At the Summer Intern Capstone event on August 14, DIIT’s 28 summer interns showcased their achievements after months of hands-on experience with various teams. In a dynamic, science-fair style setting, they presented on topics including data migration, graphic design, and cybersecurity, sharing the skills they developed, the challenges they faced, and the impact their experiences had on them. This event highlights DIIT’s mission and decades-long commitment to collaboration and professional growth. Throughout the summer, the interns had the chance to meet with members of the DIIT team in a series of Intern Events, covering topics such as ‘Career Finance’ and ‘Discovering Your Career Pathway.’ The experience culminated in an insightful session with DIIT's CIO, Intekhab Shakil, who shared insights from his career in IT. He encouraged the interns to seize opportunities, leverage LinkedIn for networking, and pursue IT certifications to further their careers. 🙏A special thank you all the DIIT staff for their support in the program: Intekhab Shakil and the Senior Leadership Team, Babar Zahir and the IDM Team, Tiffany Richardson, M.S.

🌟 Continuing our "Team Showcase" series, we're thrilled to highlight Tiffany Richardson, M.S. HRM our Senior Director of Organizational Strategy, Human Resources & Talent, who has been with DIIT for 2 years. 🌟 Tiffany's journey through HR has been driven by a commitment to representation and advocacy. But it hasn't always been easy. Years ago, when she was feeling deflated, tired from a workplace without diversity, a former colleague and friend said to her: "Look in the mirror....Folks will try to disrespect you for being a woman or being black....Now look in the mirror again. Whatever is looking back at you will be someone else's reason for hope." This conversation inspired Tiffany to stand up for folks like her, who were tired of being unrepresented. "Whether people needed to see me because of my gender, race, ethnicity, age, values... it all mattered," she said. "I've connected with so many people over the course of my career because they saw themselves in me one way or another.” It's an approach that makes her a more effective human resources leader, and well suited to DIIT. She says HR, like information technology, "has to evolve to be most useful. Upholding outdated practices that don't serve the true needs of the organization and its people is a disservice." 💡🔄 Join us in celebrating Tiffany Richardson’s incredible journey and her contributions to DIIT. 🚀👩💼 #TeamShowcase #DIIT #HumanResources #InnovationLeadership #RepresentationMatters #NYCPublicSchools #NYCSchoolsTech #EducationTechnology

🌟 Celebrating Excellence in Education! 🌟 We are thrilled to congratulate two outstanding teachers from Queens for receiving the prestigious FLAG Award for Teaching Excellence! 🏆 This award recognizes NYC public school teachers who inspire learning through creativity, passion, and commitment. Aaron Lober from J.H.S. 157 Stephen A. Halsey, and Alicia Marcinkowski from P.S. 120, both in Queens, are grand prize winners. Aaron, a STEM teacher, worked with Exploring Equity in Computer Science (EECS) to create a STEM curriculum for District 28. Aaron collaborates on various in-school clubs and summer programs, such as the Halsey Robotics Team and the App-making Program, one of which is in partnership with NASA. Alicia, an English as a New Language ENL/Art teacher, combined art history with language learning, to create a unique curriculum that engages and inspires her students. These educators have made significant contributions through their innovative teaching methods and dedication to their students. Please join us in celebrating their achievements and showing support for their remarkable work.

📢 Calling NYC Teachers and Students! 🗣️ Our talented interns are hard at work learning about the product development process focusing on the TeachHub experience, and they need your help! 🙌 Why Your Feedback Matters: TeachHub is a vital platform supporting our educators and students. 🍎📚 Our interns want to learn more about how users interact with TeachHub and would like to hear directly from those who use it the most. 📝 One of the interns working on the project, Eric Lin, describes his experience: “As a rising senior at Brooklyn Tech, I am collaborating with the NYCDOE DIIT to enhance TeachHub by gathering feedback from users to improve the site's functionality and user experience. This opportunity allows me to contribute to a project that will benefit countless users” 🌟 What You Can Do: 👉 Take a few minutes to complete this anonymous survey by Tuesday, August 6: https://lnkd.in/eQYzMAYs Your feedback will be invaluable to our interns’ summer project, and will also be shared with our research and development teams to help us improve the platform to better serve our educational community. 💡💻 Another intern, Leandra Boodram, shares her experience: “I am truly grateful for this opportunity as it allowed me to meet people in this field with many different experiences and backgrounds. My time spent at the DOE has taught me how to be productive in similar environments and has given me insight into what I want my future to look like.” 🌐 Thank you for supporting our interns and contributing to the continuous improvement of TeachHub! 🌟🙏 #DIIT #NYCPublicSchools #EducationExcellence #TeachHub #EdTech #StudentVoice #NYCSchoolsTech #TechinEducation #TeacherFeedback #NYCDoE

This month’s Digital Resolution is to improve our digital accessibility practice. Making websites and applications accessible to users of all abilities is essential work, and there is always room to improve. Here are some easy first steps you can take to make your digital content more accessible: Test with Keyboard-only Navigation ⌨️: Ensure you can do everything you can do with a mouse without one; for example, you should be able to easily tab through the page and clearly see where you are , skip over the navigation to reach the main content, invoke dropdowns, close pop-ups, and fill out forms without using a mouse. Use the WAVE Browser Extension 🌊: Install the free WAVE browser extension to get an overview of accessibility errors and tips on how to resolve them. LIsten to your app using the NVDA Screen Reader 🎧: Utilize the NVDA screen reader to simulate the experience of visually impaired users and listen to web pages instead of reading them. Exceed Accessibility Standards 🚀: Aim to go beyond the minimum requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) level AA (version 2.1). Regularly incorporating a screen reader like NVDA in your development process can help you identify audible redundancies and other issues that a WAVE audit might not catch - addressing these issues will help ensure that all users, including those who use assistive technology, will have a seamless, positive experience using your application. Let's make 2024 the year we prioritize digital accessibility and create inclusive experiences for all users!🌟 #DigitalAccessibility #DigitalResolution #InclusionMatters #AccessibilityStandards #DIIT #NYCPublicSchools #NYCSchoolsTech #TechInEducation
