The people who build and fund edtech tools occupy different professional worlds than the educators who use those tools. And those worlds can sometimes collide. That was clear when we invited a venture capitalist who invests in edtech companies to have a dialogue with a professor who has been critical of the edtech industry. The topic: what role should artificial intelligence play in education?

Recently, lawmakers in Iowa penned a bill that, if passed, would have required cameras in every K-12 classroom in the state. These cameras would allow parents to livestream their children’s lessons throughout the school day. Meanwhile in Indiana, a bill would have required teachers to turn in a year’s worth of lesson plans in advance. Both failed to pass their respective state legislatures.

The unemployment rate, for example, has fallen to 3.8 percent, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. But there’s still a labor shortage , and states are looking to make sure their workforces are truly competitive. As states struggle to keep pace with the economy, some of them are now turning to K-12 credential transparency, in the hopes that it will show them how to give their workforce the leg up

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

The student-teacher relationship can be one of the most impactful dynamics in a person’s life. The ways students see themselves and the world around them are shaped through effective discussion in the classroom.

Screens and digital media are everywhere, from everyday tech like TVs, phones, and gaming consoles to the laptops, tablets, Chromebooks, and other tech we use in school.

Years ago, I had the opportunity to do a TEDx Talk in Minnesota , and I think about it a lot. The title was #OurVoice, and the whole idea behind the talk was to encourage people to use the platforms available to us to share their voices with the world. I still agree with much of what I shared that day, but I also shared this quote and think it is imperative to what I am writing today; “If you don’t like change, you are going to like irrelevance even less.” General Erick Shinse

Higher education faces significant challenges on all fronts these days. But in my view, the strongest one we face comes from within. I don't mean nefarious administrators, recalcitrant faculty, entitled students, and the like. In fact it's not about people at all. The challenge, the problem, is risk aversion. I am worried not so much that we are losing students, funding, or our currency with the general public.

(Well, I recorded it a couple of weeks ago, but it was broadcast today, and I popped in for some "live" Q&A afterwards, where I was asked the obligatory "do you hate all ed-tech" question. And here I was, trying to be all sweetness and light.). Thank you very much for inviting me to speak to you today.
