Transforming Education for the Connected Generation feat. Jordan Shapiro, Ph.D., Author and Thought Leader

Jordan Shapiro, a globally celebrated thought leader, brings his expertise in education and parenting to this episode of the Illuminate Higher Education podcast. Jordan is the author of The New Childhood: Raising Kids to Thrive in a Connected World and the upcoming book Father Figure: How to be a Feminist Dad.

In this episode, Jordan and Kiran take a deep dive into several topics from Jordan’s publications. Regarding education, Jordan believes that learning is the process of building a shared language. To this end, schools need to improve at fostering collaboration and communication, skills that will serve students throughout their lives.

They also discuss the role technology plays in education, and how resistance to tech in learning environments is ignoring the real world children live in.

The episode wraps with a teaser of Jordan’s new book, Father Figure. He shares how his experiences as a father shaped his outlook and outlines the four steps men can take to become feminist dads.
