Next Episode: 5. Personalized Learning with Shawn Rubin
The effort to digitize classrooms is often fraught with expense and disappointment. Schools have spent well over $100 billion on computers, but often find their investment does not pay off.
The good news is that it's possible to use technology to create school designs that were completely unimaginable a few decades ago. But it takes the right model and the right leader, both at school and home.
This episode focuses on the problem of "cramming" technology into children's lives and suggests an alternative, more successful way of thinking about deploying disruptive innovations.
In the show, we discuss:
Slope School Acton Academy Kitchen appliances Katherine Mackey's "Cramming" blog The history of the blackboard The legislative process How to avoid cramming The learning model: What's the experience for students? The leader: Is he or she entrepreneurial? Starting one lesson at a time Relevance for parentsYou can view the accompanying materials at https://www.readytoblend.com/post/digitizing-classrooms.
