the weeks leading up to this trip as well as on the trip about privacy and surveillance that I'd like to share. In addition, this was my first trip to leave all my Apple and iOS devices at home, instead traveling with our family 11" Dell Chromebook ($200) and a Motorola 4E Plus (4th Gen) Android smartphone ($146). My primary reasons for making these hardware changes for this international trip were security and privacy concerns. If you have questions, feedback or suggestions on any of the lessons I outline in this post, please leave a comment below or reach out via Twitter to @wfryer. Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, and none of the lessons learned or ideas shared in this post should be construed as legal advice.
