About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we have Dr. Sofia Rodriguez, an expert in digital humanities and education, to discuss her course, "Masterclass Certificate in Digital Humanities and Education Culturally Responsive Teaching." Dr. Rodriguez, can you tell us about your personal experiences that led you to create this course? GUEST: Absolutely, I've spent over two decades working in education, and I've seen firsthand the growing need for educators to be culturally responsive and digitally literate. This course is a reflection of those experiences and the lessons I've learned along the way. HOST: That's fantastic. Now, can you share some current industry trends relevant to this course? GUEST: Of course, one trend that stands out is the increasing diversity in classrooms, which calls for educators to be more culturally responsive and adapt their teaching styles. Additionally, with the rise of remote learning, digital literacy has become a critical skill for both educators and students. HOST: Yes, that's definitely true. Now, what are some challenges faced in the field or while learning/teaching this subject? GUEST: One challenge is the lack of resources and training for educators to develop their cultural responsiveness and digital literacy skills. Another challenge is addressing the implicit biases that can impact teaching and learning in diverse classrooms. HOST: That's insightful. Lastly, what are your thoughts on the future of this area or industry? GUEST: I believe that the future of education lies in creating inclusive and engaging learning environments that meet the needs of all learners. This course is designed to empower educators to do just that, by providing them with the knowledge and skills to design and deliver culturally responsive and technology-rich lessons.
