We don’t need more technology in schools. We need more time and to pay teachers more so we can attract the best people to the field. Technology can’t solve everything and our educational system has been under attack for at least 30 years. You wanna fix education? Fund it like the military.
But resources like Coursera and EdX are incredible - why not let the best educators make courses like that and then teach millions of students?
It also allows them to have a freer syllabus.
I’m not saying tech doesn’t have a place. Obviously we shouldn’t go back to drawing things in dirt with a stick. But we’ve tried EVERYTHING except for what would make a significant improvement: the best teachers and more time in the classroom.
Yeah, it's just not clear how scalable that is.
