In this episode of EdTech Elevated, Dr. Mike Moore engages in a compelling conversation with Dr. Jonathan Gyurko, President and Founder of the Association of College and University Educators (ACUE), about the transformative power of quality teaching in higher education. Dr. Gyurko underscores the critical need for a national movement focused on enhancing teaching practices, highlighting that while faculty are often trained as researchers, they are rarely trained in effective pedagogy. This lack of focus on teaching quality directly impacts student engagement, persistence, and graduation rates. The discussion also explores how educational technology, including artificial intelligence, can play a vital role in supporting faculty development and improving the teaching and learning experience. Dr. Gyurko introduces the concept of 'publicization,' which aims to redefine the public versus private interests in education, advocating for educational policies that prioritize the common good and ensure accessibility and quality for all students. The episode concludes with a thought-provoking dialogue on the evolving meaning of being an educated American in the 21st century, arguing for a holistic approach that integrates access, affordability, and a commitment to high-quality teaching, thereby fostering an education system that prepares students not just for the workforce but also for thoughtful, engaged citizenship.   Sponsored by Partner in Publishing: https://partnerinpublishing.com/   Bookmarks:  00:07: Introduction to EdTech Elevated 00:38: Host Introduction: Dr. Mike Moore 01:13: Guest Introduction: Dr. Jonathan Gyurko 02:30: Professors Aren’t Taught How to Teach  04:43: The Need for NHETC  05:07: ACUE’s Mission  11:06: Partner in Publishing’s Marketing Services 11:44: How EdTech Has Influenced Teaching and Learning 13:01: ACUE’s New AI Quick Series  14:39: What it Means to be an Educated American  19:32: Examination of Declining Public Confidence in Higher Education  23:04: Partner in Publishing’s Video Services 23:39: Dr. Gyurko’s Book, “Publicization” 32:35: The Role of Technology in Enhancing Public Education and Community Engagement 34:57: EdTech Elevated Closing Remarks   Resources: Jonathan Gyurko | LinkedIn ACUE Publicization: How Public and Private Interests Can Reinvent Education for the Common Good Mike Moore | LinkedIn Partner in Publishing
