The first interview is with SD 61 District Vice-Principal Jon Hamlin, and the second with Lisa Read, the District Instructional Technology Coordinator for SD 79. Both have somewhat different perspectives on education technology in general but in both interviews, they&nbsp;talk about how their role in their School Districts is not to evaluate the pedagogical reasons for using a new multimedia learning tool but to leave pedagogy considerations up to individual teachers and their professional judgement. Lisa and Jon do however look closely at new multimedia tools for FIPPA compliance and make sure there is informed consent if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you listen to the conversations please ask yourself why Lisa and Jon would not want to evaluate new multimedia apps suggested by teachers in their School Districts using a pedagogical lens rather than limiting their review to FIPPA considerations only? Consider using your new  to help you record and remember key information from the interviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-soundcloud aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"EDCI 337 Jon Hamlin SD 61 Interview by Rich McCue\" width=\"676\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F839805523&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxwidth=676&#038;maxheight=1000&#038;dnt=1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Interview with Jon Hamlin, District Vice Principal, SD 61, Victoria, BC.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Websites mentioned in Jon&#8217;s interview:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Focused Educational Resources for BC Teachers &amp; Students: <a href=\"https:\/\/k12.bcerac.ca\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/k12.bcerac.ca\/\">https:\/\/k12.bcerac.ca\/<\/a><\/li><li>SD 61 Information Technology for Learning: <a href=\"https:\/\/techforlearning.sd61.bc.ca\/\">https:\/\/techforlearning.sd61.bc.ca\/<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-soundcloud wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Interview with Lisa Read, District Instructional Technology Coordinator, SD 79 by Rich McCue\" width=\"676\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F839818489&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxwidth=676&#038;maxheight=1000&#038;dnt=1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Interview with Lisa Read, District Instructional Technology Coordinator, SD 79, Duncan, BC.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>SD 59 <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sd59.bc.ca\/district-resource-centre\/digital-resources\/elementary-resources\" target=\"_blank\">Digital Resources for Elementary Students<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do we Evaluate Multimedia Learning Tools?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is a selection of rubrics and evaluation forms to help you evaluate the suitability of educational technology tools for a range of age groups and abilities.
